Courgette, zucchini - Nimba - 100 g - Compact variety for all gardens - Fresh Seeds

Courgette Nimba is an early, high yielding variety with a bushy habit that forms compact, well branched plants. It crops generously through much of the summer. The fruits have a classic cylindrical to club shaped form and a light green skin with subtle darker stripes. The flesh is creamy white, juicy, and tender, making this courgette ideal for grilling, stewing, baking, frying, and for homemade preserves. Nimba is valued for stable yields, good fruit quality, and its versatile use in the kitchen. Its mild flavour makes it an easy choice for many summer dishes.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds 2 to 3 cm deep. This depth provides stable conditions for germination and supports the development of a strong root system from the earliest stages of growth.

Outdoor sowing time

Sow directly outdoors in May, once the soil is warm enough and the risk of frost has completely passed. This is the right time for young plants to establish quickly and grow with vigour.

Sowing time under cover

Under cover in a tunnel or greenhouse, sow in April. This allows you to raise healthy seedlings earlier and can bring the harvest forward by several weeks compared with direct sowing.

Planting time

Plant out seedlings in mid May, when the weather is settled and frosts are no longer a threat. At this time, plants root well and start growing quickly.

Spacing

Space plants at about 80 x 80 cm. This gives them enough light, room to develop, and good air circulation, which helps reduce the risk of fungal diseases. Well spaced plants reward you with large, juicy fruits through the summer.

Harvest time

Harvest from July to August, although in favourable conditions the season can last longer. The best flavour comes from young fruits about 15 to 20 cm long. Their tender flesh and thin skin make them well suited both for fresh use and for preserving.

Growing

Courgette Nimba is very easy to grow. You can sow it directly outdoors or plant seedlings raised earlier under cover. Choose a sunny spot sheltered from wind and provide fertile, humus rich, free draining soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist and support healthy growth. In good conditions, Nimba crops heavily and continuously through the summer, providing fresh vegetables full of flavour. It rewards growers with reliable results and consistent harvests.
