  On 8 July 2022 the agro committee named zucchini among the first 30 tonnes of early vegetables — an early-vegetable harvest snapshot, not a claim that the north is climatically earlier than the south. Voronezh’s 25 July start comes from a different source type (late-July 2026 care advisory) and must not be read as a head-to-head phenology comparison. No explicit peak: repeated picking until autumn frost; 15 September end is editorial.

    Official notice: by 8 July 2022 the first 30 tonnes of cauliflower, white cabbage, broccoli and zucchini had been collected, plus 15 tonnes of berry crops (strawberry and honeysuckle). A campaign snapshot, not a full zucchini or strawberry calendar.

  Rosselkhozcenter Voronezh branch (31 July 2026): in late July zucchini is already fruiting and ripe fruit should be picked. Start 25 July is “late July”. The Leningrad 8 July start is a 2022 early-vegetable campaign snapshot of another kind and is not copied here. No explicit peak; 15 September end is editorial (repeated picking until frost). Advisory text, not a farm bulletin.
