The fruits are greenish-white in color and are elongated cylindrical in shape. The weight of each individual vegetable can reach 1000 grams. The pulp is white, quite dense, tender and juicy.

In cooking, the variety has a fairly wide application. Zucchini is suitable for fresh consumption, frying, stewing, canning and pickling.

Features of growing and care

The most optimal place for growing zucchini "Hare's ear" is a well-lit, poorly ventilated area of ​​fertile light soil.

Advice! Zucchini do not tolerate high acidity in the soil and close occurrence of groundwater, therefore, for their cultivation, you should carefully consider these factors.

Plants such as onions, potatoes, and tomatoes are excellent predecessors of squash.

Sowing seeds is carried out in a previously prepared and warmed soil immediately after the threat of spring frosts disappears.

Further care of the plant includes a number of standard procedures for the gardener, such as:

  • deletion weeds and loosening the earth at the base of the bush; Do not forget that frequent deformations of the soil cover can have both positive and negative effects on the plant. On the one hand, a regular flow of oxygen to the root system has a beneficial effect on the development and growth of squash, and on the other hand, frequent intervention in the roots can lead to their mechanical damage, which will negatively affect the above indicators. Therefore, it is extremely important not to get carried away with 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 fruits ripen, watering should be slightly limited to prevent rot and pests.
  • fertilization of the plant with complex or organic preparations, as well as growth stimulants (with poor soil composition).
  • regular and systematic collection of already ripe fruits from the bush.
Important! Harvesting should be done at least 1-2 times a week to prevent overripening of the fruit. Exceeding the period of stay of the squash in the garden negatively affects its taste and marketability.

Advantages and disadvantages

Zucchini "Hare's ear" is popular with gardeners due to a number of positive factors characteristic of this variety.

The first and, perhaps, the most significant criterion is high yield. The fruits are small in size, but their number makes many growers make their choice in favor of this variety.

The second criterion is the taste of zucchini and the versatility of its use in cooking.Fruits of the "Hare's Eye" variety can be eaten raw, fried, stewed, baked, pickled, canned and even frozen. All of the above procedures in no way negatively affect its taste, but even, on the contrary, make them more expressive.

The third indicator is unpretentiousness. The plant does not require the creation of additional or special conditions for growing, it is not demanding on temperature and moisture. Despite this, do not forget about the plant's needs for a certain soil composition: on acidic and especially heavy plots of land, zucchini will not grow in full force. This criterion is perhaps the only drawback of the variety.

I really like to plant zucchini on my site 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 collection of species. This year I had a chance to get acquainted with the zucchini variety "Zayachye Ushko". I want to tell you about him. Early variety. The seeds have sprouted well. The bushes grew rapidly. About a month after sowing in the ground, there were already small fruits in my garden. The size of a mature vegetable marrow is small. The fruits have an elongated cylindrical shape. Quite a lot of zucchini grows on one bush: 5-8 pieces. The yield is very good and large. Excellent taste. The seeds inside the zucchini pulp are small and there are not very many of them. In general, I liked this variety.
Elena Timofeevna, 56 years old, Nizhny Novgorod
I have been growing zucchini for quite some time. I planted zucchini for a long time. Last year I sowed the "Hare's ear" variety. The zucchini are small in size, even resemble a little zucchini, just 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. There were even more than 7 zucchini growing on one bush. The most important thing is not to forget to pick the fruits on time. I have a few zucchini overlaid on the garden bed, so they were not very tasty and with large seeds. Of the fruits, I mainly made preparations for the winter: salads, caviar. This year I planted the variety again. Despite the fact that the weather conditions in summer did not indulge in warmth, the harvest of the Zayachye Ushko variety was still rich. Now this zucchini is a favorite guest in my beds.
