From time immemorial, mankind began to cultivate land in order to receive the rich gifts of the land. Vegetables, fruits, cereals - all these products have become an integral part of the diet of any person.
Among vegetable crops, sweet peppers or bulgarian peppers occupy a particularly important place. Interestingly, bell peppers are called mainly in Russia. In other countries, it is known as paprika or Bell pepper... This is due to the fact that after the "migration" of culture from Central America to Europe, and then to Bulgaria, sweet peppers found a "second wind" in the form of new varieties. Scientists of this country began to actively engage in selective breeding of the plant and brought out the best varieties of sweet peppers, which were appreciated by the inhabitants The Russian state at the very beginning of the XX century, and then switched to the bulk purchases of vegetables in Bulgaria. Since then, on the territory of Russia, all varieties of capsicum sweet pepper are called Bulgarian.
On the this moment a huge variety of pepper varieties have been bred. Exists a large number of criteria affecting the selection of planting material, for example, for greenhouses. Choosing the seeds of the best varieties of sweet peppers should be based on the following characteristics.
Ripening terms
The ripening time of fruits is the most important indicator, therefore, when choosing seeds, you need to pay attention to it first of all. V northern regions where the summer is short, it may not mature, and the expended efforts will be in vain.
For example, residents of the Moscow region have already identified the most suitable varieties for themselves. The answer to a common question: what are the best varieties of sweet pepper for the Moscow region - reviews of people who have tested in practice the suitability of certain varieties of vegetables for greenhouse cultivation in this region. The most popular varieties are Dobrynya, Aries, Mercury F1. Farmers estimated their early maturity (90-95 days) and yield (12-14 kg / sq. M.). The best varieties of sweet peppers for a greenhouse near Moscow: Bagration, Nochka F1, Alyonushka, Orange King, Cardinal, Latino F1.
The best varieties of sweet peppers for the Moscow region, suitable for cultivation "under the open sky", have also been identified: Atlantic, Gogoshary, Golden Taurus. All three varieties have in common that they belong to medium early varieties, can be grown without a film cover, and give a good harvest.
The most urgent issue is the early ripening of fruits for the inhabitants of the northern parts of Russia, for example, for the Urals. The most suitable varieties of sweet peppers for the Urals: Montero, Pioneer, Kupets, Bogatyr, Red (or Yellow) Bull, Winnie the Pooh. All of them are the best varieties of sweet peppers for the Urals for the winter, since they are ranked among the early-maturing and mid-early varieties, give good harvest in unheated greenhouses, as well as open ground under the film.
Pepper ripening time: early, medium, late
Early peppers are considered if the time from the moment the plant sprouts to the first fruit is about 80 days (maximum - 100).
Medium sweet peppers. A medium-ripening plant will give fruit on the 115-130th day.
If bell pepper belongs to late varieties then the maturation process will take up to 140 days.
Fruit color
It would seem, why pay attention to the color of the pepper? After all, the color of the fruit only adds decorativeness to a particular variety. It turns out that in some cases, the color can tell something about the beneficial properties of the fruit. By growing a red vegetable, a person gets more vitamin C than, for example, yellow pepper. Yellow variety, in turn, is rich in potassium, which is essential for maintaining cardiovascular and nervous system... Orange sweet peppers "signal" the presence of carotene.
It should also be remembered that the color of the pepper changes during aging. At the stage of technical ripening, the fruits are usually green. Fully ripe vegetables take on the characteristic color of the variety.
Fruit shape
The shape of the bell pepper is different: cone-shaped, prismatic, almost round, similar to a cube. The shape of the vegetable is taken into account depending on the purpose for which it will be used. For example, for stuffing, round peppers, such as the Sunny variety, are best suited.
"Place of residence"
When choosing seeds, one should not forget about the conditions in which the pepper will "live": greenhouse, "fresh air", room. Each pack of seeds indicates whether the plant should be grown in an open, closed ground or on a loggia in an apartment. When purchasing seed, it is advisable to pay attention to the packaging of the seeds, where the conditions for growing the plant are indicated. Many greenhouse sweets will likely not yield the promised outdoor harvest. Today, the best varieties of sweet peppers for greenhouses include the following representatives: California Miracle, Agapovsky, Atlant F1, Apricot Favorite, Belladonna F1, Star of the East, Swallow, Cardinal F1, Bogatyr, Isabella F1.

Other varieties of bell peppers also showed good yields: Mammoth, Golden Calf, Don Pedro, Three Fat Men, Gems, Fat Baron, Kolobok.
Earliest pepper
Ripening time is perhaps the most important factor to consider when choosing peppers for planting. Early varieties in this sense occupy a leading position, since they allow a guaranteed harvest in the northern regions, and in the southern regions early peppers sometimes used for two harvests per season.
Most of all, the early varieties of sweet peppers for open ground, suitable for greenhouses, have earned the confidence of vegetable growers:
The shortest pepper
In the cramped conditions of small personal plots, it is very important to place all your favorite garden crops. Often the most productive peppers are tall plants that require a lot of space. In addition, there is a problem with props, to which you need to attach a bush so that it does not break under the weight of the fruit and does not end up on the ground. These problems can be easily avoided by choosing the shortest varieties of bell peppers for your garden plot.
What varieties of "small stature" are considered to be the best?
Slight growth is also typical for the following sweet pepper varieties: Agapovsky, Eroshka, Albatross F1, Gemini F1, Timoshka, Ilya Muromets.
The thickest pepper
Sometimes the decisive role in the selection of seeds is played by the wall thickness of the pepper. It is very important for lovers of this product to choose the best varieties of sweet peppers with thick walls for preparing all kinds of fresh and pickled salads. The following varieties of sweet peppers with thick walls (more than 6 mm) and juicy pulp can boast of positive reviews: Red Giant, California Miracle, Volovye Ear, Fat Man, Anastasia, Belozerka, Kolobok, Fat Baron. By the way, all of these representatives are the most acceptable varieties of thick-walled sweet peppers for open ground, giving a bountiful harvest without being covered with a film.

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 shoots 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.
So one of the conditions for success: growing pepper seedlings in a city apartment on a warm windowsill
pepper is hard to transfer, but then 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 one more 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 abundant feeding young plants can be burned. I use very good for this. liquid agent"Ideal" ((I feed Terra Lux - Lyudmila ..). And if you create warm seedlings comfortable conditions, then you don't need to feed, the seedlings will delight you anyway.
Regularly in the morning, watering is carried out at low 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 mineral fertilizers 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, the 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. Also, pepper doesn't like strong wind, especially drafts. Therefore perfect place for peppers - the 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 soils with large quantity clay. When sweet peppers are planted in a garden bed, 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 (removing 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 110 to 140 days.
Plant the California 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 waters the soil hot water, but not boiling water, and in the evening starts sowing.
Sowing time. Sows in the evenings, focusing on moon 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.
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.
It feeds for the first time after landing in the ground, watering it 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
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 soil and 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 close the trays with foil and put them in 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 until all the loops appear, the first ones 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 and vermiculite.
With such roots, 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 to each dressing herbal infusion... 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 l hot water I dissolve 2 tablespoons of double or 4 tablespoons of simple superphosphate, put it on 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 feeding. 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.
Wonder Giant(fruits weighing 250-300 g, elongated cuboid, wall thickness 8-9 mm], Bugay (yellow fruits, weighing 300-400 g, wall thickness 10 mm),

new items of the Russian selection Tenderness, Miracle Giant, Raja.
There are favorite permanent varieties of pepper in our collection, with which we have been friends for many years.
Alone (Anastasia, Shorokshary, Triton, Bogdan, Cinderella, Stepasha, Azhur, Solnyshko, Nugget] are distinguished by long-term fruiting and tasty thick-walled juicy fruits,
other (King of the USA, Lumina, Morozko, Ivanhoe) attract with early maturity. And although their wall thickness is small (up to 6 mm), we still plant these varieties every year in order to get vitamin products early. our pride- varieties with heroic fruits weighing up to 500 g - Red Giant, Bell Goy, American crown. Pluck one such pepper - and there will be enough salad for the whole family.
For lovers of peppers with a high carotene content, we recommend orange fruit ( Orange Giant, Goby, Raja) and yellow fruit varieties (Bugai, Marimba). Their fruits are large, weighing 200-400 g, juicy, sweet, thick-walled (8-10 mm).
Tomato-shaped peppers Marisha, Golden Jubilee, Solnyshko, Gogoshary, Kolobok, Ratunda, New Russian are very good... Their nice elastic round-flattened fruits are the thickest (8-12 mm).
(In the greenhouse, I feed my peppers 2 times with an infusion of manure or herbs ... when I plant a teaspoon of universal fertilizer, ash and rotted manure, ... a little grass if there is ... infusion .. it increases the growth and green mass .. If there is a lot of greenery. then you should not feed .. it will fatten .. When the flowers appear, you can feed it with humate .. LUDMILA.
With this fertilizer I feed seedlings and vegetables and flowers .. Lyudmila. I Plant Atlas Myself. California Miracle. Health-Early. some other varieties are yellow.
Choosing a pepper starts with learning general characteristics, which are indicated on the pack with seeds, as well as catalogs when buying planting material. The most important quality indicators of a vegetable crop are yield, ease of maintenance, and resistance to diseases.
Which pepper is considered unpretentious
Pepper varieties are considered unpretentious, which:
To reduce pepper care, choose determinate varieties that do not need to be pinned and tied to a support. The advantage of indeterminate varieties is their high yield, but they must be pinned and tied up, this is the only way to get the most out of the plant.
