Features of the climate in the Moscow region, problems and growing conditions

The temperate continental climate of Moscow Region is excellent for growing pepper. Pacceptable amount of moisture with optimum temperature at summer period create bfavorable opportunities for plant development. However, local climatic conditions still force gardeners to carefully select varieties.

In spring, the weather is unstable and may surprise in the form of return frosts (a temporary drop in temperature below 0 ° C usually at night or early in the morning) This happens in May periodically.

Winter can also come quite early and suddenly, when the late cultivars have not yet gone through all the vegetation cycles. We have to take emergency measures to save peppers: water the soil well, create smoke curtains in calm weather, and also warm the plants with paper, polyethylene, lutrasil, etc. All this requires additional effort.

Given these factors, early or mid-ripening varieties should be selected, the biological activity dates of which will not seize the seasons that are risky for growing the crop. In addition, varieties must be zoned (adapted to the weather conditions of the region and soils, resistant to local diseases and pests).

Summer is not always predictable either: due to cyclone activity, it can be wet and rainy, and when anticyclones invade and dominate — very hot and dry. For this reason, for cultivation in unprotected soil, it is necessary to choose pepper, which forms more compact, leafy bushes and is able to continue growing under the influence of high temperatures.

Due to the extended growing season in this climate zone pepper grown through seedlings. Moreover, for better acclimatization, it should be tempered. Before landing Location on (hbut 10 days) it must be regularly taken out to fresh air for 10-15 minutes.

Common Growing Questions

Is it true that peppers need to be planted closely to get very large fruits?

Good fruits in the open ground can be obtained with an optimal distance between the bushes: 25-30 cm (undersized);30-35 cm (medium height);40-45 cm (tall).With a denser planting, plants will not be able to receive enough light. In addition, it will be difficult to care for them.

Will there be more yield if 2 plants are planted per hole?

It is advisable to evenly distribute the seedlings over the area, since with a dense planting they will create mutual shading, the conditions for photosynthesis will worsen. The total yield may slightly increase, but the productivity of each individual plant in a pair will decrease. The advantages of growing 2 copies per hole: better soil stability and pollination, as well as survival after a bear’s visit.

Do peppers need to be tied up?

Only tall varieties and hybrids need to be tied up.

What grows best in the suburbs - hybrids or original varieties?

Original varieties are more unpretentious, they better tolerate sudden changes in temperature and are less demanding of the conditions of detention, but in comparison with hybrids their productivity is less stable.

AT unprotected soil in the suburbs, you can safely grow pepper, getting a good harvestand. However, in addition to observing the rules of necessary agricultural measures, it is important to correctly select varieties or hybrids.

Early ripe and mid-ripe peppers are suitable for this region. It is desirable that the bushes are compact. The rest of the gardeners can correlate the characteristics of cultivars (productivity, purpose of the variety, taste and aroma, presentation, transportability, shelf life of fruits, etc.) with their preferences.
