A classic, prolific dark-green zucchini. Soraya is one of the most frequently chosen zucchini varieties in Central Europe – early, prolific and reliable. Classic dark-green, club-shaped fruits with white-cream, juicy flesh. The plant is compact (not trailing), so it does not take up half the vegetable garden.
Soraya has a bushy habit (not climbing, like a typical zucchini), making it ideal for smaller vegetable gardens where there is no room for spreading stems. The plants are resistant to downy mildew, which makes cultivation much easier during wet summers. The fruits are rich in vitamin C and do not accumulate heavy metals – a healthy choice even from an urban garden.
Sowing (late April, in pots): sow the seeds in 8–10 cm pots at a temperature of 20–25°C. You can also sow directly outdoors in May, once the risk of frost has passed.
Planting out (second half of May): plant the seedlings at 1 × 1 m spacing, sowing 2–3 seeds in one spot, at a depth of 3 cm. After emergence, leave one strongest plant.
Care: a very sunny position (preferably south-facing), fertile, humus-rich soil, enriched with compost or manure. Water regularly at the base, never onto the leaves.
Harvest (July – September): harvest the fruits regularly when they are 18–22 cm long. The more often you harvest, the more fruit the plant will set. Do not leave “forgotten” zucchinis on the plant – one large fruit can stop the plant’s entire production.
Classic cooking: for grilling, frying, baking and stuffing. Excellent for vegetable spreads, lecso, ratatouille and zucchini noodles. It can be pickled like cucumbers, frozen in slices or grated for fritters. A bonus for little ones: grated zucchini blends perfectly into carrot cake or pancakes.
Zucchini tastes best when it is 20 cm long and not too thick. Larger fruits become spongy, develop large seeds and lose their firmness. Harvest every 2–3 days – during peak season, one Soraya plant can produce 2–3 zucchinis per week. Companion plants: it likes pole beans, sweetcorn and tomatoes; it does not like potatoes or cucumbers.
