Rules for choosing varieties of pepper
This culture is very widely represented on the market. It is sometimes difficult not to get confused in the whole variety of varieties, their forms, color, purpose and other features. What you need to know to make the right choice?
Hybrid or non hybrid
This criterion is important for those who prefer to choose their own seeds. The “F 1” icon means that this is a first-generation hybrid and you cannot get seeds from it.
They have their advantages: high productivity and resistance to disease. Compared to their non-hybrid "brothers."
Ripening time
Early - 70 - 110 days.
Mid-season - 115 - 135 days.
Late - from 145 days.
The best option is to plant plants with different dates. Thus, you can enjoy your favorite vegetables for a long time, because most peppers are well stored. In a cold climate, of course, you can’t do without a greenhouse, so the early ones are preferable, the later ones may not have time to ripen.
Size and shape
This criterion is for those who use peppers in the culinary business or for decoration. For example, large, spherical fruits with thick walls are suitable for stuffing or salads.And for decoration, small fruits of an unusual shape are also suitable.
Seedling Care Rules
If there is no greenhouse or greenhouse, the seeds are sown in February, so that by May, before transplanting, they have reached development more than 95 days. Peppers do not particularly like picking, so it is better to sow them immediately in small peat pots. For seedlings, a loose substrate with such a calculation is suitable (2 parts of humus + 1 part of sand + 1 part of the earth). For 1 kg of this composition - 1 tbsp. l ash with a slide.
Seeds must first be treated in this way: keep in the water until the swelling in water +45 degrees. And before biting, keep them in a moist gauze cloth for 2 to 3 days in a warm room. After this procedure, you can get the first shoots in the first days after sowing.
Sown seeds after the first warm watering should be covered with a film. Do not shed them during the whole development. It is necessary to monitor the temperature during the day enough + 25 - + 28, and at night from + 11 - + 18. The air should not be dry, without drafts.
Before planting, seedlings, it will be useful to conduct hardening procedures, taking them to cool places, gradually increasing its length of stay there. The main thing is that it does not fall under freezing.
In the future, it is enough to water, tie and feed in a timely manner. For example, nettle infusion (part of nettle per 10 parts of water, left for 2–3 days) can serve as a good top dressing.
Although peppers are a thermophilic crop, they are grown on the open ground, and not only in greenhouses. And they, like other plants, need care, because proper, good care is the key to good yield and proper development of the plant.
Reviews
Lyudmila
For 2 years now I have been planting Kolobok, although the summer weather was not at all flighty, it still fruited and did not cause problems with diseases or pest attacks. I plant in a greenhouse and away from each other. I like its thick-walled and small number of seeds. I do not buy seeds, I collect my own, they all sprout. Good taste, I advise. Suitable for anything.
Larisa
I like Montero and Early Miracle. I collect a lot of them, which is enough for sale, for pickling and salads for breakfast. They are unpretentious, which suits me. Planted seedlings in warm soil, without exposing the roots, in high beds for better fruiting. Between the rows I plant corn as a barrier to their pollination. In heat, remove the lower shoots once a week.
Svetlana
I like The Gingerbread Man and Claudio. I mulch with fine straw and because of this I can water them once a week or more. I tie up. For prophylaxis from a bear, I fill the wells with a pinch of ash an hour before planting the seedlings. I collect 10 kg per 1 sq. Km. m. I freeze them for the winter, salt and a small part is eaten by children directly from the garden. I can safely recommend to all summer residents - amateurs!
