When growing sweet peppers in the Urals, it is better to use the seedling method and plant the plants in a greenhouse. But many experienced gardeners grow early maturing varieties in the open field and reap a good harvest. How do they do it?

When choosing a variety, it is necessary to take into account not only the ripening period, but also winter hardiness, and the light zone. Many varieties listed in the register are only theoretically suitable for growing in the unstable climate of the Urals, but in fact, during the short and cold summer, the pepper simply does not have time to ripen.

We have prepared for you a list of sweet pepper varieties that are best suited for growing in the Urals.

Useful tips for caring for sweet peppers in the Urals

Pepper loves warmth and good lighting, so it is better for novice gardeners to grow it in a greenhouse or in warm beds. In the Urals, summer is late and short, and even unpretentious varieties of pepper may not have time to ripen.
When grown in seedlings, seeds are sown in February-March. Flowers appear on the plant in May. In the southern regions, they are usually cut off, but in the Urals this is not worth doing: there is a risk that the fruits will not have time to ripen. Better to take a cotton swab or a thin brush and dust the flowers. So the fruits will set faster.
It is advisable to plant seedlings or seeds in open ground when the average daytime temperature of at least 13-15 ° C is established outside. And if there is a threat of frost, the beds must be covered with spunbond.
Sweet peppers respond well to feeding with organic fertilizers, therefore, before planting, compost or humus must be added to each hole at the rate of 3-4 kg / m2.
To increase the endurance of the peppers and help them "survive" in the difficult weather conditions of the Urals, during the growing season it is necessary to spray the plants with a mixture of Epin and Zircon every 2 weeks (1 ampoule of each substance is diluted in 10 liters of water).
In order to have time to collect the maximum yield for a short Ural summer, the fruits of the pepper must be removed a little unripe. So you will give the opportunity to sooner grow into the growth of recently set small peppers.

Choose the right varieties and you can harvest a good sweet pepper crop even in a cold region. Once you have tasted the fruits of your own hands, you no longer want to buy vegetables in the store. After all, the pepper from your own site is much tastier!

The peculiarity of the Urals climate is that the weather is changeable, cold winds often blow, summer is short with an average temperature of 20-22 ° С. Such conditions do not look particularly attractive for growing a heat-loving crop. But a large list of hybrids and varieties allows you to choose peppers for the Urals, which will grow and bear fruit perfectly. And simple agronomic techniques will help to achieve good results in growing peppers, even in a cool summer.

Secrets of growing pepper in the Urals

The key to a positive experience in pepper cultivation will be:

correct sowing time of seeds;
compliance with the timing of disembarkation of seedlings;
warming the garden;
temperature control.

For successful cultivation of pepper in the Urals, it is better to use the seedling method.

Seeds for seedlings in this region are sown in mid-March for the greenhouse, and in early April for open ground. Do not rush to sow seeds ahead of time, since sweet pepper seedlings in the Urals can be planted only at the moment when night temperatures stabilize and reach 14-15 C, and the soil warms up enough. This is approximately mid-May for greenhouses and not earlier than the 20th of May for open ground. Seedlings at the time of disembarkation should be 45-60 days old.

Warming up the beds will be important when planting seedlings, this can be done using:

manure;
natural stone;
plastic water bottles.

In order for the bushes to grow better and not suffer from nighttime drops in temperature, the bed is warmed up, for this it is practiced to lay manure in the aisles before planting seedlings. Remove 20-30 cm of soil, spread cow or horse manure and cover with removed soil. This method is used for greenhouses and for open ground. Consumption 3 kg per 1 sq. M. And also stones or bottles filled with water are laid out on the garden bed, which in the daytime will be heated by the sun, and at night they will give heat to the soil.

Often, even in the summer period, a decrease in temperature in the daytime below 18-20 is observed, low temperatures cause a delay in the growth of sweet pepper and postpone the ripening of fruits. In such a situation, the best option would be to cover the bushes in open beds with agrofibre and additionally insulate the greenhouse with a film or non-woven material.
