The new dacha season is just around the corner. And that means a lot of work ahead to get a good harvest.
Work is also planned on zucchini, a favorite of many.
However, first of all, it is worth knowing where exactly this crop should be planted to obtain a truly rich harvest.
An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises paying attention to some features of the plant.
According to her, zucchini need sunlight and warmth.
In addition, it is highly desirable to prepare a good drainage layer and take care of fertile soil.
The most optimal place for zucchini will be one that provides them with protection from the wind and sufficient sunlight.
Therefore, you should not plant them in partial shade or under tree crowns. Otherwise, you will not see a good harvest.
Before planting, the selected area should be cleared of weeds.
It is also necessary to add organic fertilizers to the soil in order to increase its nutritional properties.
As for the choice of variety, you need to take into account the climatic features of your region.
Hybrids such as Kavili, Lenutsa, Ardendo, Marcella, Asma and others have proven themselves well among many summer residents.
Remember to water your zucchini regularly, especially on hot days, but do not allow water to stagnate.
In addition, it is necessary to periodically remove weeds, apply fertilizers and trim excess shoots, thereby stimulating fruit growth.
