What is the best zucchini variety?

It's hard to imagine a vegetable garden without a vegetable marrow. This vegetable is one of the first to be harvested and appears on tables in the form of various dishes. The ease of growing zucchini, availability, early maturity and other characteristics allow, with proper care, to grow these plants of various varieties in open ground, greenhouses and greenhouses in Siberia, Moscow region and in the Leningrad region.

Varietal variety of zucchini

Our grandmothers did not think much about the varietal characteristics of the plants grown and from year to year they collected their seeds from the best fruits. Sometimes a new variety appeared on the site, but its main characteristic was color spectrum fruits: white, green, yellow, etc. with

The arsenal of modern gardeners is much wider and the color scale as a sign has faded into the background. Attention is paid to such characteristics as:

• Ripening terms (early, middle, late);
• Growth type (bush, climbing);
• Pollination features (parthenocarpic or insect pollinated);
• Productivity.

These and other characteristics allow the rule to select a species for specific conditions and get the most out of each plant.

To get a good harvest, you need to select a variety according to its characteristics.

Among the variety of zucchini, special attention should be paid to varieties that have earned the recognition of breeders and are most popular with gardeners. Each group has its own favorites. Someone is convenient due to their ripening time, and someone conquers with their compactness.

The best bush varieties for outdoor cultivation

Most asthenia of the Pumpkin family form long, spreading whipsthat require large areas. At the same time, modern summer residents and gardeners are often limited to 6 acres, on which they want to plant a variety of crops.

The limited space and savings of every meter make planting traditional climbing varieties a real luxury, but bushy ones become a godsend for such sites.

Bush squash you can easy to fit into tight spaces and even plant in a flowerbed among flowers, where large leaves will be an excellent backdrop for other plants.

The best varieties of zucchini and zucchini: description

Actually, he is an early ripening variety of a hard-bore gourd. Its homeland is considered to be South and Central America, where it was cultivated for three thousand years BC. He got to Europe after Columbus discovered America, and later, at the beginning of the 19th century, he was brought to Russia.

And they soon appreciated: the fruits are rich in potassium and calcium salts, pectins, easily digestible sugars, vitamin C, are perfectly absorbed by the body, and most importantly, they help the assimilation of other, heavier foods. Fiber of their pulp helps to activate the digestive system.

Reference by topic: How best to grow zucchini - seeds or seedlings. Zucchini varieties

Types of zucchini: white-fruited and zucchini

Zucchini can be grown outdoors in all climatic zones, with the exception of the Far North, being the most cold-resistant of pumpkin crops. They have two varieties: white-fruited (ordinary) zucchini, more varied in color (yellow and green with different shades).

Zucchini are also distinguished by strongly dissected leaves, often with white spots in the corners of the veins. Some inexperienced springs mistakenly take them for powdery mildew, starting to intensively "heal" healthy plants.

Bush and semi-bush marrow

By their shape, zucchini can be subdivided into bush and semi-bush, forming a short whip.

Zucchini seeds germinate at a temperature not lower than 12-13 °, and the temperature above 18 ° can be considered optimal for growth and development.

Moreover, adult plants are quite resistant to drought, but as soon as the slightest frost occurs, they immediately die. I will note the following pattern: at high temperatures and a long day, more male flowers are formed, and at low temperatures and a short day, more female flowers.

In the Middle Lane, zucchini can be grown both through seedlings and by sowing in the ground. I sow seeds for seedlings at the end of April, and plant them in open ground in the third decade of May. At the same time, I sow seeds directly into the ground. I sow the seeds in a square-nesting way according to the scheme 60 × 60 cm, laying out two seeds in the holes, then leaving a stronger seedling. In each hole I preliminarily put 1 kg of humus, 2 tbsp. l. organic fertilizer and 0.5 cups of ash. The seeding depth is 4-5 cm. If you have a desire to plant zucchini on a compost heap, the plants will take it positively, making you happy with the harvest. Do not forget only that the place for them should be as bright as possible!

I water it regularly with warm water, and during the fruiting period I water it more abundantly. I start feeding two weeks after planting, alternating every 10-14 days

organic and mineral. For minerals, I use only complete complex water-soluble compositions with an approximate ratio of N: P: K = 2: 1: 3. I try to harvest fruits at a young age: 10-12-day-old ovaries with delicate skin are the most delicious. If the zucchini are needed for storage, I try to pick them half-ripe, large. Having collected in this way, we can have fruits in our winter diet from three months to one and a half years of shelf life (depending on the variety).

I also drew attention to an interesting feature of our hero; the vegetable marrow has a kind of self-regulation system of fruiting: it never produces more fruits than it can feed!

Zucchini varieties - a wide selection

White-fruited zucchini varieties:

Gribovsky 37, Anchor, Belogor P, Kavili F1, Roller, Sangrum F1, Spaghetti.

These varieties and hybrids have been delighting gardeners for more than one year.

But recently, the newest hybrids of foreign selection have appeared on the horizon: Alba, Aral, Sama, Suha, Yasmin (Japan), Amjad, Ardendo, Arleso, Arlika, Iskander, Karizma, Miletus, El Salvador, Start Line, Ezra (Holland), Asma, Jetta, Lena, Neira {France), Profit.

Zucchini varieties

The best: Zebra, Tsukesha, Kuand, Negritenok, Aeronaut, Diamant F1, Gold Rush F1, Defender F1 (Holland), Candela F1 (Japan).

Round zucchini varieties

Here I will mention Ball, Burzhuin, F1 Festival, Tintoretto (Italy), Ronde de Nice (France), Tondo scuro di Piacenza (Italy).

Unusual varieties of zucchini

In more detail I want to dwell on the interesting and unusual varieties that I liked the most.

• F1 Festival - indescribably beautiful and amaze flax! This original hybrid combines an attractive appearance and the highest taste. Stored until the next harvest.
• Amazing giant- a variety that fully corresponds to its name. Giant fruits up to one meter (!) Long and weighing about 10 kg, growing by leaps and bounds. At the same time, they are perfectly stored for up to 1.5-2 years!
• Watermelon - a round zucchini, with great difficulty distinguishing from its relative with melon. Due to its unusual colors, it successfully disguised itself on an apple tree, without becoming the prey of country thieves.
• Two-color miracle - deliciously adorable fruits! As if an invisible artist created a palette of two colors, clearly drawing the border between them.
• Climbing (Salita) - a masterpiece of the hands of Italian sculptors. Curiously bending their swan necks, the fruits seem to strive to conquer new unexplored peaks ...

So my little story about the tavern, which has become the hero of fairy tales, anecdotes and even movies, has come to an end. And in Soviet times, people always knew that even if there was nothing on the shelves, the "overseas" squash caviar would certainly not go anywhere.

But seriously, millions of Russian gardeners are grateful to this culture, which is already considered our own for its simplicity and availability in cultivation, high yield and culinary value!

Photos of the varieties of zucchini described in the article

On a note:

Both zucchini and zucchini are a bushy variety of common pumpkin, but with oblong fruits, without lashes.

And the relationship with the "giants" is quite obvious: if you do not collect the set fruits at a young age, then the size of these representatives of the flora may well reach the parameters of a pumpkin. The main difference between zucchini, a European variety of zucchini, and its counterpart, is its more pronounced taste. Zucchini is best grown through seedlings. Young plants can be transplanted into open ground throughout June. In this case, it is necessary to provide each seedling with an area of ​​about 1 m2.

If there is not enough space for everyone, feel free to plant the remaining plants in large tubs - they will grow and bear fruit well in them.

Regular, abundant watering of zucchini is especially needed during the period of active growth in July and August. If the plant lacks water, the fruit may turn bitter. Tip: Water the vegetable with diluted nettle mash once a week - this will strengthen the leaves and ensure the flow of nutrients.

The weakest point of zucchini is pollination. These plants are monoecious dioecious, that is, they have both male and female flowers. With poor pollination of female flowers, the ovary of the fruit begins to turn yellow, dry out and then fall off.In addition, at high temperatures, the pollen of male flowers loses its ability to fertilize, and on rainy days it sticks together due to high humidity. In both cases, you should do this: cut off 1-3 male flowers (they have thin stamen brushes inside), cut off the petals and walk with a pistil over the female flowers. Ideally, this should be done in the early morning.

Powdery mildew can also damage the crop. It attacks old leaves, while young ones remain healthy,

and if the plant is strong, new ones constantly appear. For prevention, the vegetable is sprayed with a diluted horsetail decoction or water with a few drops of fennel essential oil. In case of severe damage, preparations based on colloidal sulfur will help.

Well, the most pleasant moment is the harvest. You need to pick the fruits when they have reached 10-20 cm in length,

no more, otherwise they are considered overgrown. If you want to harvest your seed, leave a couple of fruits until fully ripe (you will be surprised at their incredible size!). To find out if the seeds are ripe inside the fruit, try to squeeze the rind with your fingernail. Does not work? You can start harvesting seed stocks.

New varieties of zucchini

1. Have ‘Zuboda’ seeds can be taken for propagation, since varietal characteristics are inherited. In fruits, the seeds take up very little space, but there is a lot of delicate creamy-white pulp.

2. 'Tondo Chiaro di Nizza' forms many globular light green fruits that must be picked as soon as they have reached the size of a tennis ball. The plant first grows in the form of a bush, and from the middle of summer it begins to creep along the ground.

3. The 'Marrow Bush Baby' is a compact variety, therefore ideal for growing in tubs. The fruits should be harvested when they are 10-15 cm in length - later the rind becomes tough

and sticky.

4. 'Custard White' thanks to the excellent "external data" will be in the yard in any garden. Tip: young fruits are eaten whole, for example stewed in butter.

Growing zucchini - the secrets of a rich harvest

Zucchini is an unpretentious vegetable. But nevertheless, it will not hurt to know the basic secrets of agricultural technology. And then you are guaranteed an enviable harvest!

Watering

Zucchini are watered every 7-10 days (depending on the weather and soil type) with warm water under the root or in a groove around the stem, without getting on the leaves and flowers. It is better to do this in the evening at the rate of 8-10 liters per square meter, and when the water is absorbed, the soil can be mulched with earth or loosened.

FAMILY: Pumpkin

CYCLE: Annual cross-pollinated plant

FLOWERS: Dissimilar, large, yellow. Women are located singly, men - in bunches. The pollen is sticky, large, well tolerated by insects

FRUIT: False berry of an elongated ovoid or cylindrical shape, white, pale green, dark green or yellow. Some varieties are striped.

In the rains and when the temperature drops below +15 degrees, the zucchini are not watered.

As a rule, the most delicious, juicy and tender fruits are found in zucchini 15-20 cm long and 5-7 cm thick.

Top dressing

They are usually combined with watering. Now, during the fruiting period, the following top dressing will be useful for zucchini: 40-50 g of nitrophoska or other complex fertilizer per 10 liters of water, spending 1 liter per plant. When applying potassium fertilizers, potassium sulfate is used, since chlorine is not suitable for zucchini.

Pollination

To attract insects to the flowers of zucchini, you can spray them with a solution of honey, sugar or jam. To obtain a higher yield, manual pollination is carried out. The male flower is cut and the female flower is pollinated with it. One male flower can pollinate 2-3 or more female flowers. It is easy to distinguish them: the male flower develops on an even petiole, and at the base of the female one can clearly distinguish the embryo of the fetus. Many people associate the shedding of the ovary with insufficient pollination. However, this can also occur with low soil fertility (then the plants are fed with a 1:10 mullein solution with the addition of ash), lack or excess of moisture (regularly watered in drought, covered with a wire and film frame in heavy rains), boron and iodine deficiency (sprayed solution of boric acid and potassium iodide - 2 g per 10 liters of water).

Diseases of squash

The emergence of diseases (see table) is facilitated by waterlogging of the soil, and the spread is caused by sharp fluctuations in temperature, irrigation with cold water, and non-observance of agricultural technology.The infection persists on plant debris, in the soil. Therefore, it is necessary to observe crop rotation, remove plant residues and especially diseased plants from the site.

Zucchini pests

Of the pests, squash is threatened by the scoop (caterpillars) and the melon aphid. To prevent them from appearing on plants, it is enough to weed the beds, remove the affected leaves and spray the bushes with vegetable insecticides, for example, a decoction of hot pepper. 100 g of finely chopped pods are boiled for an hour in 1 liter of water in a sealed container, insisted for 2-3 days. After the pepper is ground, squeezed, the concentrate is poured into bottles, stored in the refrigerator. Dilute with water 1:10 before use. Against slugs, the ground around the bushes is sprinkled with ash, tooth powder or superphosphate. You can also lay out traps, such as wet rags, and collect pests underneath them daily.

Zucchini: benefits

Thanks to fiber and dietary fiber, zucchini improves digestion, normalizes intestinal function, and removes excess fluid from the body.

Useful for diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys.

Zucchini is recommended to be eaten for cardiovascular diseases, anemia, to maintain hematopoiesis in the elderly and pregnant women.

The seeds contain up to 50% fat, proteins and vitamin E. Squash milk helps with disorders in the liver and kidneys. Grind 2 tablespoons into powder. peeled dried seeds, add 0.5 tsp. honey and 0.5 tbsp. water, stir. Take the resulting portion in the morning before meals, every day or every other day. The course is two weeks.

ADVICE:

• When watering, the main thing is not to overmoisten the soil, otherwise the ovaries and fruits can get sick. If the root system is exposed, the plants are mulched with earth or huddled. And so that the fruits do not rot in the rains, wooden planks are placed under them and the remains of the flower are removed.
• Zucchini does not require pinching the tops. However, for better lighting, ventilation and easier pollination, you can remove a few large leaves from the middle of the bush.

Diseases of squash

Description of the disease	Control measures
Powdery mildew White powdery spots develop on the top and then on the underside of the overgrowth leaf. Shoots become brittle, turn yellow and die off. With a strong development of the disease, the fruits are also affected.	Dilute mullein with water (1: 3), leave for 3 days. Dilute again with water (1: 3) and spray the plants (in the evening). In case of severe damage, treat three times: after 2-3 days.
Bacteriosis The ovary stops developing and rots (this can spread to the stem). The entire fruit, except the top, continues to grow. The result is an ugly fruit with a yellowed wrinkled top, on which brown spots appear.	Spray the plants three times with a 1% solution of boron-board liquid. The term of the last processing is 10 days before harvest. Remove affected fruits.
Root rot In plants, the tips of the roots first die off, then the root collar turns brown. With the development of the disease, the roots turn dark yellow with cracks, and the stem becomes rotten. As a result, the plant stops growing, withers and dies.	Sprinkle a mixture of fresh turf soil, humus and decomposed peat crumb to the bushes to form additional roots. Sprinkle the affected areas of plants with tree-spring ash. Feed.

Zucchini, varieties for every taste

Zucchini is the closest relative of pumpkin (from the same genus and family). This plant in its homeland (and it comes from the New World) is perennial, but in the climatic conditions of Russia it is grown as an annual. Zucchini requires the same conditions as pumpkin, but more thermophilic (it does not tolerate temperatures below 0 degrees at all, although it suffers a cold snap to +6 for a short time). Zucchini is also distinguished from pumpkin by a more compact bush shape and early maturity. In addition, in contrast to pumpkin, young (not reached biological maturity) fruits of zucchini are mainly eaten. Delicacy is considered to be medium-sized and not having a hard crust zucchini.The cultivation of this crop as a whole is not very different from the rest of the pumpkin seeds. Consider some of the features of zucchini agricultural technology.

Zucchini is a long day plant that needs good light. With a lack of light, it grows and bears poorly, since the flowers are not pollinated. In bad weather and when the plantings thicken, the quality of the fruit suffers noticeably. Like all pumpkin seeds, zucchini tolerates insufficiently rotted manure and compost well. Zucchini also does not like excess moisture and is often affected by fungal diseases, especially in heavy rains. To prevent this, an additional dose of potash fertilizers can be applied under the plant. This crop has a well-developed root system, which makes it drought tolerant. But at the same time, the zucchini has large leaves and evaporates a lot of moisture, because of this, the plant can wither in the strong sun. In this case, it must be immediately watered abundantly, but only at the root! Water droplets in the sun act as lenses and burn the leaves.

In general, it is not difficult to grow a zucchini, it does not require special care. But the harvest is good.

What varieties to choose? They can be early ripening and mid-ripening, but this difference is small, from germination to ripening of the first fruits in early varieties it takes 38-45 days, in middle varieties - 60-65 days. The earliest varieties are:

• "Roller" - from germination to ripening 36-38 days, the bush is very compact, the whips are short. More resistant to cold than other varieties, little affected by diseases. Rolik zucchini have smooth, white and tasty fruits.
• "White" is also super early, 35-40 days. The plant is bushy, cold-resistant, unpretentious and resistant to powdery mildew. The fruits are white, very tasty. Zucchini of the "White" variety yield a little more than the previous variety.

There are not very many varieties of zucchini, but today breeders are breeding new, interesting and promising varieties and hybrids. Hybrids, as a rule, are more productive and resistant to diseases and adverse conditions, but their seeds are quite expensive, and it is impossible to get your own seeds from them.

The following hybrids are popular with gardeners:

"Apollo F1" and "Masha F1", they are early, well pollinated in any weather and get sick a little. Their fruits are tasty and mature.

Zucchini are white-fruited (most of the old varieties), yellow-fruited (they have a delicate taste and contain a lot of carotene) and green-fruited, or zucchini (young ovaries can be eaten raw, are actively used in the cuisine of Mediterranean countries). In addition, zucchini have a thinner rind than courgettes, and the zucchini varieties are more varied.

The best varieties of zucchini squash are Zebra, Tsukesha, Aeronaut, Nephrite and Pharaoh. Zucchini variety "Nephrite" ripens later (55-65 days), but they have tasty, juicy and tender pulp, and the bushes themselves are very decorative thanks to the variegated leaves.

The best yellow-fruited varieties: Zheltoplodny, Buratino and Helena.

Good breeding seeds are offered by the Russian firms Gavrish and SeDeK, which are trusted among gardeners.

The best and most unusual varieties of "SeDeK": "Burzhuin" with round fruits, "Gray" - zucchini with gray fruits, "Macaroni" - the pulp of the fruit when boiled breaks down into spaghetti fibers.

Interesting and high-yielding varieties "Gavrish": "Drakosha", with black fruits, "Mavr" and "Kuand", their yield can reach 20 kg per square meter.

The old, tested variety "Gribovskie 37" is not forgotten among the people.

Who planted bush squash, which variety did you like and which one did not?)

Prisoner of conscience

I really like the Negritok, medium-sized, gentle, a shaft, a little larger can lie for a couple of months remaining the same tender (skin).
Delicacy is also very tasty.
The oilman's breakfast is larger and very early.
The golden scallop is awesomely tasty, you need to remove it small.
The tiger cub, the White Swan and the Polar Bear did not impress me, I can hardly grow one fruit at a time.

Agronomist's granddaughter

I liked Kuand and Skvorushka varieties the most.
Of the whites, I liked Belogor and Rolik.
This year, for the first time, I planted a hybrid Atena Polka - very beautiful, almost orange fruits, well, very productive. In any weather, they were perfectly tied, just a pile of fruits grew on top of each other)))) Delicious young, I did not like the adults.
In general, I plant different zucchini, many varieties and hybrids.
I did not like the zucchini "Mix of hybrids and varieties" (the package remained in the country) - there were only tops, many climbing, there were few fruits. I didn't see anything interesting for myself, except for a picture on a bag of seeds))).

Dina

I always plant only bush (I honestly thought that there are only such)). This year I planted Kavili (very good) and Sosnovsky - an excellent variety. I don't like zucchini, so I don't plant it. There were only 3 bushes, of which Sosnovsky - 1 bush. Zucchini SEA. The skin is tender, if you remove it early, then the seeds do not need to be peeled off at all.

Which variety of zucchini gives the best yield?

Hedgehog

mushroom can be

Svetlana Poddubnaya

Iskander, Kavili, Zebra ..

Grenka

Any! With good care.
In the last 5 years I have become addicted to yellow-fruited zucchini. They are better stored than white and zucchini, and a more harmonious return of the crop.

Alevtina

black handsome

Elena Orlova

Svetlana said correctly, the first two varieties of Kavili and Iskander, although expensive, are F1, hybrids, and they begin to bear fruit most quickly and more fruits are tied, since only female flowers are on the bushes and there are no barren flowers, and then if you want more zucchini, pluck them more often, do not let one zucchini grow to a horse size, the more often you remove them, the more of them there will be, especially the first zucchini

Evgeniya Taratutina

Tatiana Vasilievna

I have Tsukesh. I liked the name, and then the zucchini.

Boris Stepanov

We tried a lot of things, we stopped at Aeronaut. So far, we believe that it is the best in terms of yield and quality, and even keeping quality.

To grow zucchini to everyone's envy and surprisingly, you need to observe the growing parameters. The “three pillars” of success are variety, conditions and care.

Zucchini seeds: the best varieties for open ground

Growth conditions

Zucchini need special soil, not heavy, black earth, seasoned with organic fertilizing. On acidic, swampy, with surface groundwater, "royal" zucchini will not grow.

Advice! If the soil is sandy, it is also undesirable to grow zucchini on it, but here, unlike swampy soil, the matter can be corrected by the preliminary application of magnesium fertilizers.

Growing zucchini in the open field

You will have to prepare the soil the day before in the fall. It needs digging to full depth (up to 30 cm), harrowing and fertilizing. The traditional rate of rotted organic matter is added per square meter, which is one standard bucket (about 6 kg). Plus a small amount of potassium supplements - 20 g, and a thirty-gram dose of superphosphate.

Preparing the soil

By the way! In order not to introduce organic matter and save the garden area, which can be used more rationally, you can grow zucchini on a compost heap. Only decomposed compost is suitable for cultivation, not fresh compost. It is desirable two years ago. Productivity with such permanent feeding is usually two to three times higher.

In the spring, the soil is dug up to half the depth, filled with ammonium nitrate (20 g per square meter), loosened with a rake and, warming up in the rays of the warm spring sun, is waiting for new "residents".

Ammonium nitrate

The width of the squash ridge is traditionally made 1.2 m. The best predecessors for this pumpkin crop are cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes and other root crops, onions. After pumpkin seeds, in particular squash, pumpkins and cucumbers, zucchini cannot be grown.

The correct crop rotation for the summer resident

But they can be sown on a joint ridge in one year, if you do not set a goal to grow the fruits of zucchini for seeds.

Advice! Zucchini in a potato field feel great and bear fruit. It is best to plant them around the perimeter of the area with potatoes so that there is enough sun.

The temperature regime for zucchini starts at + 22 ° С. At this temperature and above, there is a rapid growth of leaves, growth of lashes, rapid flowering, massive ovary (in the presence of pollinators and the absence of rain) and ripening of fruits.

As for humidity, high humidity is destructive for the culture. Zucchini can't stand it. It is better to leave them dry than to pour them over. Therefore, among other things, it is not recommended to grow a crop under a film. But if a rainy summer is the norm in your area, the zucchini harvest may be better in a greenhouse.

Zucchini starts to rot due to too high humidity

Care

There are interesting nuances in leaving that are not typical of other cultures. For example, seeds sown in the ground give shoots, which crows, rooks and other large birds love to feast on. If you plan to grow a crop of zucchini, seedlings must be protected from birds.

Advice! To protect the seedlings of zucchini along the plantings, it is necessary to hang strips of paper, foil, film so that they move in the wind and scare away birds.

1. Watering. As already noted, you cannot pour zucchini. Therefore, watering is better sparse than frequent; but better abundant than lean. Plants are watered only with warm water. Ten days before harvesting, watering is stopped.

   Growing zucchini: watering

2. Loosening. Mandatory after every watering or rain. The severity and crustiness of the soil can destroy the plant. Also, zucchini need hilling with additional (not from the hole) soil, to form a mass of adventitious roots.
3. Thinning - will have to be carried out if the seeds are sown directly into the ground. The distance between the growing bushes should be left at least 70 cm, therefore, all control seedlings are removed from the hole, leaving one strongest. It is not necessary to tear a weak plant by the root, as this can damage the roots of another seedling. It is enough just to pinch it near the soil.

   Zucchini need to be thinned

4. The first feeding occurs when the seventh leaf is formed. Given: water, ammonium nitrate, potassium component (in sulfate form, since zucchini do not like chlorine), superphosphate. Proportions: 10 l, 20 g, 20 g, 40 g. The second feeding with the beginning of the formation of ovaries is carried out by organic matter in the form of a solution of mullein 1:10 or bird droppings - 1:15.
5. Pollination - an important prerequisite for fruiting. If there are few insects or they do not work actively enough, they need to be attracted and "interested". It is best to do this by spraying the zucchini with a 2% solution of honey.

   Pollination

   Flowering zucchini

Advice! The method of attracting pollinators No. 1 is to insist several male flowers of the plant on a weak sugar syrup for a day, and then spray the female flowers with the substance.

It is necessary to collect zucchini in a timely manner, aging, they lose useful elements, their skin and pulp become coarse. If you do not want to get into the book of garden records for growing the largest zucchini, harvest when the fruits reach 15 cm, and will be about 6 cm thick.Over the entire growing season, one plant will give up to twenty zucchini, so fruits, even small ones, are more than enough until the next harvest.

Zucchini harvest

Zelentsy fruits remain for about two weeks. Then the skin coarsens, and they can be stored for five months in individual nets suspended from the ceiling or on straw, without contact with each other.

Like other garden crops, the characteristics of the variety and the growing conditions of zucchini sometimes differ very much. According to the variety of varieties, plants are subject to the following classification.
