First time trying Nimba zuke...got it from Bakers Creek. Was to be a compact plant...but it just keeps growing. Pretty good tasting and production has really taken off. I did not check it for a day and I found some big ones. Neighbors are happy (so far) to take a lot off my hands.

The plant sure looks healthy! The zukes look great too. How is the flavor?

Flavor is pretty good...I grew Costa Romanesco last year and probably liked its nutty flavor a bit more than Nimba. I have room for one plant and will try a new variety each year.

Looks similar to Cocozelle, too. They both have the striped skin. Very pretty.
