Description
A proven garden courgette for early and abundant harvests
Zucchini 'Zuboda' is a classic variety appreciated by gardeners for many years. It produces green, slightly marbled, elongated fruits with few seeds and a particularly mild flavour. Smaller fruits are especially tender and aromatic, while mature ones can grow up to 20 cm in length.
As a compact, non-trailing courgette, 'Zuboda' is ideal for garden beds, raised beds and large containers. Harvest begins around six weeks after planting, making it an early and reliable producer. Regular harvesting encourages new fruit development and ensures consistent yields throughout the summer. Courgettes can be stored in the fridge for about a week.

Sowing and care
Sowing and care
Courgettes are best sown indoors from April and planted out after the last frosts. Direct sowing is possible from May. Allow around 1 m spacing, as plants grow vigorously and need good air circulation. A sunny, nutrient-rich location and regular watering support healthy growth and generous yields. With proper care, 'Zuboda' proves to be a rewarding, fast-growing variety that reliably delivers fresh fruits all summer long.
