Planting days for pepper

Bell peppers are no longer a curiosity in our region, and can be found in almost all dachas and vegetable gardens. Sometimes, the territory planted with pepper exceeds other seedlings. And this is not without reason, because pepper contains many vitamins and minerals. There is more vitamin C in pepper than in lemon. Let's look at: how to properly grow pepper seedlings, what planting lengths for pepper, and how to properly care for it.

Peppers should not be planted in open ground, but seedlings should be stocked up. Seedlings are best planted in mid to late March. At this time, the seedlings grow better due to the large daylight hours. Peppers are transplanted into the ground in late May or early June. Pepper does not tolerate frosts, and until the end of May they may well be.

To grow quality seedlings, you need to carefully examine the seeds. At the initial stage, the pacifiers are separated by soaking the seeds in a saline solution (1 l of water, 30 g of salt). After that, the seeds are washed and disinfected in a 1% solution of potassium permanganate.

Seeds should be planted in moist soil. The germination medium should be warm, but in moderation, no matter how dry the soil is. It is best to plant seeds in special trays with separate compartments. The height of the tray should not exceed 7 cm.
