It rewards you with generous harvests without demanding complicated care, giving you healthy, tasty vegetables that look excellent in the garden.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds 2-3 cm deep. This helps ensure even emergence, stable root development, and better tolerance to short dry spells when plants are young.

When to sow outdoors

Sow outdoors in May once the soil is well warmed and the risk of frost has passed. In warm soil, seeds germinate quickly and develop into strong, healthy seedlings.

When to sow under cover

Sow under cover in April, for example in a tunnel or greenhouse. This can bring earlier harvests and provides favourable conditions during the first stage of growth.

Planting out

Plant out seedlings in mid May, when the soil temperature is above 15°C and days are longer and warmer. The plants establish quickly and begin vigorous growth.

Spacing

Allow about 80 cm between plants and between rows. This spacing improves airflow, helps reduce disease risk, and gives plants room to spread, supporting heavier cropping.

Harvest period

Harvest in July and August when fruits reach their best size and texture. Young courgettes are especially tender, crisp, and aromatic, ideal for seasonal cooking.

Growing

Nimba has a bushy habit and produces many evenly shaped fruits with an appetising appearance. Grow in a sunny, sheltered position in fertile soil that stays moist yet drains well. Water regularly, particularly during flowering and fruiting. The plants respond well to organic feeding, which can support larger harvests. Nimba is resistant to common cucurbit diseases and performs reliably in temperate conditions, making it a good choice for anyone who wants homegrown vegetables with minimal effort.
