Seeds and planting

Experienced gardeners give excellent feedback on the Admiral Nakhimov F1 variety, consider it the indisputable success of the series, and recognize it as an ideal mid-season variety for a temperate climate.
In a colder climate, it bears fruit until the first frost, where the autumn is warm, fruits can be harvested until mid-October. For planting into the soil from the greenhouse, seeds begin to germinate according to the lunar calendar of the gardener. Depending on the optimal timing, seed germination for seedlings begins. In a temperate climate, this occurs in early to mid-February.
The bushes of this variety are not sprawling, grow mainly in height, the fruits droop under their own weight, being attracted to the ground. For 1 square. m.

Features of growing pepper
Like all representatives of sweet bell pepper, Admiral Nakhimov F1 prefers warm, but not open sun. It is necessary that there is no drafts, loosening or mulching of the soil. Unlike undersized varieties, it requires obligatory garter, otherwise the bush may fall to the ground or even break from the weight of the fruit. Loosening of the soil at the stem is necessary, but it can be replaced by mulching to preserve moisture. Those who cultivate this crop professionally prefer mulching because the roots of the plant are shallow and loosening can damage them. Bell pepper prefers drip irrigation.He needs less water than tomatoes, but watering is required more often.
In order for the bush to be less damaged, in tall and large-fruited varieties, experienced gardeners use trellises instead of the usual garter. However, if the plantation is small in size, you can use standard pegs and a rope that will not damage the plant.
Pepper nutrition is required, it is produced 2-3 times during the growing period, using combined mineral fertilizers, which can be purchased at any store for gardeners. When transplanting from greenhouse conditions, delicate roots can be damaged, so it is better to plant pepper for seedlings in peat pots and transfer them to open ground. If the plants are stunted (this often happens when transplanting), you need to use a growth stimulator, which is applied with a spray gun in a small amount.
In cold climates, when transplanted into the soil, even if the soil has warmed up, the transplanted seedlings should be covered with a film at night, in order to avoid freezing of plants.
