The best varieties of Dutch pepper

The demand for Dutch sweet pepper varieties among experienced gardeners is due to the guaranteed quality of the seeds, which means the ability to choose the right fruit taste, color, size, and even predict the yield.

Special attention should be paid to the resistance of plants to possible cold snaps while maintaining the ability to form ovaries of future fruits, as well as the degree of disease resistance. It is Dutch seeds that are the best choice among all available seed suppliers from abroad.

Popular varieties of Dutch pepper

The use of pepper in the diet allows you to saturate the body with important vitamin complexes and microelements. In particular, this applies to vitamin C, which is more in pepper than in any lemon or orange, a rare vitamin P, which promotes the absorption of other trace elements, lowers the level of harmful cholesterol in the blood and restores the elasticity of the vascular system of the body. Carotene, essential for immunity, is concentrated in pepper more than in any carrot, which means that pepper is necessary not only for dieting, but also in the children's menu.

Dutch peppers are among the few seed varieties that can be grown in changing climates and unpredictable weather. At the same time, you can always find options with an early ripening period, low compact bushes and a long fruiting period. An obligatory moment in the cultivation of Dutch varieties is careful germination of seeds before planting in the ground, careful processing of seedlings and proper care at the stage of fruit ripening.

Early bell pepper

The peculiarity of early varieties of pepper is the ability to start harvesting the first harvests in June. In this case, the sowing of seeds is carried out, as a rule, in the second half of February. Early maturing varieties of Dutch pepper are especially valuable for growing in cool climates and short summers. In this case, the resistance of pepper to low temperatures and its keeping quality, the possibility of transportation must be taken into account. The last two criteria are relevant when growing early varieties of pepper for the purpose of further sale.

Among the features of choosing suitable seeds, it is also important to consider:

• the possibility of growing in open ground or in greenhouses;
• the degree of disease resistance of the variety;
• the need for fertilization, watering and hilling.

An equally important point is the expected size and color of the fruit, as well as the average number of ovaries formed.

Pinocchio

The Pinocchio pepper variety is in particular demand among gardeners who grow fruits for further sale. This is due to the good keeping quality of the crop after the fall and the possibility of its long-term transportation without losing its attractive appearance. The second important advantage of the early variety concerns its simplicity in care. The Buratino variety can be grown on open ground, under a temporary film shelter, as well as in full-fledged greenhouses.

The growing season of the Buratino variety lasts about 88 - 100 days from the moment the first shoots appear. The height of the bushes often reaches 0.7 - 1.1 m, while only 2 - 3 main stems are formed. The bush turns out to be quite sprawling, therefore it requires space and careful tying to additional support. Side shoots pickling is not carried out. If the leaves of the bushes are small and dense, with a dark green color, then the fruits themselves, on the contrary, are large and weigh about 100 - 120 g. The length of ripe peppers is 16 - 17 cm, and the width is 7 - 8 cm. The shape of the fruits elongated conical. When fully ripe, the fruit has a deep red color and a sweet crunchy flesh with a thickness of about 5 - 6 mm.

The high yield of the variety allows you to collect about 10 - 12 kg of fruits from 1 square meter (from 5 - 8 bushes of pepper). Plants are quite resistant to tobacco mosaic viruses and apical rot diseases. To obtain optimal harvest results, it is necessary to germinate the seeds in advance, as well as provide the seedlings with adequate moisture and mineral fertilizers.

Eroshka

If the fruits of the pepper are distinguished by a bright orange-red color and large size at the stage of biological maturation, then the variety itself is in demand among gardeners, due to its resistance to cold weather. Average weight of pepper is 150 - 180 g. Fruits have a cuboid shape with a crispy pulp thickness of about 5 - 6 mm. The bushes are rather low, they grow only up to 40 - 50 cm, while from one plant you can get up to 12 - 16 fruits, which means about 2.5 - 3 kg of yield.

You can grow the Eroshka variety both in greenhouses and in the open field. Technical ripeness occurs 95 - 110 days from the moment the first shoots appear. In this case, the fruits are light green in color. For the full biological maturation of peppers, 120 - 130 days are required. On a plot of 1 square meter, you can plant about 10 - 12 plants at a distance of 15 - 20 cm. The use of fruits is universal, since they are suitable for fresh use, for the purpose of preparing salads, as well as for preservation for the winter.

The variety easily tolerates low air temperatures and retains the ability to form ovaries at least 12-14 degrees Celsius. At the same time, a prerequisite is sufficient watering with warm water, cleaning weeds and loosening the soil. Pepper is quite disease-resistant, therefore it is not afraid of damage by tobacco mosaic viruses, verticillosis and apical rot, which is manifested by brown spots on the leaves, stems and fruits of bushes. When growing in greenhouses, it is extremely important to ensure full ventilation of the premises and prevent stagnation of water in the soil, since the roots do not receive the necessary oxygen and begin to rot. Fruit ripening occurs quite amicably, therefore the variety has a simplified fruiting period.

Sweetie

The variety got its name due to the characteristic sweetness and small size of the bright red fruits. The average weight of a pepper is only 50 g. At the same time, about 1 - 1.5 kg of crop can be harvested from one bush. The characteristic sweetness and juiciness will certainly appeal to children, and the compact size of a low bush (up to 40 - 60 cm) allows you to grow peppers not only in a greenhouse, but also on windowsills, placing them in flower pots.

The variety belongs to the category of early ripening, so the first harvest can be harvested after 85 - 95 days for technical and 115 - 130 days for biological ripeness from the moment the first sprouts of seedlings appear. The thickness of the pulp is 6 - 7 mm, due to which it almost completely fills the inner container of the fruit. Sowing for seedlings is necessary in the first decade of March, and planting in permanent soil is carried out approximately at the end of May, when a pair of cotyledon leaves will form on the stems.

Of the mandatory care requirements, it is worth highlighting the choice of loose fertile soil, regular moderate watering of the plant and additional fertilization of the plants at the stage of flowering bushes.

Funtik

The Pound pepper variety is in demand among experienced gardeners, due to the high yield of the bushes and their unpretentious care. The height of a bush with dense green foliage often reaches 65 - 70 cm.At the same time, about 15 - 18 fruits with an average weight of 150 - 170 g can be harvested from one plant. The thickness of the sweet aromatic pulp is 6 - 7 mm, which determines its characteristic crunchiness and preservation taste.

The stage of technical ripeness of the variety begins on days 100 - 110, when the fruits acquire a rich green color. Biological maturation is indicated by the acquisition of a bright red color by the fruits, as a rule, 120 - 130 days from the moment of seed germination. The shape of the fruits themselves is similar to a flattened cone with a length of about 12 - 14 cm. Fruit ripening occurs in concert.

You can grow Funtik pepper on open ground (for regions with a predominantly warm climate) and in greenhouse conditions. It is recommended to plant seedlings no more than 5 plants per 1 sq. M.

The variety is resistant to verticillosis and tobacco mosaic viruses.At the same time, pepper may require additional protection from spider mites if there is not sufficient ventilation in the greenhouse, and prolonged drought changes sharply to too high humidity and stagnant water in the soil. In such cases, it is recommended to use a two-day infusion of celandine, for which you need to take 10 liters of water and 1 - 1.5 kg of fresh chopped grass. The first preventive spraying is carried out no earlier than 10 - 12 days after planting the seedlings on permanent soil. Re-processing is required after a week break.

Czardas

The peculiarity of the Chardash pepper variety is the ability to use the fruits at any stage of their ripening. At the same time, the variety itself has a high yield and allows you to collect about 9 - 10 kg of pepper from 1 square meter of land. The color of the pepper is usually yellow-orange, which gradually fades to orange-red. The average fruit weight is about 200 - 220 g.

If the technical ripening of fruits occurs on the 95th - 100th day, then the biological one - on the 115th - 125th day after the emergence of the first sprouts of seedlings. The shape of the fruit is cone-shaped with a length of up to 13 - 16 cm. The thickness of the pulp, as a rule, reaches 5 - 6 mm, which preserves its taste, juiciness and characteristic crunchiness at the same time. The bushes grow quite compact (up to 60 cm), which allows more economical use of areas with fertile soils. Planting 5 - 7 bushes is allowed per 1 square meter.

Harvest use is universal. It is suitable for fresh salads, as well as first and second courses. It is successfully used for canning vegetables for the winter.

Of the mandatory requirements for care, it is necessary to single out 2 - 3 top dressing of soils, compliance with moderate soil moisture (without the formation of stagnant water), as well as preventive protection against insect pests. In the latter case, fungicides are often used, which can be sprayed on the bushes no later than 2 weeks before the planned harvest.

An increased yield of bushes can be obtained if the cultivation begins with sowing seeds, and the seedlings themselves are hardened 2 - 2.5 weeks before planting in the ground by daily removal to the open fresh air with a gradual increase in time. At all stages of cultivation, warm, settled water with a temperature of at least 25 - 26 degrees should be used for irrigation.

Undersized pepper

The choice in favor of undersized varieties is due to the ability to grow peppers in compact greenhouse conditions without the obligatory garter. These varieties require less space and can be successfully grown outdoors under a temporary film cover. The second important point concerns the economical use of mineral fertilizers, as well as the optional pinching of lateral shoots to form 2 - 3 main stems.

In addition, undersized varieties tolerate drought much easier and recover faster during development after the onset of favorable conditions for further cultivation. This also applies to options with peppers for growing in regions with predominantly cold or very unpredictable climates.

Atlantic

If you comply with the minimum requirements for the care and cultivation of Atlantic pepper, you can get large tasty fruits of a rich red color. The shape of the fruit is prismatic, and the length can reach 17 - 18 cm. The average weight is 140 - 190 g. The characteristic crunchiness of the fruit is determined by the thickness of the fleshy aromatic pulp of 10 mm. At the same time, the peel of the fruit is extremely delicate and thin, with a natural glossy shine.

Important! The combination of beneficial trace elements and vitamins in Atlantic pepper allows it to be used as a prevention and treatment for diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. It also helps restore skin smoothness, strengthens hair and nails.

An important feature of the undersized Atlantik bushes is the requirement for sufficient daylight.That is why it is necessary to choose completely open areas without cold drafts. It is better to plant seedlings in a permanent place at the end of May or at the beginning of June, since the plant is quite thermophilic and may die from unexpected night frosts. At the time of planting, the seedlings should be at the age of 60 - 80 days (it is better to plan sowing in the second decade of March).

In order for the harvest of large Dutch fruits to please, the seeds must first be germinated using a damp cloth. In this case, the air temperature should be at least 26 - 29 degrees Celsius. Sprouted seeds are planted to a depth of 1 - 1.5 cm. It is better to use separate peat pots or plastic containers as containers for seedlings. Separate growing of seeds will eliminate the need for picking the root part of plants, which the variety tolerates extremely painfully.

Growing seedlings should be carried out in a bright room with a constant temperature regime of about 23 - 25 degrees Celsius. 2 - 2.5 weeks before the planned disembarkation, the seedlings must be taken out into fresh air and under the influence of direct sunlight. The procedure increases in time gradually, starting from 30 - 40 minutes. This will protect the plants from possible sunburn, and also strengthen the seedlings themselves. Fertilization of seedlings is carried out 2 weeks after germination.

In caring for the plants themselves in a permanent place of growth, more attention should be paid to the regularity of watering with warm water under the root of the bushes, timely loosening of the soil and careful fertilization of soils with mineral complexes before flowering begins. Plants will be protected from possible cold snaps by temporary film shelters. They are especially relevant in the first weeks after planting seedlings.

Gypsy

The Dutch hybrid Gypsy belongs to the category of super early and least fastidious plants in care. Fruit ripening occurs 60 - 65 days after planting seedlings on permanent soil. The fleshy flesh remains very crispy thanks to its 5 - 6 mm thickness. The second important advantage of the hybrid is the incredibly sweet, balanced taste of the fruit.

The cultivation of pepper can be carried out both in protected greenhouse conditions and in open ground. In the second case, planting of seedlings is carried out after the termination of the night frosts characteristic of spring. You can use the fruits fresh, for cooking, as well as as the main ingredient in canning, winter preparations in the form of lecho, as well as for ordinary freezing.

The technical ripening of the fruits is evidenced by their light yellow color, which eventually turns into a rich red. Since the hybrid has the property of very early ripening, the timing of sowing seeds must be strictly observed. If the planting of seedlings is planned at the end of May, then sowing is carried out not earlier than the third decade of February, but not later than the first half of March. Before sowing, the seeds are treated with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate (for 5 - 8 minutes). Then they must be rinsed with running water and slightly dried. Seeds should be placed to a depth of no more than 1 - 1.5 cm. At the same time, the distance between the holes should be at least 2 - 3 cm.

It is recommended to moisten the soil using a spray bottle and always warm settled water. The entire container is covered with transparent glass or foil. The temperature in a well-lit room should be kept at 23 - 25 degrees Celsius. As soon as shoots begin to appear on the surface (5 - 8 days after sowing), the additional cover is completely removed.

With the appearance of a pair of cotyledon leaves on the sprouts, the container is transferred to a room with a temperature of about 16 - 18 degrees Celsius. After planting on permanent soil, among the mandatory maintenance requirements, it is worth highlighting soil fertilization with mineral components:

1. One week after transplanting the seedlings to a permanent place.
2. 10 - 12 days after the first feeding using 2 - 3 tablespoons of wood ash per 1 - 1.5 liters of water. The infusion itself must be infused for 4 - 5 days, and then diluted with clean warm water in equal parts.
3. Before flowering bushes. In this case, it is best to fertilize during watering, directing the water to the root.

An equally important detail when growing Gypsy hybrids is the neutral level of soil acidity. To normalize it, you can use sifted wood ash or lime at the rate of 20 - 30 kg per 6 - 7 acres of land. All the soil must be dug up, so it is better to carry out the work in the fall.

The hybrid is early enough, so it is not afraid of damage by late blight, and also remains resistant to the manifestations of tobacco mosaic viruses.

California miracle

One of the favorite peppers with low and compact bushes among experienced gardeners is a Dutch variety called the California Miracle. It belongs to the category of mid-season plants and the first harvest can be expected as early as 100 - 130 days, starting from the moment the shoots appear.

If the minimum requirements for growing and care are met, you can expect to get large, bright red fruits with an average weight of about 130 g. The shape of the pepper is cuboid, the flesh is quite thick and juicy, 6 - 8 mm, which allows it to remain crispy. An important advantage of the variety concerns a long fruiting period, as well as the ability to independently collect seeds for sowing next year (with proper operation, the seeds are ready to provide 95 - 99 percent of germination).

The balanced sweet taste of the fruits allows them to be used fresh, as well as for stuffing and canning. The cuboid shape and dense peel ensures long shelf life of the pepper with the possibility of its long-term transportation.

To get a good harvest, the seeds must be treated with hot water before planting (soak in it until the seeds themselves begin to swell. The elongated seeds are laid out on damp gauze and covered with it. after that, they are planted in loose moist soil to a depth of no more than 1 - 1.5 cm. To minimize stress for the plant when picking the root part, the seeds should be planted at a distance of at least 3 cm or in separate small containers.

On a permanent site, the bushes are planted at a distance of at least 50 cm, which will allow you to gently huddle the plants, remove weeds and loosen the ground. Mulching will save the necessary soil moisture during hot summer days and prolonged drought - the root part is covered with a material that does not allow sunlight to pass through and does not allow moisture to evaporate from the soil. It is better to water the pepper in the late evening, so that the moisture is concentrated in the soil before the LLP, as it begins to evaporate under the influence of sunlight.

Sweet peppers are not recommended to be planted near bitter varieties, since unsuccessful pollination can give bitterness in the fruits themselves. The second important point concerns the planting of bushes in areas where there are no cold drafts.

Corvette

Experienced gardeners call the Corvette variety a real classic of fragrant sweet pepper. It is remembered for its bright orange color and medium-sized fleshy fruit. Low-growing bushes are unpretentious to care for, and the natural yield allows you to collect more than 10 - 12 peppers from the bush. The average weight is 60 - 80 g.

The growing season lasts approximately 105 to 110 days. The shape of the fruit is cone-shaped, elongated. The surface is smooth with a natural glossy overflow. Ripening of peppers occurs amicably. The fruits easily tolerate transportation and retain their original attractiveness for a long time, thanks to which they are successfully grown not only for food purposes, but also for further sale.

Fresh pepper is used for preparing salads, as well as first and second courses. Due to the dense skin, the fruits do not crack after heat treatment and can serve as the main ingredient in conservation for the winter. Since the variety has good immunity, the Corvette variety is not afraid of many viral diseases, for example, tobacco mosaic lesions, as well as fusarium, manifested by rotting of the root system and neck. For the treatment of foliage from insects, it is recommended to use fungicides, but all work should be carried out no later than two weeks before the first harvest.

Mirage

Low-growing bushes of Mirage peppers are ready to please the first with a bright and juicy harvest in 3 months from the moment the first shoots appear. Pepper can be grown both in greenhouse conditions and in open ground. At the same time, matured and hardened seedlings can be planted only after the termination of spring cold snaps, especially when it comes to night frosts.

The height of the bushes reaches only 30 - 45 cm, which allows growing fruits under a temporary film cover in the garden. At the same time, the fruits themselves are distinguished by a conical shape, inconspicuous ribbing and large sizes. In the process of ripening, the color of the fruit changes from a soft creamy combination to a rich red. The weight of the peppers is 140 - 160 g, and the thickness of the fleshy tasty pulp is about 6 - 10 mm. On one bush, about 5 - 8 large fruits can ripen at the same time.

Subject to the basic rules of cultivation and care, you can expect to receive a harvest of 5.5 - 6 kg per 1 sq. M. Since the fruits are distinguished by long keeping quality and tolerate long-term transportation quite easily, Mirage pepper is successfully grown, both for its own food use and for further sale.

Tamara

Hybrid Tamara is distinguished by increased productivity and resistance to fruiting at low temperatures. The hybrid belongs to the category of plants with an ultra early ripening period, since it is ready to bear fruit after 90 - 95 days from the moment the first shoots appear.

The demand among experienced gardeners is due to the dense and fleshy pulp, the thickness of which is about 7 - 8 mm. At the same time, the fruit itself remains crispy and tasty. The average weight of Tamara pepper is about 190 - 220 g. Fortified seedlings can be planted both in greenhouse conditions and on open ground after the night frosts have stopped. In the first case, it is important to take care of the full ventilation of the room, and in the second, about the absence of cold drafts.

The bushes themselves do not need to be tied to additional support and side shoots are pinned, which simplifies the process of leaving. Of the mandatory requirements, it is worth highlighting the regime of irrigation of the site with warm water, three times the introduction of mineral fertilizers and the timely loosening of the soil. The hybrid is quite resistant to many diseases, but you can lose part of the crop if you do not carry out regular weeding.

To grow seedlings, you need a bright room with a temperature regime of at least 23 - 25 degrees Celsius. Planting in a permanent place should be carried out as soon as the soil warms up to 14 - 16 degrees.

Long-fruiting sweet peppers

The peculiarity of long-term fruiting of pepper is relevant for gardeners who want to gradually harvest and delight their loved ones with fresh, bright and tasty fruits throughout July, August or September, depending on the ripening category of the varieties themselves. This option makes it possible to get more yield from the same number of seeds. At the same time, there are no special differences in growing seedlings and caring for bushes during fruiting.

Atlant

The sweet Dutch pepper variety has two important benefits.The first is the ability to get the first harvest by the end of June, and the second - in the increased content of vitamin C, which is very important for the younger generation. The growing season lasts about 130 - 140 days from the moment the first shoots appear. At the same time, technical maturity occurs already by 90 - 95 days. The fruits themselves are quite large and weigh about 110 - 170 g and from 1 square meter you can collect about 4 - 5 kg of juicy crunchy fruits. The special uniqueness of the Atlant variety is the ability to harvest twice during one season. For this, the first sowing of seeds is carried out at the beginning of March.

With regard to resistance to diseases and pests, the Atlant variety has good immunity against damage from apical rot and fusarium, manifested by rotting of the root system and neck. Homemade fungicides or infusions can be used to successfully combat insect pests. In the first case, it is important to take care of your own safety in advance, and to spray the bushes no later than 2 - 3 weeks before the first harvest. In the second case, the preparation of a soda solution is suitable (250 g of dry matter for 8 - 9 liters of water). The first spraying can be carried out no earlier than 10 - 12 days after planting the seedlings, and the mandatory re-treatment is carried out after a week break.

Among the recommendations for caring for plants, it is worth highlighting that the bushes can more easily tolerate a short drought than an excess and stagnation of moisture. In this case, watering must be carried out in the late evening and using warm water with a temperature of about 27 - 29 degrees. It is necessary to tie up the bushes at the stage of the appearance and growth of fruits in order to protect the bushes themselves from possible fractures. Humus, compost or bird droppings can be used as an autumn fertilizer for the soil. If the soil has high acidity, lime or sifted wood ash is added to it during digging.

Hercules

The Hercules variety is also distinguished by a long fruiting period. The bushes themselves are quite compact and low, about 50 cm. At the same time, the fruits grow in a rich red color and large, with a cuboid shape. The growing season takes about 100 days, and ripe fruits weigh about 200 g. Pepper can be used even from the moment of technical maturity, when the fruits have a dark green color. Already at this stage, the pulp has no bitterness and can be used both fresh and for culinary processing.

The density of the pulp is due to its thickness of about 6 - 7 mm, which allows the fruit to remain crispy and juicy at the same time. The Hercules variety is good for canning and is especially actively used for freezing. Due to the size of the fruits and the high yield of the variety itself, more than 3 kg of pepper can be harvested from one bush.

Despite the long fruiting period, the variety is resistant to Fusarium and apical rot. Caring for plants does not require any special skills and knowledge, but timely watering with warm water and regular loosening of the soil to supply the roots with oxygen are considered mandatory.

The variety can be grown both in greenhouse conditions and in open ground. For transplanting bushes to a permanent place, it is enough for the soil to warm up to 10 degrees Celsius. In the process of transplanting, it is important to maintain the vertical position of the root system, since the stem does not have the ability to form adventitious roots. Planting too deep can cause a lack of sunlight, and the root system can begin to rot.

The distance between the bushes should be at least 50 cm. In case of prolonged droughts and high air temperatures, it is recommended to mulch the soil near the bushes by laying an impermeable material. It is he who will not transmit sunlight to moisture, thereby preventing excessive evaporation of the remaining moisture.Timely weeding from weeds and loosening the soil will allow you to get the maximum yield even with a small number of planted seedlings.

Cockatoo

The Kakadu hybrid enjoys particular popularity among experienced gardeners due to the large size and usefulness of its fruits. At the same time, the bushes are distinguished by increased productivity, a long fruiting period and unpretentious care.

The weight of pepper fruits often reaches 400-500 g, and their length can be 20-27 cm. At the same time, the pulp remains firm and juicy, which ensures their characteristic crunchiness. When fully ripe, Kakadu peppers have a rich red color in their rind and flesh. The bushes are indeterminate and grow in height up to 1.5 m, therefore, they require timely and careful tying to an additional support. One bush can be harvested about 3.5 - 5 kg.

The growing season takes 105 - 110 days. Of the mandatory requirements, it is worth considering the thermophilicity of plants. Because of this, the Kakadu hybrid is more suitable for growing in greenhouses or outdoors in warm southern regions. A prerequisite for productivity is sufficient lighting, since due to a lack of sunlight, the bushes begin to fade, and the leaves turn yellow rapidly.

In addition to a large number of useful vitamins and minerals, pepper is distinguished by its fiber content, due to which it is actively used when following a diet, and is also suitable for preparing dishes from a children's menu. It is necessary to grow peppers from the seed sowing stage. This will allow the root system to more easily get used to the peculiarities of the soil and the general climate, and therefore provide a good harvest.

Of the mandatory requirements, one should single out the regularity of loosening the soil, which is carried out literally after each watering. It is recommended to plant bushes at a distance of at least 30 cm in the early morning or late evening. Immediately after planting, all the bushes are watered abundantly with water. The lack of sunlight will allow the root system to take in more nutrients before the moisture evaporates.

Cardinal

The Cardinal pepper hybrid is one of the few species whose seeds do not need to be soaked or treated in any way before sowing. The second important uniqueness concerns the bright purple color of technically ripe fruits, due to which pepper is used in the preparation of various dishes, as well as for their decoration. The stage of technical ripeness occurs within 86 - 97 days from the moment the first sprouts of seedlings appear. The fruits themselves have a cuboid shape and are about 9-10 cm long. Fully ripe fruits are distinguished by a rich red color.

The plant is difficult to tolerate the picking of the roots, so it is recommended to plant the seeds in separate small containers. It is better to grow bushes in closed, but well-ventilated greenhouses. The hybrid has a surprisingly balanced sweet taste and good resistance against most diseases. In particular, this applies to lesions by fusarium and tobacco mosaic. Sowing seeds is best done in early March, and the first pick is allowed if there are 2 - 3 full leaves.

Claudio

Pepper Claudio is characterized as a highly productive hybrid, which means that when growing it, you can count on a good harvest of fruits, the resistance of the bushes to most possible diseases, as well as the ability to form ovaries when unfavorable conditions occur.

The main feature of hybrids is the early ripening period, which lasts about 105 - 115 days. Fruits have a prismatic shape and average size with a weight of about 100 - 190 g. The thickness of the pulp is 6 - 8 mm, which perfectly preserves the balanced taste of the fruit, and also ensures their characteristic crunchiness. The plant reacts calmly enough to too high air temperatures, but may suffer due to the onset of sudden cold snaps.

In the process of leaving, special attention should be paid to timely and high-quality feeding of the bushes, which is carried out at least 2 - 3 times, late evening or very early watering of the site with warm water, as well as timely loosening of the soil to supply the roots with the necessary oxygen.

Greenhouse growing conditions are more suitable for the Claudio hybrid. An exception may be open ground in regions with a predominantly warm climate. In this case, the first few weeks, the planted seedlings are covered with a protective film at night.

Latino

Latino Pepper Hybrid belongs to the category of early maturing plants that have incredible resistance against most diseases and are ready to produce a good harvest if the minimum growing requirements are met. The growing season takes about 100 - 110 days from the moment of sowing seeds in the ground. Thanks to this, the seeds sown in March will be able to please with a good harvest in mid-June.

Large cuboid fruits are characterized by dense, fleshy flesh and its crunchiness. When growing healthy, mature seedlings, you can count on getting 15 - 17 kg of fruits from 1 square meter of land. Pepper seeds do not require prior processing, the first shoots should appear on the soil surface within 5 - 8 days after sowing. In order not to injure the plants with a painful pick of root systems, the seeds are initially laid out in separate containers.

It is necessary to plant sprouted seedlings on open ground in cloudy cool weather or in the late evening. For the first few days, the planted bushes should be protected from direct sunlight. The optimum temperature for sprouting peppers and ripening fruits is in the range of 23 - 27 degrees Celsius. When grown in a greenhouse, full ventilation of the room is necessary. The soil should be moderately moist, water and marshy formation.

To protect plants from aphid infestation, a two-day garlic infusion can be used, for the preparation of which you need 250 - 300 g of crushed garlic and 8 - 9 liters of water. The infusion is applied by spraying from a spray bottle. Re-processing is carried out necessarily with a week break.

The best varieties of hot peppers

The varieties of hot peppers, which are actively used in cooking and have long had their fans among true gourmets, are especially piquant. For their cultivation, it is necessary to take care in advance about the use of fertile land, its regular moderate moisture and sufficient lighting of the site itself. Special attention should be paid to the thermophilicity of this nightshade culture and the need to protect it from cold drafts.

Chilean heat

The hot pepper variety Chilean heat is a type of early maturing plant. The growing season, from the moment of germination of shoots to the stage of technical ripening of fruits, takes only 75 - 78 days. The optimal conditions for growing are open ground with the use of temporary film shelters.

In addition to the characteristic pungent taste, the grown fruits are distinguished by a bright red glossy shine, an elongated conical shape and a strong peppery aroma. Typically, pepper is used as a condiment to sauces, soups and meat dishes. Often, it becomes a must-have ingredient when preserving for the winter. The average length of one fruit is 15 - 20 cm.

It is recommended to grow hot peppers away from "sweet brethren", since unsuccessful pollination of flowers can lead to a change in the taste of both types of fruits. You can count on optimal yield when growing pepper on loamy air-permeable soils with regular irrigation and loosening of the soil. Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate for 25 - 30 minutes, and then dried a little on a paper towel. You can dive seedlings no earlier than a couple of full-fledged leaves are formed on the stems.Seedlings are planted on open ground at the age of 60 days. Feeding with mineral complexes is recommended at least once every 3-4 weeks. Watering should be carried out in the late evening and with the exclusive use of warm, settled water.

Hungarian Pepper

The main feature of the variety is its resistance to cold and retaining the ability to form ovaries under adverse weather conditions. Thanks to this, pepper is in demand among experienced gardeners and is grown in open fields. At the same time, undersized and compact hot peppers will bear fruit well when grown in greenhouses or even flowerpots on the windowsill of an apartment.

Low bushes grow up to 45 - 50 cm. At the same time, the average weight of fruits is about 40 - 60 g. The growing season lasts only 75 - 80 days until the stage of technical maturity and about 95 - 100 days for full ripening of pepper from the moment of its first shoots. At the first stage, the pepper has a light green color, which gradually turns into a rich red color.

Sowing seeds is recommended at the end of February or at the beginning of March. For growing seedlings, it is necessary to choose light rooms with a temperature regime of about 24 - 27 degrees Celsius. Plant picking is allowed only after the formation of 2 - 3 full-fledged leaves. During the last two weeks before planting on permanent soil, the seedlings are hardened by taking the container with plants to the open air. If in the first days the procedure lasts no more than 25 - 35 minutes, then with each new day the time spent on the street increases. Gradual habituation will relieve plants of the risk of severe sunburn.

Since the plant requires moderate soil moisture and low humidity of the air itself, watering with warm water must be carried out at the root and always in the late evening, after sunset.

Superchili

The variety of hot pepper Superchili belongs to the category of early maturing plants and is suitable for growing indoors, on windowsills. It can also be planted in greenhouses or outdoors using temporary cover films. The height of the bush, as a rule, reaches 60 cm, but at the same time it remains quite compact. The shape of the fruit is cone-shaped, elongated, with a characteristic slight bend. The length of ripe fruits is 6 - 7 cm, and the weight is only 25 - 30 g.

Hot peppers are actively used as a spicy seasoning, both for salads and hot dishes, and in the process of canning vegetables. The growing season lasts 90 - 100 days. In the process of ripening, the fruits change color from green to light orange, and with the beginning of the stage of biological maturity they become cherry red.

Reviews

Margarita Valerievna, 47 years old

A 0.3% hydrogen peroxide solution can be used to protect farmed peppers from attack by whitefly or apical rot. This requires 250 - 300 ml of the substance and 10 liters of pure water. The treatment of bushes is carried out by spraying the leaves and stems from a spray bottle. It is better to carry out the work itself in the late evening or very early in the morning, so that the solution has time to be absorbed before it evaporates under the influence of sunlight. The second spraying is mandatory, but after 7 - 10 days and with the preparation of a fresh mixture.

Vasily Ivanovich, 64 years old

Insect damage to leaves and stems is best done with chemicals. But when using them, it is important to first take care of your own safety and work, at least with rubber gloves. After that, it should be borne in mind that spraying the bushes should be carried out no later than two to three weeks before the planned harvest. This will prevent the ingress of toxic substances into the body when eating the fruits of the pepper themselves.

To protect the root system of the pepper, you can put garlic or onion husks in the hole when planting on permanent soil.

Did you know that bell pepper is recognized as the oldest vegetable cultivated by man? The first evidence of its cultivation dates back to VII thousand years BC. Initially, it was used as a medicine, and then it was "tasted" and began to be eaten. Despite the fact that this vegetable is most often called "bell pepper", in fact, America is its homeland. It came to Bulgaria only at the end of the 17th century, and from here it spread to Ukraine, Russia and Moldova. This culture propagates by seeds, from which pepper seedlings are grown for planting in open ground. If the seed is stored correctly, then it does not lose germination for up to four years. Seeds are germinated and this crop is grown at a temperature of 20 to 25 degrees.

Siberian format. Medium-sized bushes up to 70 cm high. Fruits are red, cuboid, weighing 350-500 grams, walls up to 1 cm, the taste is amazing.

Common diseases of bell pepper and methods of dealing with them

It is difficult to call a vegetable culture such as Bulgarian pepper unpretentious - growing it requires a lot of patience and care. It is necessary not only to organize the correct lighting, watering and feeding the seedlings, you also have to protect the plants from various diseases.

The most common diseases that sweet bell peppers are prone to include:

Blackleg. In affected seedlings, the root part of the stem darkens and rots, leading to the death of the plant. Infected seedlings are removed, the lesion is watered with copper sulfate (3% solution), or sprinkled with dry ash.

Gray rot. Bulgarian pepper often affects, you can see the photo below. Appears on leaves and fruits in the form of grayish spots, which after a while darken and become covered with spores. All affected parts of the plant are promptly removed, and the pepper itself is sprayed with fungicides.

In the photo, the top rot of pepper

Anthracnose. Brown light spots appear on the leaves of the shoots, which gradually expand, darken and acquire a brown rim. The stems rot and the leaves turn brown completely. The infected parts of the plant are removed, the seedlings are sprayed 2-3 times with fungicides (oxych, copper oxychloride, kuprxat, etc.).

VILT or fusarnous wilting. Leaves and apical shoots turn yellow, stick, the development of pepper stops. In this case, diseased plants are simply removed, and the soil is loosened, since the fungus is located in the soil.

Top rot. A small depressed spot appears on green fruits, then it grows, becomes dry and brown. Affected peppers turn color faster than healthy peppers, but remain dry. Top rot appears when the weather changes abruptly, irrigation is disturbed, or when there is a lack of calcium in the soil and an excess of nitrogen. It is necessary to establish moderate regular watering, and spray the plants with calcium chloride (0.3%).

Underdeveloped fruits (buttons). Strongly deformed fruits without seeds appear on the plant, you can define the "buttons" already during the flowering period - they are formed from wide, rough flowers that do not fall off for a long time. The reason for the appearance of "buttons" is dry air and low daytime temperatures.

Spotted wilting. The color of young leaves changes to bronze or dirty purple, after which brown spots appear along the leaf vein and on the shoots. Pale yellow, brown rings appear on green fruits, the top of the plant dies off. To fight, use a foundation, ripe peppers need to be plucked, and watering should be temporarily stopped.

To protect against common diseases, sweet pepper should be grown in accordance with the basic rules and recommendations of experienced vegetable growers.

Experiment with different varieties, take care of the vegetables planted in the ground, and lose your optimism - sweet peppers from your own beds are worth the effort!

The best sweet peppers to grow in different regions

Many dishes, when pepper is added to them, only benefit not only in terms of taste, but also in aesthetic appearance, because pepper comes in a variety of variegated colors. This very extraordinary plant with beautiful and healthy fruits (some varieties are just a storehouse of useful substances) has long been an integral part of cooking. Pepper fruits delight with a variety of tastes: sweet, sour, spicy, sweet and sour, etc., in total there are more than two thousand species of this culture. Originally from Central America, the plant has spread to all other continents, despite the fact that it often has to be grown in hotbeds and greenhouses, because pepper is good to grow in areas with very warm climates. This article will examine the best varieties of sweet peppers, also known as bell peppers, at different ripening times, suitable for growing in different regions.

Early

Let's start a review of the early species from those that are grown in temperate latitudes, that is, in the Moscow region, the European part of Russia, Belarus, and most of Ukraine. Here the climate is more suitable than in other regions, and accordingly there is a wider choice. High popularity of varieties Orange Miracle, Buratino, Rhapsody, Winnie the Pooh, Atlantic. Fidelio, Funtik, Eroshka are less common. Plants of these species, with constant good care, give high yields.

Surprisingly, early sweet peppers can be grown in Siberia as well.For this, a rather cold, and therefore poorly suitable region for growing heat-loving peppers, some varieties have been bred, in particular Kolobok and Topolin. the first of them is distinguished by significant compactness, and the second - by rather large fruits, the weight of which can reach 150 g.

If you can grow bell peppers in Siberia, then even more so in the Urals. The most common sweet peppers are Edino, which thrive in a wide range of climates, and Montero and Selvia, which are excellent in taste. Kudesnik, Barguzin, Sonata, Kubyshka are also suitable for growing in mountainous areas.

The North-West and the middle zone of Russia is not the most suitable territory for growing bell peppers, but you can grow a fairly good harvest even in greenhouses and panics. The selection of early varieties here, of course, is not large: Orange King, Golden Tamara, Prince of Silver.

Medium early

For the Moscow region and the same climatic conditions, the regions are characterized by: Belozerka, Bulgarian 79, Bouquet of the East, Californian miracle, Tolstosum, Donetsk early. Since there are plenty of them, this is certainly not the whole list. And breeders bring more and more new ones.

The most suitable variety for growing in Siberia is Victoria. It produces many small but juicy fruits. The peppers Marabou, Zaznoba, Violet Star of the East, which are also successfully grown in Siberia, are endowed with almost the same properties.

For the Urals, the same mid-early varieties are perfect as for Siberia - Zaznoba, Violet Star of the East. The Indian Elephant, Zhar Bird, Irina Sedek are also grown here. They form small fruits, but there are many of them on one bush, so the yield is satisfactory.

In the northwestern parts of Russia, you can try to grow varieties that are used in Siberia and the Urals, as well as Carlson, Golden Miracle, Babushkina Gryadka, Ruby stars. Moreover, they can be grown in the open field, although a large yield will be obtained in greenhouses.

Mid-season

Mid-season varieties are less popular than early and mid-early varieties. The reason is the lower yield, mainly due to the smaller size of the fruits, but in terms of taste, they are in no way inferior to the early ones. In the Moscow region, Belarus and Ukraine, preference is given to the varieties Bogatyr, Volzhanin, Golden Rain, Gift of Moldova, Red Knight, Aristotle, Spartacus.

The most popular for the Siberian region for a long time are the Swallow, the Firstborn of Siberia, in greenhouses you can also grow the Gift of Moldova, Bogatyr. Given the climatic conditions of Siberia, it is not surprising that the early crops are grown here more, from which, by the way, the harvest is greater.

In the Urals, among the mid-season, most are grown such as the Gambler and Alyosha Popovich. They produce fragrant red fruits with thick skin. To a lesser extent, the species Agapovsky, Zorka, Vityaz are widespread here.

For central Russia and its northwestern part, the choice is again small: only the varieties Volovye Ukho, Arsenal and Hercules showed good results. Therefore, gardeners from these regions are recommended to grow any of these three most suitable options.

Mid late

Mid-late varieties are practically not grown in Siberia, the Urals, north-west Russia. The main reason is all the same climatic conditions, because it is quite troublesome to harvest before the onset of cold weather. Gardeners enthusiasts, if necessary, grow them in greenhouses and greenhouses. But why put in the extra effort when the early and mid-early ones produce good results?

It is advisable to grow late varieties in warm regions in which suitable warm weather persists until mid-autumn. They are preferably grown outdoors, as they are not as demanding as the early ones, but yield equally impressive yields. The most suitable regions for late varieties are the southern parts of Russia and Ukraine.

Albatross, Garden Ring, Flamingo, Anastasia are grown here, hybrids Nochka, Paris, Lyudmila are in some demand. In Belarus, despite the more severe climatic conditions, gardeners also use medium late varieties. Figaro, Marathos, Vivaldi received good reviews.

Unsuitable climatic conditions, difficulties in care or other reasons often discourage gardeners who abandon the idea of ​​growing pepper. And in vain. After choosing the right variety for your region, then you will be happy to use the fruits of sweet peppers for your culinary masterpieces. And don't forget that breeders are constantly breeding new crops, so over time there will be a sufficient selection of bell peppers for any region.

February is coming soon - the time of sowing sweet peppers for seedlings. How correctly this is done depends not only on the size of the crop, but also on the resistance of plants to adverse weather conditions. How to grow a good harvest of sweet pepper?

I'll start with seedlings... Sweet pepper seeds are very "stubborn": sometimes you wait for seedlings for three weeks, or even more. Therefore, you have to sow pepper as early as possible, sometimes at the end of January. The peculiarities of growing sweet pepper are that it is a very thermophilic plant.

therefore one of the conditions for success: growing pepper seedlings in a city apartment on a warm windowsill

pepper is hard to transfer, but then it forms a more powerful root system and overtakes non-transplanted plants in development.

Before sowing, pepper seeds can be left in a wet cloth for 2-3 days. And another one of the secrets of growing sweet peppers... He is very touchy - he does not like to be rearranged from place to place or to pluck something or cut off on it. For this reason, I never form plants, do not stepchild them, and act carefully when transplanting, trying not to damage the roots.

Soak pepper seeds in epine and sow in a seedling container.

I take the soil ready (for tomatoes and peppers). Seeds usually germinate in 5-7 days. I spill it with potassium permanganate.

When the seedlings release the third true leaf, I dive (depth to cotyledonous leaves) into small cups, in which the seedlings grow up to the size of seven leaves. (I DO NOT DEEP SEEDLING.

Feed sweet pepper seedlings you must also be careful, otherwise you can burn young plants with abundant feeding. For this I use a very good liquid agent "Ideal" ((I feed Terra Lux-Lyudmila ..). And if you create warm comfortable conditions for the seedlings, then you don't need to feed the seedlings, the seedlings will delight you anyway.

Regularly in the morning, watering is carried out at small rates, excessive soil moisture causes a massive disease with black leg and root rot. The only feature is the obligatory solar hardening of the seedlings. Weeding and loosening are also required. Top dressing with mineral fertilizers is timed to the next watering.

The best period for planting bell peppers is the period In the first decade of June, when the danger of frost has passed, peppers can be planted in open ground. When planted on very hot days, the plants quickly lose their turgor and, touching the leaves to the very hot soil, dry out.

I plant peppers in ridges at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other and with distances between bushes in a row of 20-25 cm. Pepper belongs to the nightshade family. He has many common diseases and pests with tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes, which must be taken into account when choosing predecessors.

When choosing a place in the garden for peppers it is necessary to take into account the following features of this plant.

Pepper does not tolerate even partial shade at all. It should be in the sun from sunrise to sunset. He needs not only a lot of warmth, but also light. In addition, pepper does not like strong winds, especially drafts. ideal place for peppers - south side of the house, sheltered from the winds and giving additional reflected light.

Pepper does not tolerate cold soil. Therefore, if you are counting on a serious harvest, it is necessary to raise the beds at least 30-50 cm. Or provide subsoil heating. Many gardeners do not take this into account and if a failure happens, they blame the weather and the variety, and the seeds and everything else. And the reason may be quite commonplace - the soil is cold and too dense. This is especially true for clay-rich soils. When sweet peppers are planted in the garden, then I water them only with warm water heated in a greenhouse.

Stealing - removal of the lateral axillary shoots that have just begun to grow. Grasshopping is used on pepper to limit growth processes and mobilize plastic substances of plants for the formation of a crop. On pepper bushes, it is necessary to remove stepchildren and some of the upper flowers. (I DO NOT PEPPER)

pinching (removal of tops) When the pepper plant reaches a height of 20-25 cm, it is necessary to remove the top of the main stem - this forms a compact bush with well-developed lateral shoots. The pinched plants will branch out quickly. Of the many shoots that have appeared, only 4-5 upper (stepsons) are left, and the rest are removed. (LOOK AT THE PLANT.

I weed and loosen the aisles at least five times over the summer, occasionally I feed it: I spread cow dung and water it with slurry. I don't tie the bushes - I put them between the rows of the arc.Plants rely on them if there are many fruits. That's the whole care. (I dry up the bushes, one way or another) (I loosen 2 times per season, while the peppers are young, then I mulch everything with cut grass)

Be aware that peppers are highly pollinated. Therefore, never plant hot and sweet peppers nearby. - sweet will taste bitter. (TRUE NOTE)

it is better to place plants in open ground in pairs, separately one male and one female species.Such a strategy, believe us, will yield an excellent harvest. 20 pepper bushes are enough for a family of three

The main thing for sweet peppers is to create warmth for them.

Seedlings of peppers are planted with distances between ribbons of 2 lines (rows) - 80 cm, between lines - 50, between plants in a line - 15-17 cm (two-line ribbon method).

Planting care is as follows: weekly watering (400-450 m3 of water), loosening in rows and aisles, top dressing. The period from germination to fruiting is from 110 to 140 days.

Plant the Californian Miracle - you will definitely be with the harvest, plant it in the ground in mid-May, no later and under the covering material be sure (some kind of non-woven)

Sowing with Aunt Nyura;Boxes with soil prepared in the fall should be brought into the house two or three days before sowing so that the soil warms up. On the day of sowing seeds in the morning Baba Nyura pours hot water, but not boiling water, and in the evening starts sowing.

Sowing time. Sows in the evenings, focusing on the lunar calendar. Does nothing with the earth on a full moon. Tries to sow on the growing moon.

Care. After sowing, covers the boxes with cellophane and puts them in a dark place. As soon as weeds appear (there is no need to wait for the appearance of "loops"), the film is removed and the seedlings are exposed to light.

From various "parasites" - two-tails, etc. - saves seedlings in a proven old-fashioned way: in a box it makes four or five recesses, into each of which a drop of tar is dripped with a pipette and falls asleep.

The deepening should be such that the tar is not washed out when watering the seedlings. Aunt Nyura does the same in the greenhouse when the seedlings move there in May. He does not water the seedlings with anything but water.

For the first time it feeds after planting in the ground, watered with "Biomaster".

This fertilizer is especially good for acidic soil (and now it is probably acidic everywhere in our country). Has been using for many years and has no regrets

Triton

Always with a harvest of peppers

Pepper seeds before sowing for two days I soak in a solution of phytosporin (I spread it according to the instructions on the bag).

The planting should not be deeper than 2 cm and not smaller than 1 cm. With a deeper planting, the sprout will sprout for a long time or may not rise at all.

Sometimes gardeners make a big mistake when sowing - they overmoisten the soiland the seeds don't sprout. The sprout hatches, but dies due to lack of oxygen, it has nothing to breathe. In addition to moisture, the soil should also contain air.

After sowing the seeds, I water only lightly (1 teaspoon per cell) so as not to overmoisten... I cover the trays with foil and put them in a warm place. Then every day I open the film, I ventilate, I follow the shoots. They appear on the fourth or fifth day. When at least one loop appears, the trays are immediately placed in the light. Otherwise, if you wait for all the loops to appear, the first will stretch out the hypocotal knees and they will fall. I water every day with warm, settled water, 1 teaspoon per cell.

I water twice a week phytosporin (for a 3-liter jar of water - 1 teaspoon of the solution).

In the phase of 2-3 true leaves, I transplant the plant from the cells into half-liter milk cartons into a mixture of earth with vermiculite.

With such roots, the seedlings grow very quickly, besides twice a month I feed her: first time - gumi, second time - "Biomaster" or "Ideal".

I buy these vermicompost fertilizers in 3-liter canisters.

I feed in two weeks with complex feeding: chicken droppings, superphosphate, "Sudarushka".

I give four dressings until July, only each time I alternate superphosphate with diammophos.

And chicken droppings and "Sudarushka" in each feeding... And I also add herbal infusion to each dressing. In addition, for two weeks between complex dressings, I also make additional dressings with gumi, "Biomaster" or "Ideal", mostly foliar.

It is useless to feed in the second half of summer.

It happens that dark purple spots appear on the leaves and fruits of pepper. This means that the plant lacks phosphorus. In such cases, I do superphosphate extract: in 10 liters of hot water I dissolve 2 tablespoons of double or 4 tablespoons of simple superphosphate, put it for a day. The next day I pour the clear infusion into another bucket. I pour the sediment under the bushes by adding a little water. I bring the transparent infusion to 10 liters. Then I take 1 liter of infusion for 10 liters of water and water the bushes from a watering can over the leaves.

I do 3-4 of these feedings. You can combine them with humic preparations (Biomaster, Ideal).

In early August, I pluck out all the color, I will leave only the ovary. If you do not remove the flowers, then the set fruits will not grow large - they already have little warmth and the sun. I cut out stepchildren who have no ovaries. The remaining fruits receive more nutrition.

From the novelties of this season, we found the early maturing varieties attractive.

With this fertilizer I feed seedlings and vegetables and flowers .. Lyudmila. I Plant Atlant Myself. California Miracle. Health-Early. some other varieties are yellow.

The demand for Dutch sweet pepper varieties among experienced gardeners is due to the guaranteed quality of the seeds, which means the ability to choose the right fruit taste, color, size and even predict the yield.

Special attention should be paid to the resistance of plants to possible cold snaps while maintaining the ability to form ovaries of future fruits, as well as the degree of disease resistance. It is Dutch seeds that are the best choice among all available seed suppliers from abroad.

Popular varieties of Dutch pepper

The use of pepper in the diet allows you to saturate the body with important vitamin complexes and microelements. In particular, this applies to vitamin C, which is more in pepper than in any lemon or orange, a rare vitamin P, which promotes the absorption of other trace elements, lowers the level of harmful cholesterol in the blood and restores the elasticity of the vascular system of the body. Carotene, essential for immunity, is concentrated in pepper more than in any carrot, which means that pepper is necessary not only for dieting, but also in the children's menu.

Dutch peppers are among the few seed varieties that can be grown in changing climates and unpredictable weather. At the same time, you can always find options with an early ripening period, low compact bushes and a long fruiting period. An obligatory moment in the cultivation of Dutch varieties is careful germination of seeds before planting in the ground, careful processing of seedlings and proper care at the stage of fruit ripening.

Early bell pepper

The peculiarity of early varieties of pepper is the ability to start harvesting the first harvests in June. In this case, the sowing of seeds is carried out, as a rule, in the second half of February. Early maturing varieties of Dutch pepper are especially valuable for growing in cool climates and short summers. In this case, the resistance of pepper to low temperatures and its keeping quality, the possibility of transportation must be taken into account. The last two criteria are relevant when growing early varieties of pepper for the purpose of further sale.

Among the features of choosing suitable seeds, it is also important to consider:

• the possibility of growing in open ground or in greenhouses;
• the degree of disease resistance of the variety;
• the need for fertilization, watering and hilling.

An equally important point is the expected size and color of the fruit, as well as the average number of ovaries formed.

Pinocchio

The Pinocchio pepper variety is in particular demand among gardeners who grow fruits for further sale. This is due to the good keeping quality of the crop after the fall and the possibility of its long-term transportation without losing its attractive appearance. The second important advantage of the early variety concerns its simplicity in care. The Buratino variety can be grown on open ground, under a temporary film shelter, as well as in full-fledged greenhouses.

The growing season of the Buratino variety lasts about 88 - 100 days from the moment the first shoots appear. The height of the bushes often reaches 0.7 - 1.1 m, while only 2 - 3 main stems are formed. The bush turns out to be quite sprawling, therefore it requires space and careful tying to additional support. Side shoots pickling is not carried out. If the leaves of the bushes are small and dense, with a dark green color, then the fruits themselves, on the contrary, are large and weigh about 100 - 120 g. The length of ripe peppers is 16 - 17 cm, and the width is 7 - 8 cm. The shape of the fruits elongated conical. When fully ripe, the fruit has a deep red color and a sweet crunchy flesh with a thickness of about 5 - 6 mm.

The high yield of the variety allows you to collect about 10 - 12 kg of fruits from 1 square meter (from 5 - 8 bushes of pepper). Plants are quite resistant to tobacco mosaic viruses and apical rot diseases. To obtain optimal harvest results, it is necessary to germinate the seeds in advance, as well as provide the seedlings with adequate moisture and mineral fertilizers.

Eroshka

If the fruits of the pepper are distinguished by a bright orange-red color and large size at the stage of biological maturation, then the variety itself is in demand among gardeners, due to its resistance to cold weather. Average weight of pepper is 150 - 180 g. Fruits have a cuboid shape with a crispy pulp thickness of about 5 - 6 mm. The bushes are rather low, they grow only up to 40 - 50 cm, while from one plant you can get up to 12 - 16 fruits, which means about 2.5 - 3 kg of yield.

You can grow the Eroshka variety both in greenhouses and in the open field. Technical ripeness occurs 95 - 110 days from the moment the first shoots appear. In this case, the fruits are light green in color. For the full biological maturation of peppers, 120 - 130 days are required. On a plot of 1 square meter, you can plant about 10 - 12 plants at a distance of 15 - 20 cm. The use of fruits is universal, since they are suitable for fresh use, for the purpose of preparing salads, as well as for preservation for the winter.

The variety easily tolerates low air temperatures and retains the ability to form ovaries at least 12-14 degrees Celsius. At the same time, a prerequisite is sufficient watering with warm water, cleaning weeds and loosening the soil. Pepper is quite disease-resistant, therefore it is not afraid of damage by tobacco mosaic viruses, verticillosis and apical rot, which is manifested by brown spots on the leaves, stems and fruits of bushes. When growing in greenhouses, it is extremely important to ensure full ventilation of the premises and prevent stagnation of water in the soil, since the roots do not receive the necessary oxygen and begin to rot. Fruit ripening occurs quite amicably, therefore the variety has a simplified fruiting period.

Sweetie

The variety got its name due to the characteristic sweetness and small size of the bright red fruits. The average weight of a pepper is only 50 g. At the same time, about 1 - 1.5 kg of crop can be harvested from one bush. The characteristic sweetness and juiciness will certainly appeal to children, and the compact size of a low bush (up to 40 - 60 cm) allows you to grow peppers not only in a greenhouse, but also on windowsills, placing them in flower pots.

The variety belongs to the category of early ripening, so the first harvest can be harvested after 85 - 95 days for technical and 115 - 130 days for biological ripeness from the moment the first sprouts of seedlings appear.The thickness of the pulp is 6 - 7 mm, due to which it almost completely fills the inner container of the fruit. Sowing for seedlings is necessary in the first decade of March, and planting in permanent soil is carried out approximately at the end of May, when a pair of cotyledon leaves will form on the stems.

Of the mandatory care requirements, it is worth highlighting the choice of loose fertile soil, regular moderate watering of the plant and additional fertilization of the plants at the stage of flowering bushes.

Funtik

The Pound pepper variety is in demand among experienced gardeners, due to the high yield of the bushes and their unpretentious care. The height of a bush with dense green foliage often reaches 65 - 70 cm.At the same time, about 15 - 18 fruits with an average weight of 150 - 170 g can be harvested from one plant. The thickness of the sweet aromatic pulp is 6 - 7 mm, which determines its characteristic crunchiness and preservation taste.

The stage of technical ripeness of the variety begins on days 100 - 110, when the fruits acquire a rich green color. Biological maturation is indicated by the acquisition of a bright red color by the fruits, as a rule, 120 - 130 days from the moment of seed germination. The shape of the fruits themselves is similar to a flattened cone with a length of about 12 - 14 cm. Fruit ripening occurs in concert.

You can grow Funtik pepper on open ground (for regions with a predominantly warm climate) and in greenhouse conditions. It is recommended to plant seedlings no more than 5 plants per 1 sq. M.

The variety is resistant to verticillosis and tobacco mosaic viruses. At the same time, pepper may require additional protection from spider mites if there is not sufficient ventilation in the greenhouse, and prolonged drought changes sharply to too high humidity and stagnant water in the soil. In such cases, it is recommended to use a two-day infusion of celandine, for which you need to take 10 liters of water and 1 - 1.5 kg of fresh chopped grass. The first preventive spraying is carried out no earlier than 10 - 12 days after planting the seedlings on permanent soil. Re-processing is required after a week break.

Czardas

The peculiarity of the Chardash pepper variety is the ability to use the fruits at any stage of their ripening. At the same time, the variety itself has a high yield and allows you to collect about 9 - 10 kg of pepper from 1 square meter of land. The color of the pepper is usually yellow-orange, which gradually fades to orange-red. The average fruit weight is about 200 - 220 g.

If the technical ripening of fruits occurs on the 95th - 100th day, then the biological one - on the 115th - 125th day after the emergence of the first sprouts of seedlings. The shape of the fruit is cone-shaped with a length of up to 13 - 16 cm. The thickness of the pulp, as a rule, reaches 5 - 6 mm, which preserves its taste, juiciness and characteristic crunchiness at the same time. The bushes grow quite compact (up to 60 cm), which allows more economical use of areas with fertile soils. Planting 5 - 7 bushes is allowed per 1 square meter.

Harvest use is universal. It is suitable for fresh salads, as well as first and second courses. It is successfully used for canning vegetables for the winter.

Of the mandatory requirements for care, it is necessary to single out 2 - 3 top dressing of soils, compliance with moderate soil moisture (without the formation of stagnant water), as well as preventive protection against insect pests. In the latter case, fungicides are often used, which can be sprayed on the bushes no later than 2 weeks before the planned harvest.

An increased yield of bushes can be obtained if the cultivation begins with sowing seeds, and the seedlings themselves are hardened 2 - 2.5 weeks before planting in the ground by daily removal to the open fresh air with a gradual increase in time. At all stages of cultivation, warm, settled water with a temperature of at least 25 - 26 degrees should be used for irrigation.

Undersized pepper

The choice in favor of undersized varieties is due to the ability to grow peppers in compact greenhouse conditions without the obligatory garter. These varieties require less space and can be successfully grown outdoors under a temporary film cover. The second important point concerns the economical use of mineral fertilizers, as well as the optional pinching of lateral shoots to form 2 - 3 main stems.

In addition, undersized varieties tolerate drought much easier and recover faster during development after the onset of favorable conditions for further cultivation. This also applies to options with peppers for growing in regions with predominantly cold or very unpredictable climates.

Atlantic

If you comply with the minimum requirements for the care and cultivation of Atlantic pepper, you can get large tasty fruits of a rich red color. The shape of the fruit is prismatic, and the length can reach 17 - 18 cm. The average weight is 140 - 190 g. The characteristic crunchiness of the fruit is determined by the thickness of the fleshy aromatic pulp of 10 mm. At the same time, the peel of the fruit is extremely delicate and thin, with a natural glossy shine.

Important! The combination of beneficial trace elements and vitamins in Atlantic pepper allows it to be used as a prevention and treatment for diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. It also helps restore skin smoothness, strengthens hair and nails.

An important feature of the undersized Atlantik bushes is the requirement for sufficient daylight. That is why it is necessary to choose completely open areas without cold drafts. It is better to plant seedlings in a permanent place at the end of May or at the beginning of June, since the plant is quite thermophilic and may die from unexpected night frosts. At the time of planting, the seedlings should be at the age of 60 - 80 days (it is better to plan sowing in the second decade of March).

In order for the harvest of large Dutch fruits to please, the seeds must first be germinated using a damp cloth. In this case, the air temperature should be at least 26 - 29 degrees Celsius. Sprouted seeds are planted to a depth of 1 - 1.5 cm. It is better to use separate peat pots or plastic containers as containers for seedlings. Separate cultivation of seeds will eliminate the need for picking the root of the plants, which the variety tolerates extremely painfully.

Growing seedlings should be carried out in a bright room with a constant temperature regime of about 23 - 25 degrees Celsius. 2 - 2.5 weeks before the planned planting, the seedlings must be taken out to fresh air and under the influence of direct sunlight. The procedure increases in time gradually, starting from 30 to 40 minutes. This will protect the plants from possible sunburn, and will also strengthen the seedlings themselves. Fertilization of seedlings is carried out 2 weeks after germination.

In caring for the plants themselves in a permanent place of growth, more attention should be paid to the regularity of watering with warm water under the root of the bushes, timely loosening of the soil and careful fertilization of soils with mineral complexes before flowering begins. Plants will be protected from possible cold snaps by temporary film shelters. They are especially relevant in the first weeks after planting seedlings.

Gypsy

The Dutch hybrid Gypsy belongs to the category of super early and least fastidious plants in care. Fruit ripening occurs 60 - 65 days after planting seedlings on permanent soil. The fleshy flesh remains very crispy thanks to its 5 - 6 mm thickness. The second important advantage of the hybrid is the incredibly sweet, balanced taste of the fruit.

The cultivation of pepper can be carried out both in protected greenhouse conditions and in open ground. In the second case, planting of seedlings is carried out after the termination of the night frosts characteristic of spring.You can use the fruits fresh, for cooking, as well as as the main ingredient in canning, winter preparations in the form of lecho, as well as for ordinary freezing.

The technical ripening of the fruits is evidenced by their light yellow color, which eventually turns into a rich red. Since the hybrid has the property of very early ripening, the timing of sowing seeds must be strictly observed. If planting of seedlings is planned at the end of May, then sowing is carried out not earlier than the third decade of February, but not later than the first half of March. Before sowing, the seeds are treated with a light pink solution of potassium permanganate (for 5 - 8 minutes). Then they must be rinsed with running water and dried slightly. Seeds should be placed to a depth of no more than 1 - 1.5 cm, while the distance between the holes should be at least 2 - 3 cm.

It is recommended to moisten the soil using a spray bottle and always warm settled water. The entire container is covered with transparent glass or foil. The temperature in a well-lit room should be kept at 23 - 25 degrees Celsius. As soon as shoots begin to appear on the surface (5 - 8 days after sowing), the additional cover is completely removed.

With the appearance of a pair of cotyledon leaves on the sprouts, the container is transferred to a room with a temperature of about 16 - 18 degrees Celsius. After planting on permanent soil, among the mandatory maintenance requirements, it is worth highlighting soil fertilization with mineral components:

1. One week after transplanting the seedlings to a permanent place.
2. 10 - 12 days after the first feeding using 2 - 3 tablespoons of wood ash per 1 - 1.5 liters of water. The infusion itself must be infused for 4 - 5 days, and then diluted with clean warm water in equal parts.
3. Before flowering bushes. In this case, it is best to fertilize during watering, directing the water to the root.

An equally important detail when growing Gypsy hybrids is the neutral level of soil acidity. To normalize it, you can use sifted wood ash or lime at the rate of 20 - 30 kg per 6 - 7 acres of land. All the soil must be dug up, so it is better to carry out the work in the fall.

The hybrid is early enough, therefore it is not afraid of damage by late blight, and also remains resistant to the manifestations of tobacco mosaic viruses.

California miracle

One of the favorite peppers with low and compact bushes among experienced gardeners is a Dutch variety called the California Miracle. It belongs to the category of mid-season plants and the first harvest can be expected as early as 100 - 130 days, starting from the moment the shoots appear.

If the minimum requirements for growing and care are met, you can expect to get large, bright red fruits with an average weight of about 130 g. The shape of the pepper is cuboid, the flesh is quite thick and juicy, 6 - 8 mm, which allows it to remain crispy. An important advantage of the variety concerns a long fruiting period, as well as the ability to independently collect seeds for sowing next year (with proper operation, the seeds are ready to provide 95 - 99 percent of germination).

The balanced sweet taste of the fruits allows them to be used fresh, as well as for stuffing and canning. The cuboid shape and dense peel ensures long shelf life of the pepper with the possibility of its long-term transportation.

To get a good harvest, the seeds must be treated with hot water before planting (soak in it until the seeds themselves begin to swell. The stretched seeds are laid out on damp gauze and covered with it. after that, they are planted in loose moist soil to a depth of no more than 1 - 1.5 cm. To minimize stress for the plant when picking the root part, the seeds should be planted at a distance of at least 3 cm or in separate small containers.

On a permanent site, the bushes are planted at a distance of at least 50 cm, which will allow you to gently huddle the plants, remove weeds and loosen the ground. Mulching will save the necessary soil moisture during hot summer days and prolonged drought - the root part is covered with a material that does not allow sunlight to pass through and does not allow moisture to evaporate from the soil. It is better to water the pepper in the late evening, so that the moisture is concentrated in the soil before the LLP, as it begins to evaporate under the influence of sunlight.

Sweet peppers are not recommended to be planted near bitter varieties, since unsuccessful pollination can give bitterness in the fruits themselves. The second important point concerns the planting of bushes in areas where there are no cold drafts.

Corvette

Experienced gardeners call the Corvette variety a real classic of fragrant sweet pepper. It is remembered for its bright orange color and medium-sized fleshy fruit. Low-growing bushes are unpretentious to care for, and the natural yield allows you to collect more than 10 - 12 peppers from the bush. The average weight is 60 - 80 g.

The growing season lasts approximately 105 to 110 days. The shape of the fruit is cone-shaped, elongated. The surface is smooth with a natural glossy overflow. Ripening of peppers occurs amicably. The fruits easily tolerate transportation and retain their original attractiveness for a long time, due to which they are successfully grown not only for food purposes, but also for further sale.

Fresh pepper is used for preparing salads, as well as first and second courses. Due to the dense skin, the fruits do not crack after heat treatment and can serve as the main ingredient in conservation for the winter. Since the variety has good immunity, the Corvette variety is not afraid of many viral diseases, for example, tobacco mosaic lesions, as well as fusarium, manifested by rotting of the root system and neck. For the treatment of foliage from insects, it is recommended to use fungicides, but all work should be carried out no later than two weeks before the first harvest.

Mirage

Low-growing bushes of Mirage peppers are ready to please the first with a bright and juicy harvest in 3 months from the moment the first shoots appear. Pepper can be grown both in greenhouse conditions and in open ground. At the same time, matured and hardened seedlings can be planted only after the termination of spring cold snaps, especially when it comes to night frosts.

The height of the bushes reaches only 30 - 45 cm, which allows growing fruits under a temporary film cover in the garden. At the same time, the fruits themselves are distinguished by a conical shape, inconspicuous ribbing and large sizes. In the process of ripening, the color of the fruit changes from a soft creamy combination to a rich red. The weight of the peppers is 140 - 160 g, and the thickness of the fleshy tasty pulp is about 6 - 10 mm. On one bush, about 5 - 8 large fruits can ripen at the same time.

Subject to the basic rules of cultivation and care, you can expect to receive a harvest of 5.5 - 6 kg per 1 sq. M. Since the fruits are distinguished by a long keeping quality and tolerate long-term transportation quite easily, Mirage pepper is successfully grown, both for its own food use and for further sale.

Tamara

Hybrid Tamara is distinguished by increased productivity and resistance to fruiting at low temperatures. The hybrid belongs to the category of plants with an ultra early ripening period, since it is ready to bear fruit after 90 - 95 days from the moment the first shoots appear.

The demand among experienced gardeners is due to the dense and fleshy pulp, the thickness of which is about 7 - 8 mm. At the same time, the fruit itself remains crispy and tasty. The average weight of Tamara pepper is about 190 - 220 g. Fortified seedlings can be planted both in greenhouse conditions and on open ground after the night frosts have stopped.In the first case, it is important to take care of full ventilation of the room, and in the second, about the absence of cold drafts.

The bushes themselves do not need to be tied to additional support and side shoots are pinned, which simplifies the process of leaving. Of the mandatory requirements, it is worth highlighting the regime of irrigation of the site with warm water, three times the introduction of mineral fertilizers and the timely loosening of the soil. The hybrid is quite resistant to many diseases, but you can lose part of the crop if you do not carry out regular weeding.

To grow seedlings, you need a bright room with a temperature regime of at least 23 - 25 degrees Celsius. Planting in a permanent place should be carried out as soon as the soil warms up to 14 - 16 degrees.

Long-fruiting sweet peppers

The peculiarity of long-term fruiting of pepper is relevant for gardeners who want to gradually harvest and delight their loved ones with fresh, bright and tasty fruits throughout July, August or September, depending on the ripening category of the varieties themselves. This option makes it possible to get more yield from the same number of seeds. At the same time, there are no special differences in growing seedlings and caring for bushes during the fruiting process.

Atlant

The sweet Dutch pepper variety has two important benefits. The first is the ability to get the first harvest by the end of June, and the second - in the increased content of vitamin C, which is very important for the younger generation. The growing season lasts about 130 - 140 days from the moment the first shoots appear. At the same time, technical maturity occurs already by 90 - 95 days. The fruits themselves are quite large and weigh about 110 - 170 g and from 1 square meter you can collect about 4 - 5 kg of juicy crunchy fruits. The special uniqueness of the Atlant variety is the ability to harvest twice during one season. For this, the first sowing of seeds is carried out at the beginning of March.

With regard to resistance to diseases and pests, the Atlant variety has good immunity against damage to the top rot and fusarium, manifested by rotting of the root system and neck. Homemade fungicides or infusions can be used to successfully combat insect pests. In the first case, it is important to take care of your own safety in advance, and to spray the bushes no later than 2 - 3 weeks before the first harvest. In the second case, the preparation of a soda solution is suitable (250 g of dry matter for 8 - 9 liters of water). The first spraying can be carried out no earlier than 10 - 12 days after planting the seedlings, and a mandatory re-treatment is carried out after a week break.

Among the recommendations for caring for plants, it is worth highlighting that the bushes can more easily tolerate a short drought than an excess and stagnation of moisture. In this case, watering must be carried out in the late evening and using warm water with a temperature of about 27 - 29 degrees. It is necessary to tie up the bushes at the stage of the appearance and growth of fruits in order to protect the bushes themselves from possible fractures. Humus, compost or bird droppings can be used as an autumn fertilizer for the soil. If the soil has high acidity, lime or sifted wood ash is added to it during digging.

Hercules

The Hercules variety is also distinguished by a long fruiting period. The bushes themselves are quite compact and low, about 50 cm. At the same time, the fruits grow in a rich red color and large, with a cuboid shape. The growing season takes about 100 days, and ripe fruits weigh about 200 g. Peppers can be used even from the moment of technical maturity, when the fruits have a dark green color. Already at this stage, the pulp has no bitterness and can be used both fresh and for culinary processing.

The density of the pulp is due to its thickness of about 6 - 7 mm, which allows the fruit to remain crispy and juicy at the same time.The Hercules variety is good for canning and is especially actively used for freezing. Due to the size of the fruits and the high yield of the variety itself, more than 3 kg of pepper can be harvested from one bush.

Despite the long fruiting period, the variety is resistant to Fusarium and apical rot. Caring for plants does not require any special skills and knowledge, but timely watering with warm water and regular loosening of the soil to supply the roots with oxygen are considered mandatory.

The variety can be grown both in greenhouse conditions and in open ground. For transplanting bushes to a permanent place, it is enough for the soil to warm up to 10 degrees Celsius. In the process of transplanting, it is important to maintain the vertical position of the root system, since the stem does not have the ability to form adventitious roots. Planting too deep can cause a lack of sunlight, and the root system can begin to rot.

The distance between the bushes should be at least 50 cm. In case of prolonged droughts and high air temperatures, it is recommended to mulch the soil near the bushes by laying an impermeable material. It is he who will not transmit sunlight to moisture, thereby preventing excessive evaporation of the remaining moisture. Timely weeding and loosening of the soil will allow you to get the maximum yield even with a small number of planted seedlings.

Cockatoo

The Kakadu hybrid enjoys particular popularity among experienced gardeners, due to the large size and usefulness of its fruits. At the same time, the bushes are distinguished by increased productivity, a long fruiting period and unpretentious care.

The weight of pepper fruits often reaches 400-500 g, and their length can be 20-27 cm. At the same time, the pulp remains firm and juicy, which ensures their characteristic crunchiness. When fully ripe, Kakadu peppers have a rich, red rind and flesh. The bushes are indeterminate and grow in height up to 1.5 m, therefore, they require timely and careful tying to an additional support. One bush can be harvested about 3.5 - 5 kg.

The growing season takes 105 - 110 days. Of the mandatory requirements, it is worth considering the thermophilicity of plants. Because of this, the Kakadu hybrid is more suitable for growing in greenhouses or outdoors in warm southern regions. A prerequisite for yield is sufficient lighting, because due to a lack of sunlight, the bushes begin to fade, and the leaves turn yellow rapidly.

In addition to a large number of useful vitamins and trace elements, pepper is distinguished by its fiber content, due to which it is actively used when following a diet, and is also suitable for preparing dishes from a children's menu. It is necessary to grow peppers from the seed sowing stage. This will allow the root system to more easily get used to the characteristics of the soil and the general climate, which means it will provide a good harvest.

Of the mandatory requirements, one should single out the regularity of loosening the soil, which is carried out literally after each watering. It is recommended to plant bushes at a distance of at least 30 cm in the early morning or late evening. Immediately after planting, all the bushes are watered abundantly with water. The lack of sunlight will allow the root system to take in more nutrients before the moisture evaporates.

Cardinal

The Cardinal pepper hybrid is one of the few species whose seeds do not need to be soaked or treated in any way before sowing. The second important uniqueness concerns the bright purple color of technically ripe fruits, due to which pepper is used in the preparation of various dishes, as well as for their decoration. The stage of technical ripeness occurs within 86 - 97 days from the moment the first sprouts of seedlings appear. The fruits themselves have a cuboid shape and are about 9-10 cm long. Fully ripe fruits are distinguished by a rich red color.

The plant is difficult to tolerate the picking of the roots, so it is recommended to plant the seeds in separate small containers. It is better to grow bushes in closed, but well-ventilated greenhouses. The hybrid has a surprisingly balanced sweet taste and good resistance against most diseases. In particular, this applies to lesions by fusarium and tobacco mosaic. Sowing seeds is best done in early March, and the first pick is allowed if there are 2 - 3 full leaves.

Claudio

Pepper Claudio is characterized as a highly productive hybrid, which means that when it is grown, you can count on a good harvest of fruits, the resistance of the bushes to most possible diseases, as well as the ability to form ovaries when unfavorable conditions occur.

The main feature of hybrids is the early ripening period, which lasts about 105 - 115 days. Fruits have a prismatic shape and average size with a weight of about 100 - 190 g. The thickness of the pulp is 6 - 8 mm, which perfectly preserves the balanced taste of the fruit, and also ensures their characteristic crunchiness. The plant reacts calmly enough to too high air temperatures, but may suffer due to the onset of sudden cold snaps.

In the process of leaving, special attention should be paid to timely and high-quality feeding of the bushes, which is carried out at least 2 - 3 times, late evening or very early watering of the site with warm water, as well as timely loosening of the soil to supply the roots with the necessary oxygen.

Greenhouse growing conditions are more suitable for the Claudio hybrid. An exception may be open ground in regions with a predominantly warm climate. In this case, the first few weeks, the planted seedlings are covered with a protective film at night.

Latino

Latino Pepper Hybrid belongs to the category of early maturing plants that have incredible resistance against most diseases and are ready to produce a good harvest if the minimum growing requirements are met. The growing season takes about 100 - 110 days from the moment of sowing seeds in the ground. Thanks to this, the seeds sown in March will be able to please with a good harvest in mid-June.

Large cuboid fruits are characterized by dense, fleshy flesh and its crunchiness. When growing healthy, mature seedlings, you can count on getting 15 - 17 kg of fruits from 1 square meter of land. Pepper seeds do not require prior processing, the first shoots should appear on the soil surface within 5 - 8 days after sowing. In order not to injure the plants with a painful pick of root systems, the seeds are initially laid out in separate containers.

It is necessary to plant sprouted seedlings on open ground in cloudy cool weather or in the late evening. For the first few days, the planted bushes should be protected from direct sunlight. The optimum temperature for sprouting peppers and ripening fruits is in the range of 23 - 27 degrees Celsius. When grown in a greenhouse, a full ventilation of the room is necessary. The soil should be moderately moist, water and marshy formation.

To protect plants from aphid infestation, a two-day garlic infusion can be used, for the preparation of which you need 250 - 300 g of crushed garlic and 8 - 9 liters of water. The infusion is applied by spraying from a spray bottle. Re-processing is carried out necessarily with a week break.

The best varieties of hot peppers

The varieties of hot peppers, which are actively used in cooking and have long had their fans among true gourmets, are especially piquant. For their cultivation, it is necessary to take care in advance about the use of fertile land, its regular moderate moisture and sufficient lighting of the site itself. Special attention should be paid to the thermophilicity of this nightshade culture and the need to protect it from cold drafts.

Chilean heat

The hot pepper variety Chilean heat is a type of early maturing plant. The growing season, from the moment of germination of shoots to the stage of technical ripening of fruits, takes only 75 - 78 days. The optimal conditions for growing are open ground with the use of temporary film shelters.

In addition to the characteristic pungent taste, the grown fruits are distinguished by a bright red glossy shine, an elongated conical shape and a strong peppery aroma. Typically, pepper is used as a condiment to sauces, soups and meat dishes. Often, it becomes a must-have ingredient when preserving for the winter. The average length of one fruit is 15 - 20 cm.

It is recommended to grow hot peppers away from "sweet brethren", since unsuccessful pollination of flowers can lead to a change in the taste of both types of fruits. You can count on optimal yield when growing pepper on loamy air-permeable soils with regular irrigation and loosening of the soil. Before sowing, the seeds are soaked in a light pink solution of potassium permanganate for 25 - 30 minutes, and then dried a little on a paper towel. You can dive seedlings no earlier than a couple of full-fledged leaves are formed on the stems. Seedlings are planted on open ground at the age of 60 days. Feeding with mineral complexes is recommended at least once every 3-4 weeks. Watering should be carried out in the late evening and with the exclusive use of warm, settled water.

Hungarian Pepper

The main feature of the variety is its resistance to cold and retaining the ability to form ovaries under adverse weather conditions. Thanks to this, pepper is in demand among experienced gardeners and is grown in open fields. At the same time, undersized and compact hot peppers will bear fruit well when grown in greenhouses or even flowerpots on the windowsill of an apartment.

Low bushes grow up to 45 - 50 cm. At the same time, the average weight of fruits is about 40 - 60 g. The growing season lasts only 75 - 80 days until the stage of technical maturity and about 95 - 100 days for full ripening of pepper from the moment of its first shoots. At the first stage, the pepper has a light green color, which gradually turns into a rich red color.

Sowing seeds is recommended at the end of February or at the beginning of March. For growing seedlings, it is necessary to choose light rooms with a temperature regime of about 24 - 27 degrees Celsius. Plant picking is allowed only after the formation of 2 - 3 full-fledged leaves. During the last two weeks before planting on permanent soil, the seedlings are hardened by taking the container with plants to the open air. If in the first days the procedure lasts no more than 25 - 35 minutes, then with each new day the time spent on the street increases. Gradual habituation will relieve plants of the risk of severe sunburn.

Since the plant requires moderate soil moisture and low humidity of the air itself, watering with warm water must be carried out at the root and always in the late evening, after sunset.

Superchili

The variety of hot pepper Superchili belongs to the category of early maturing plants and is suitable for growing indoors, on windowsills. It can also be planted in greenhouses or outdoors using temporary cover films. The height of the bush, as a rule, reaches 60 cm, but at the same time it remains quite compact. The shape of the fruit is cone-shaped, elongated, with a characteristic slight bend. The length of ripe fruits is 6 - 7 cm, and the weight is only 25 - 30 g.

Hot peppers are actively used as a spicy seasoning, both for salads and hot dishes, and in the process of canning vegetables. The growing season lasts 90 - 100 days. In the process of ripening, the fruits change color from green to light orange, and with the beginning of the stage of biological maturity they become cherry red.

Reviews

Margarita Valerievna, 47 years old

A 0.3% hydrogen peroxide solution can be used to protect farmed peppers from attack by whitefly or apical rot. This requires 250 - 300 ml of the substance and 10 liters of pure water. The treatment of bushes is carried out by spraying the leaves and stems from a spray bottle. It is better to carry out the work itself in the late evening or very early in the morning, so that the solution has time to be absorbed before it evaporates under the influence of sunlight. The second spraying is mandatory, but after 7 - 10 days and with the preparation of a fresh mixture.

Vasily Ivanovich, 64 years old

Chemicals are the best remedy for insect damage to leaves and stems. But when using them, it is important to first take care of your own safety and work, at least with rubber gloves. After that, it should be borne in mind that spraying the bushes should be carried out no later than two to three weeks before the planned harvest. This will prevent the ingress of toxic substances into the body when eating the fruits of the pepper themselves.

To protect the root system of the pepper, you can put garlic or onion husks in the hole when planting on permanent soil.

Did you know that bell pepper is recognized as the oldest vegetable cultivated by man? The first evidence of its cultivation dates back to VII thousand years BC. Initially, it was used as a medicine, and then it was "tasted" and began to be eaten. Despite the fact that this vegetable is most often called "bell pepper", in fact, America is its homeland. It came to Bulgaria only at the end of the 17th century, and from here it spread to Ukraine, Russia and Moldova. This culture propagates by seeds, from which pepper seedlings are grown for planting in open ground. If the seed is stored correctly, then it does not lose germination for up to four years. Seeds are germinated and this crop is grown at a temperature of 20 to 25 degrees.

Siberian format. Medium-sized bushes up to 70 cm high. Fruits are red, cuboid, weighing 350-500 grams, walls up to 1 cm, the taste is amazing.

Agrofirms that are engaged in the development of new varieties of pepper and seeds, such as Gavrish, SeDek, recommend planting not varieties, but hybrids of pepper.

What is the difference between a hybrid and a cultivar?

The variety is the result of selection. All his genes, the same and like two peas in a pod, are similar to their parents. The variety is selected and adapted to a specific climate and place. When pollinated, it produces seeds of the same variety. You can get seeds from the variety. For this, the most characteristic and best fruits are selected from the most developed bushes.

A hybrid is the result of crossing. The effect is obtained by a certain combination of parents. Hybrids are far superior to their parents in terms of growth and yield, sometimes showing very unique properties. But it is impossible to get seeds from them, most often they will look like unremarkable grandparents.

It is very simple to distinguish a pepper variety from a hybrid. The hybrid bag will say F1. This means that it is a hybrid in the first generation.

California miracle

If you still decide to plant exactly the varieties of sweet peppers, then this may be a California miracle. Early pepper, 100-130 days pass from the emergence of seedlings to technical ripeness. The plant is determinant. Bears fruit for a long time, the fruits are large, cuboid, thick-skinned (wall thickness 6-7 mm) and fragrant. Peppers grow weighing 80-130 g. From this variety you can get seeds, germination rate is 100% and you will have your best varieties of sweet peppers. Can be used fresh and canned.

What they say about pepper California miracle reviews:

• I studied for a very long time which seeds are better to buy for our middle lane lands. Not all sprout or die during night frosts. I opted for two varieties, one of which was the "Californian miracle". The germination of pepper did not produce any special emotions, everything went as usual, maybe a little more water is required at the stage of the appearance of the first flowers than ordinary seedlings. But at the landing stage, everything went much better than usual. Out of 10 planted plants, 9 have taken root in the ground (this is when you consider that I used special soil for seedlings, which, in general, is wrong) 9 pieces. The tenth also resisted for a long time, but my fault was not to look after him. Then everything went like clockwork, in the sense of like pepper. Leaves, beautiful flowering and fruit. I was very pleased with the taste of the fruit: sweet, aromatic, pleasant. Ideal for all kinds of workpieces. Already winter has passed almost, and pepper still pleases with its presence on the table at dinner, it turned out a lot! I advise everyone to pepper Californian miracle _ this is an excellent Bulgarian pepper variety for central Russia, it takes root well and bears fruit well! The fruits are strong, tasty, and grow abundantly! Have a nice garden to everyone!
• For many years she has been growing the "California Miracle" pepper. This reliable variety produced yields even outdoors in Siberia. This is a fruitful sweet pepper variety for Siberia. One drawback: the thinness of the fruit, but apparently this is due to the lack of sunny days and warmth.
• My first peppers, Volovye's ear, grew in length up to 40 cm. Then they began to shrink, to about 8 - 12 cm, but the first ones just hit me. Delicious and aromatic!

Pepper claudio F1 reviews of gardeners:

It turned out rather late, I did not blush for a very long time. But perhaps because of the cold, rainy summer. Grew up in open ground, without shelter. She covered it only in August, so that the fruits would turn red faster. I liked the taste - sweet, juicy. The wall thickness was 8-10 mm. The fruits were all the same size, but small on the bush. Perhaps in a greenhouse or in the exhaust gas under normal weather conditions it would have performed better. Germination rate is 100% - from 5 seeds all five germinated. I'm a beginner. Planted pepper seeds variety Claudio F1 (Holland) written supernova 2010 50 pieces 12.02. ascended 19.02 all to one, stand like soldiers, handsome (ugh, ugh).

Review of the best early sweet peppers

Among the modern variety on the seed market, you can pick up a wide variety of sweet peppers, which will differ not only in color, size, taste and aroma, but also in terms of fruiting and growth patterns. Since the ripening period for this plant is longer than the duration of the warm summer period, most gardeners, both amateurs and professionals, plant mainly super-early and early varieties of sweet peppers.

What is better hybrid or variety?

A variety is a selection result. It was initially selected and adapted to certain climatic conditions and zoned by area. When pollinated, the seeds give a similar variety, with the same taste and external characteristics. It is from these peppers that you can collect seeds. For this, the best and characteristic fruits of the selected variety are selected, from the most vigorous, developed bushes. As a rule, the amateur gardener seeks to harvest more crops with less effort and time. Therefore, specially bred domestic varieties are much better adapted to the conditions of Russia and Ukraine than foreign ones. In order to compensate for the cold weather for the plant in spring and too dry in summer, it takes a lot of effort, and hybrid varieties will not become indigenous in the coming decades. In addition, it should be borne in mind that plants planted in open ground, even with good and proper care, give a much lower yield than the same varieties planted in a greenhouse.

Hybrids are the result of crossing. Marked on the packaging with the letter F1. They are distinguished by a higher yield, size, appearance and taste characteristics of fruits, compactness of bushes, which greatly facilitates care, and high resistance to many common diseases and pests. However, hybrids require higher and better agricultural technology. At the same time, seeds are not harvested from them, since plants grown from harvested seeds will not have similar genetics. Therefore, each season, planting material must be purchased again, and the market value for hybrid seeds is always high.

The most successful early varieties

One of the most common early sweet peppers. It is characterized by low standard bushes. Fruits are medium or small, weighing up to 100-115 g, golden-white or pale green, sometimes with a pinkish tinge. Conical, elongated shape. Wall thickness 5-7 mm. They have a pleasant sweetish-watery taste, unexpressed aroma. This variety is very popular with farmers, and it is Lumina that is most often found on store shelves, since it is not whimsical to the soil, not demanding in care and gives a crop even in dry summers with poor watering. However, in this case, the pepper can acquire a bitter, pungent taste. Ripe fruits under suitable conditions can be stored for up to 2.5-3.5 months without losing their commercial appearance, and are well transported. The market value is quite low.

Also one of the popular early varieties developed in recent years. The first fruits reach technical ripeness already on the 103-112th day after the emergence of gatherings. They do not yet have the full flavor and aroma of fully ripened peppers, but they are still edible. At this stage, they are white or cream colored. Full biological ripeness occurs on the 128-139th day. The fruits are light red, orange or red. Medium, weighing up to 110-130 g, cone-shaped, elongated, narrow in shape. Wall thickness 6-9 mm. Inside, they are divided into 3-4 chambers by partitions, with a large number of seeds.

The bushes are compact, half-stemmed, of medium height. It is not necessary to form them on purpose, it is convenient to collect and process the plant. Ivanhoe is resistant to many diseases, however, in a cool, lingering spring or hot, dry summer, it can give a very low yield.The variety is ideal for growing in greenhouse conditions, with proper care you can harvest 7-8 kg per sq m.

This variety, bred in Dnepropetrovsk, is distinguished by its high resistance to bad weather conditions and a guaranteed high yield. Thanks to this, almost all gardeners choose it. Due to the abundant fruiting, more than 12-15 fruits per bush, the plant must be tied to a support. The bushes are medium-sized, 60-75 cm high. Fruits are medium-sized, weighing 160-195 g, with sufficient care they can reach 220-250 g. The shape is narrow, conical, elongated, slightly curved. Ripe peppers are even, dark red or cherry in color. They have good sweet taste, pleasant smell and high market value. The pulp is juicy, crispy, but the wall thickness is not the same, in the upper part 10-13 mm, closer to the stalk - 6-8 mm. They are transported well, but they are stored for a relatively short time - 1.5-2 months.

This super early variety, like the previous one, tolerates adverse weather conditions well. Suitable for cultivation in the southern regions of Siberia. Calmly tolerates a drop in temperature and prolonged rains. Differs in high productivity. Fruits are medium or small, weighing 120-140 g, however, up to 35-45 fruits can be tied on one bush. The shape is conical, slightly rounded, the wall thickness is 5-7 mm. Ripe peppers of yellow, orange or red colors, with a pronounced aroma and sweet taste.

To get a larger harvest, after planting, it is necessary to remove the first ovary, otherwise the development of the bush is inhibited, and the possible number of fruits decreases.

Large-fruited hybrid, early ripening. Bushes are tall, 85-105 cm tall. The fruits are very large, fleshy, weighing 350-450 g, elongated, barrel-shaped. Suitable for both greenhouse and open field cultivation. Has a high resistance to many diseases.

How to choose a variety?

When choosing a variety, one should focus not only on the appearance and size of the fruits, but first of all on the growing condition - greenhouse or open ground. Since not all varieties that give an excellent harvest in a greenhouse or film shelter develop and bear fruit in the same way in the open field. Information about this, as a rule, is indicated on the package with the seeds.

Plants also differ in terms of ripening. There are late, mid-early, early and super-early varieties. If you plant several bushes with different ripening periods on the site, you can constantly have freshly picked fruits. In addition, some late varieties can be potted and grown at home. At the same time, they are capable of bearing fruit until mid-winter.

Pay attention to the compactness and height of the bushes. This is especially true in cases where the landing area is limited or the height of the film tunnel shelter is small. In this case, preference should be given to low-growing plants.

In order not to waste extra time and money on chemical treatment of bushes, you need to choose highly disease-resistant varieties and hybrids. Today, peppers have been bred that have good resistance to bad weather conditions, which can bear fruit well both in drought and rainy, cool weather. In addition, different varieties need different light conditions. And if the pepper is not grown in a well-equipped greenhouse, it is worth paying attention to the zoning of the plant.

Early varieties of sweet peppers

In the conditions of a short summer and a lack of light and heat, summer residents simply need super-early and early varieties of sweet peppers. As a rule, these are undersized and unpretentious plants, the fruits of which, thanks to the efforts of breeders, are not dry and herbaceous, but quite juicy and sweet.So, let's quickly find out what varieties and hybrids of sweet peppers need to be planted in their areas in the coming season.

New varieties of sweet peppers photos

In the mail that I receive, there are a lot of letters from gardeners who have grown foreign hybrids over the past years and have lost hope of getting a worthwhile harvest: they follow all agrotechnical methods, but the pepper fails - then there is no ovary at all, then there is a lot of it, but it crumbles ... And it so happens that the bush is good, and there are 2-3 fruits on it. It is to these gardeners that my material is addressed, which is the answer to the most typical questions.

So, pepper seeds. Now many people are fond of Dutch pepper varieties and hybrids. However, they require a special cultivation technology, they need a high agricultural background and the level of mineral nutrition. Only in this case all their advantages are manifested. Therefore, those who give preference to varieties created by breeders for our conditions and opportunities do the right thing.

Pepper varieties, as a rule, are less whimsical, resistant to many diseases. Moreover, they are constantly being improved.

Everyone knows grade of pepper Gift of Moldova. has already faded into the background - “the above-mentioned varieties of selection of the Pridnestrovian economy have a number of advantages over their older brother.These hardy varieties give an excellent harvest without film shelters throughout the entire territory of Ukraine. And what a high demand for white-fruited peppers in technical ripeness varieties of peppers Venti, Duet, Lumina.

It is known that germination of pepper seeds low: according to our data, even elite seeds have no more than 80 percent of germination, and of the second class - even less (up to 60%). Seeds of two to four years old germinate well, later ones are worse. Therefore, we must try to acquire pepper seeds in a safe place and in such quantities, And so that there is a margin for germination.

We must hurry to sow seeds for seedlings. The fact is that early sowing of pepper varieties does not always justify itself, especially if the seedlings grow in an apartment where there is no additional lighting or forced ventilation. In this case, the seedlings often stretch out, and sometimes even bloom. There is nothing to be happy about: such seedlings take root longer and more painfully, as it requires additional energy.

Of course, if you have a heated winter greenhouse, and pepper seedlings are grown with lighting, you can sow seeds in mid-February. But if you are going to grow peppers in the open field, then do not rush to sow seeds for seedlings.

How, then, to determine the timing of sowing pepper seeds for seedlings?

Strong seedlings with buds usually grows in early and middle varieties of pepper in 45 days, in late ones - in 60. Add to these figures another 15 days from sowing to germination and it turns out that you need to sow early and middle peppers 60 days before transplanting into open ground , and late - for 75. So, if we plant seedlings of peppers in early June, then we sow seeds of early and medium varieties of pepper in early March, and late - in mid-February.

Seedlings can be grown with or without a pick (picking delays the development of plants by almost two weeks). If you want to grow seedlings without picking, plant pepper seeds at a distance of at least 10 cm from each other. Of no small importance is also selection of a site for growing pepper. The best predecessors are cucumbers, onions, cabbage.

The site must be protected from the wind. Pepper loves warmth and light. The best temperatures for him: during the day, in sunny weather - 24-28 degrees, in cloudy - 22-24, at night - 18-20 degrees. The optimum soil temperature should be at least 18-20 degrees. At 20 degrees during the day, the peppers begin to rot. at 13-15, the growth of bushes is delayed, below 10, it stops altogether. Pepper dies even at short-term zero temperatures. Therefore, in an unstable summer, it is best to cover the beds with pepper with foil.

The whole variety of pepper does not withstand the heat. At 30 degrees, the pollen becomes unviable, and the flowers fall off. Therefore, on hot days, light shading should be installed over the beds.

When small fruits appear on the plants, it is necessary to feed the plants with a solution of fermented bird droppings (1:10) or slurry (1: 5). After feeding the plant, it is imperative to water and loosen the soil.

Peppers are very demanding to watering: even with short-term drying, the leaves fall. Since the roots are close to the surface, watering should be done in small portions, but often. It is best to do this in the morning, in the grooves, do not irrigate the bushes with flowers, because with high humidity, pollination does not occur, and, therefore, the fruits of the peppers are not tied.

At the end of August, a month before the end of the growing season, it is best to pinch the main points of growth and new ovaries to allow the already formed fruits to ripen.

Why do flowers fall on peppers?

The main reasons are: low nighttime temperatures; plants grow too quickly and they lack nutrition; the humidity of the soil and air dropped sharply; the root system is damaged when loosening the beds.

Why did the plants have deformed fruits? They are cold both night and day. The soil is acidified by excessive watering. Excessive nitrogen or poor lighting.Sometimes growths appear inside the fruits - they grow out. This is a consequence of flowering at low temperatures. If cracks appear on the fruits, it means that there were irregular watering during fruiting.

A decrease in yield may be due to irregular harvesting of fruits. It is best to harvest the fruits at the stage of technical ripeness ((35-45 days after flowering), and not keep them for another month before biological ripeness.

Dutch-bred hybrid pepper varieties have always attracted the attention of summer residents and gardeners with their characteristics and features. It is no secret that such varieties are distinguished by increased productivity, high resistance to various viral diseases and stressful environmental conditions. Pepper Gemini F1, the description of which is presented in this review, refers to just such. The seeds are produced by a division of Bayer called Nunhems. The agrofirm has an excellent reputation in the world, its products are known in many countries, and are chosen not only by amateur vegetable growers, but also by professional farmers. From English, the name of the variety is translated as "twins", apparently hinting at the uniformity of the crop: their size, shape and color.

On the Russian market, Gemini F1 seeds can be bought in packages from Prestige, Urozhay U Dacha, Poisk; they are also available in many online stores. Buyers should be careful when buying and notice how many seeds are in the bag. Since planting material is quite expensive, a package can contain from 5 to 25 seeds, there are also professional packages of 500 and 1000 pieces.

Pepper Gemini F1: reviews and advice on agricultural cultivation techniques

Sowing seeds for growing seedlings is carried out in early March, in more southern zones it is possible earlier - in mid-February. Planting depth is about 1 cm. Seeds of Dzhemeni F1 do not require additional processing and disinfection. Seedlings of Dutch varieties, while maintaining an air temperature of 22 -27 ° C, appear in two weeks. Seedlings of peppers tolerate a lack of light better than tomatoes, do not stretch, but, nevertheless, 12-hour daylight hours in the first month of development will not interfere with it. It is also necessary to maintain high air humidity and make sure that the ground does not dry out. Also, on the other hand, it is also not worth pouring the plants, since the seedlings can get sick with root rot. Watering is done only with warm water.

The Gemini variety is distinguished by the compactness of bushes growing about 60 cm high.The planting scheme proposed by breeders: the distance between plants is 50 - 60 cm, between rows at least 40 cm. legumes, cabbage or cucumbers grew. The soil should be light, loose and have good water permeability. Such conditions provide good prerequisites for the survival of seedlings. The soil temperature for planting seedlings in the ground must be at least 15 ° C, and the threat of frost has already passed. Bushes with 5 - 6 leaves and a height of at least 15 - 20 cm are planted on the beds.

Professional vegetable growers recommend the use of mulch, which prevents water imbalance, suppresses the growth of weeds, which has a positive effect on the development of peppers and accelerates the ripening of fruits.

Seed producers in the description of the variety indicate directly the gigantic size of the fruits, therefore, in order to obtain the appropriate yield, special attention must be paid to fertilizing the soil. The variety responds well to the application of organic fertilizers and phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. Organic compounds can be added in the fall, and during the growing season, only phosphorus-potassium supplements can be applied to the pepper. When choosing fertilizers, it is worth remembering the intolerance of chlorine-containing compounds to pepper. In total, you need to carry out three fertilization: a week after planting, during flowering and during fruit ripening. Dutch varieties are influenced by the magnesium content in the soil; lack of it can lead to leaf fall and lower yields. The same applies to calcium, which can be applied "on the sheet", starting from the moment the first fruits are set.

In late July - early August, the pepper of this variety begins to reach the stage of technical ripeness, in which it can already be removed for storage. In this phase, the fruits have a deep dark green color. The optimum temperature should not exceed 10 - 12 ° С - for green peppers, at the stage of biological ripeness - 7 - 9 ° С.

Pepper Gemini F1: reviews of summer residents

Taking into account the information of professional vegetable growers, we can say that in a warm summer (southern regions) and growing the variety in the open air, the average weight of fruits is in the range of 200 - 250 g, which differs from the manufacturer's declared one. But, when growing the variety in greenhouses, the results are better and the peppers reach 300 - 350 g. The compactness of the bushes is also noted, as well as their good foliage, which protects the ripening fruits from the bright sun, and, consequently, from burns. The data on high resistance to diseases are also confirmed. When examining the plantings of Gemini pepper, one can notice the sameness of the bushes, the evenness of the shape of the fruits, as well as the uniformity of color and the uniformity of ripening.

Professionals and amateurs leave absolutely positive reviews about this variety, many refer to it as reliable and proven. The bright yellow color of the fruit looks very appetizing, and the taste does not leave anyone indifferent, and the Gemini F1 variety is planted by gardeners on their plots from year to year.

Among the listed, the earliest are the yellow-fruited Sun, Golden Pheasant and Heart of Italy, and the red ones (Anastasia, Kolokol) belong to the mid-late varieties. The fruits of these varieties are from 250 to 500 grams, the wall thickness is 8-10 mm, the yield is 5-8 kg per bush.

The best peppers for stuffing and processing

Pepper varieties for this purpose have a peculiarity - their fruits are medium-sized, leveled, ripen in several waves in large quantities. Among them there are very early varieties that yield the entire harvest in June-July, and there are those that ripen right up to the very frosts. The best varieties and hybrids for open ground:

Lyubava - all the fruits are one to one; Divo is an ideal variety for stuffing; Bogdan yellow-fruited - a variety for fresh consumption and in preparations; Golden miracle - yellow fruits grow in bunches, fruits look in all directions, the yield is amazing; Golden shower - orange lined fruits; Red miracle - large oval fruits growing in tiers; Marinkin Tongue - long fruits with a curved tip, very sweet, walls up to 0.7 mm; Banana - bright narrow fruits up to 20 cm in length; Lyudmila is one of the best varieties for the market; Lemon miracle, etc.

And we will also list such varieties for open ground, early and late, long tested by our gardeners and summer residents: Aeneas, Antey, Triton, Cinderella, Marimba, Alba, New Russian, Marisha, Mavr, Stepashka.

These peppers have compact, but very powerful bushes, with beautiful foliage, fruits of different colors, with a wall thickness of 7-8 mm, a yield of about 4 kg per square meter.

Be sure to grow bell peppers in your garden, because they are not only tasty and beautiful, but also have medicinal properties. There is nothing more useful than natural vitamins.

Pepper varieties or hybrids should be selected based on your climatic conditions. In areas with cool or short summers, low-growing, early-growing varieties or hybrids should be planted.

But if you have a good greenhouse, then tall, large-fruited and thick-walled hybrids, usually late-ripening and mainly of foreign selection, can be grown on insulated soil or when greenhouses are heated. In these cases, the seedlings can be transplanted early, at 75 days of age.

Sowing seeds will have to be in mid-February, and for the southern regions - in mid-January.Then the large peppers, which take about 150 days to ripen the fruits, will have time to give the plants in July.

Where spring is lingering and cloudy until March (for example, in the Northwest), do not plant peppers in January. Until the sun appears, the seedlings of peppers will not release the first real leaf, no matter how much you highlight it - it will stand for an extra month with cotyledon leaves, and this will have a bad effect on the harvest.

Varieties of Bulgarian selection are removed at the stage of technical ripeness, in this state the pepper is already quite edible and is well ripened to the stage of biological ripeness, when the fruits are completely colored in the color characteristic of the variety.

Hybrids of Dutch selection at the stage of technical ripeness are tasteless and poorly ripened, so they should be removed no earlier than the first smear of varietal color appears, then they will reach. Better yet, grow them to the stage of biological ripeness right on the bushes, then they really taste great!

As a rule, Dutch peppers are large-fruited, thick-walled hybrids of late ripening. In your greenhouse, it is better to have early Bulgarian varieties, usually unpretentious and reliable, and several multi-colored Dutch hybrids to amuse the soul and please the eye.

In the Northwest, late varieties of peppers do not have time to ripen: to grow them, it takes about 7 months and a sufficient amount of heat.

The most popular pepper Tenderness - early, fruitful, tasty already at the stage of technical ripeness, the most reliable in the North-West. The variety "Gift of Moldova" is also popular.

Of the new varieties, the earliest ripening is Zorka. The varieties Fry-Type, Jack, Zhanna, Green Miracle, Gambler, Karapuz, Corvette, Maxim, as well as hybrids Chancellor F1, Bouquet of the East and Galatea are early maturing species, and therefore they can be grown in almost any region.

Naturally, they are not very large, weighing about 100 g, fruits and quite undersized bushes - on average 50-60 cm, and therefore it is very convenient to grow them in low greenhouses or under arches in the covering soil.

Of the mid-season F1 hybrids, a series of rather large peppers weighing about 200 g, which is called the Star of the East, is of great interest. It includes peppers of the most varied colors. Early ripe hybrid Golden, medium ripening hybrids Yellow, White, Orange, Red, Chocolate.

When they all grow in the same greenhouse, then at the moment of the onset of biological ripeness, you simply cannot take your eyes off them. Of interest is the early ripe variety Kakadu, reaching 1.5 m in height. Its red fruits reach a length of about 30 cm and a weight of 500 g!

Bell peppers are no longer a horticultural and gastronomic highlight. It came to us from South America in the 16th century and has taken root forever in many gardens and farms of the country. Today, any vegetable grower is able to grow a juicy and impressive harvest. It is necessary to choose the right variety. And there is plenty to choose from! To the delight of pepper lovers, the range of varieties on offer has hundreds of options, from different parts of the world. However, the Dutch varieties received special love and trust.

In this category of the grower, there is a large selection of hybrid peppers. The difference between a cultivar and a hybrid is that the cultivar is a product of classical selection, the seeds of which retain all the characteristics of the parent plant.Hybrids are the result of crossing, have increased fruiting, but are not able to transmit their characteristics to future generations. In this case, the purchase of seed from season to season is a necessity, but if the task of collecting seed is not worth it, then there are practically no drawbacks for such varieties. Since high yields and an abundance of choice are exactly what many vegetable growers strive for.

Important! The cultivation of pepper occurs exclusively through seedlings, since direct seeding into the ground will not give results due to the short warm period.
