Characteristics of a variety

Zucchini Zolotinka is a bushy and compact plant. It begins to produce small whips only in the second half of its development. But this does not affect the number of fruits formed at all. From one bush you can collect up to 15 bright yellow zucchini. Due to the fact that the variety is early ripening, harvesting can begin as early as 47-50 days from the date of planting.

The fruits themselves, in addition to the bright yellow color, are up to 15 cm in size and weigh up to 0,5 kg. Their skin is thick and smooth. Small fruits can be successfully used for canning. Due to its juiciness and density, the pulp of this variety is somewhat reminiscent of a cucumber. In addition, it is slightly sweet and crunchy. The content of solids in these zucchini is up to 8%, and sugar – 4%. This variety is ideal for feeding children from one year to 7 years. During canning, the pulp of the fruit does not lose its density, and its beautiful creamy color will only decorate winter preparations.

Recommendations for growing

Zucchini variety Zolotinka will respond with a good harvest, subject to certain conditions:

  1. The landing site should be sunny.
  2. The soil is either fertile or neutral. If the soil in the area is acidic, then it must be artificially limed. It is also recommended to apply organic and mineral fertilizers.
  3. Of the predecessors, onions, early vegetables, potatoes and other root crops will be the best.

Sowing seeds in the ground can be done immediately after spring frosts at the end of May. It is worth preparing the holes in advance. The optimal distance between the holes is about 60 cm. Several seeds can be planted in each hole. After the appearance of the first true leaves, weak shoots can be removed. It is important not to damage good seedlings.

Also, Zolotinka can be grown for seedlings. This is done in early May, followed by planting in the ground in early June.

Care of planted plants consists in:

  1. Use of covering material immediately after planting.
  2. Regular watering, loosening and hilling.
  3. Application of mineral and organic fertilizers.
Advice! It is necessary to carefully remove the remains of the petals that are on the corolla of young ovaries. If they are left, then under the influence of incoming moisture, they can become a source of rot on the fruit. This advice is more about outdoor plants.

Subject to agrotechnical recommendations, you can get up to 8 kg of zucchini per square meter.

The variety is distinguished by its fertility. I decided to plant as an experiment and did not know where to put the crop later. The bushes are neat, small, like nests. There is no such spreading as some varieties. On the bushes I have from 13 to 15 fruits. Their taste is very mild and pleasant. I plucked all sorts of them: small and not very. It seemed to me that small ones are more suitable for canning. But those that are larger are ideal for all sorts of stews and the like. In this case, the fruits do not deteriorate. They can lie down without rotting. And the color! He is just magical, such a bright yellow.

Seeds of this variety were given by a neighbor “for testing”. Usually I plant green zucchini, but I decided to try this. Painfully, she praised them. Planted immediately in the ground, as always. They went up quickly and amicably. The bushes were all flat and small. It’s funny, but the bed took on a decorative look, especially when the first yellow fruits appeared. The yield is large. The bushes stood straight strewn. According to a neighbor, I was expecting something incredible to taste. But we didn’t like it. They were kind of fresh. In general, everything went to the cattle. She ate them with great pleasure. Needless to say, they were well kept. Moreover, we did not create special conditions for this. We didn’t like the variety. But those who have doubts can plant a little for testing.

I have been growing this variety for about 5 years. The variety is ordinary, something transcendental should not be expected. In general, this variety should be compact in size. But for me, for some reason, it grows like a weed. Already bought different seeds – the result is the same. My Zolotinka does not get sick and pleases with abundant flowering. The harvest is great. From each bush up to 15 zucchini. In this case, the fruits can be harvested before the first frost. The taste of the zucchini, in my opinion, gives a pumpkin. The flesh is a little loose, but not much. The only negative, in my opinion, is that they quickly overripe. If you miss the moment, then their skin becomes very coarse and the flesh becomes looser. I leave these zucchini for seeds. I can recommend the variety.
