What makes this variety special
Soraya stands out with a bushy habit (not climbing, like typical zucchini) – ideal for smaller vegetable gardens where there is no space for sprawling shoots. The plants are resistant to downy mildew, which greatly simplifies cultivation in wet years. The fruits are rich in vitamin C and do not accumulate heavy metals – a healthy choice even from an urban garden.
Cultivation step by step
Sowing (end of April, into pots): sow seeds into 8–10 cm pots at 20–25°C. You can also sow directly into the ground in May, after the risk of frost has passed.
Planting (second half of May): plant seedlings at 1 × 1 m spacing, 2–3 seeds in one spot, at a depth of 3 cm. After germination, leave the strongest single plant.
Care: a position with intense sunlight (preferably southern), fertile, humus-rich soil, fertilized with compost or manure. Regular watering at the root, never on the leaves.
Harvest (July – September): pick fruits regularly at 18–22 cm length. The more often you harvest, the more fruits the plant sets. Do not leave "forgotten" zucchinis on the bush – one large fruit stops the entire plant's production.
Usage
Classic cuisine: for grilling, frying, baking, stuffing. Great for vegetable spreads, ratatouille, pasta with zucchini. Can be pickled like cucumbers, frozen in slices or grated for pancakes. Bonus for kids: grated zucchini hides well in carrot cake or pancakes.
Gardener's tip
The best taste comes from zucchini 20 cm long, not too thick. Larger ones become spongy, with large seeds and lose firmness. Harvest every 2–3 days – at full season one Soraya bush can produce 2–3 zucchinis per week. Neighbors: likes pole beans, corn, tomatoes; dislikes potatoes and cucumbers.
