Therefore, it is extremely important not to get involved in loosening the soil in the growth zone of the bush, everything should be in moderation. Regular abundant watering during active growth and the growing season;When the fruits ripen, watering should be slightly limited to prevent the appearance of rot and pests.

I really like to plant zucchini in my area due to the fact that they do not need to be specially looked after. I grow different varieties. Every year I try to update and replenish my species collection. This year I had a chance to get acquainted with the variety of zucchini “Hare’s ear”. And I want to tell you about it. The variety is early. The seeds germinated well. The bushes grew quickly. About a month after sowing in the ground, there were already small fruits in my garden. The size of a mature zucchini is small. The fruits have an elongated cylindrical shape. Quite a lot grows on one bush of zucchini: 5-8 pieces. The yield is very good and large. Taste qualities are excellent. The seeds inside the zucchini pulp are small and there are not very many of them. In general, I liked this variety.

I have been growing zucchini for a long time. I have been planting zucchini for a long time. Last year I sowed the Hare Ear variety. Zucchini are small in size, even a little like zucchini, but not so green on the outside. In terms of taste, the variety is in no way inferior to large-fruited species. The harvest was great. Zucchini on one bush grew even more than 7 pieces. The most important thing is not to forget to collect the fruits on time. I have a few zucchini a little stale in the garden, so they were not quite tasty and with large seeds. From the fruits I mainly made preparations for the winter: salads, caviar. Planted again this year. Despite the fact that the weather conditions in summer did not indulge in warmth, the harvest of the Hare’s Ear variety was still rich. Now this zucchini is a favorite guest in my beds.
