How to plant peppers: select and plant the best varieties of peppers for greenhouses and open ground

Pepper is an amazing vegetable. It is used for preparing delicious hot dishes, barbecues, salads and canning. Fragrant fresh peppers can be eaten straight from the garden.

The fruits of the most successful varieties grow juicy, fleshy, with a sweetish taste. Peppers are not only tasty, but also very healthy. Few people know that in terms of vitamin C content, pepper is superior to black currants and even lemons.

You will learn further how to plant peppers correctly and by what criteria to choose varietal seeds.

What determines the choice of varieties?

Like tomatoes, peppers come in determinate and indeterminate varieties. Indent peppers are in a constant growth phase and can reach enormous sizes, so they are often pinched at the top point.

These varieties are good for tall greenhouses. Determinate peppers are low-growing, productive, have a stable stem and lush foliage, grow well in the ground, but can also live in greenhouse conditions.

Let's watch a short video:

Before going to a seed store, you need to set your expectations. The following information about what types of peppers there are will help you:

Early ripening (90-120 days), medium (120-130 days) and late (from 140 days). The growing season includes all days from sowing seeds to harvesting;
Standard or miniature (bush height - 40-50 cm), medium-sized (120-130 cm) and tall (1.5-2 m);
With short and long fruiting periods - from 30 to 70 days;
According to the shape, weight and color of the fruit - cone-shaped, round, square, green, yellow, red, black, white, etc. Large-fruited varieties can produce fruits up to 600 grams, and the smallest ones - from 30 grams;
According to taste characteristics - with citrus notes, sourness, pungency, sugar varieties, meaty, juicy, thick- and thin-walled varieties.

Experienced gardeners note that the same variety of pepper, grown in different conditions, can have a different appearance and even taste different. Why is this happening? The answer is simple: each variety requires certain climatic, thermal and other growing conditions. Here are the main points to consider when choosing the best varieties for your garden:

Requirements for the place of cultivation.
There are greenhouse and ground varieties of peppers. A plant bred for a greenhouse will not grow well in open ground, as it requires special conditions of care, processing, gartering, etc. Typically, the best varieties of peppers for greenhouses are tall and large-fruited. In an open garden, low-growing, medium-ripening species that are resistant to temperature changes and typical diseases grow well;
Disease resistance.
Each region is characterized by its own diseases of vegetable crops. In rainy areas, for example, plants are susceptible to rot and viral diseases. Before choosing varieties, make a map of the most common diseases for your area, and pay attention to the resistance of peppers to these diseases, which the manufacturer indicates on the packaging;
Climatic conditions.
One of the most important factors in choosing a pepper variety is the characteristics of your climate. For cool summers, it is better to grow greenhouse peppers or early-ripening frost-resistant varieties. In rainy summer conditions, it is worth paying attention to varieties that are resistant to shading and high humidity. Almost all varieties of pepper are suitable for the southern regions of Russia;
Expected yield.
The importance of this indicator will depend on what kind of result you expect from the peppers and for what purpose you are growing them. For sale, it is better to choose mid-ripening, productive varieties that are resistant to diseases and temperature changes. “For themselves,” gardeners prefer to plant unusual and tasty varieties, which they always have the energy and time to care for.

Stages of preparing seeds for sowing

You can sow peppers for seedlings in a heated greenhouse or special containers for home growing. It is better to sow in March-early April, but the seed should be prepared in advance. Let's start by watching the video:

I. Seed hardening

Experts recommend storing seeds in the bottom of the refrigerator in sealed bags. If your varieties were purchased before planting, then place them in the cold for 3-7 days. Before sowing, peppers need to be soaked in a medium-strength manganese solution. You need to leave the seeds in water for a day, or at least 2-3 hours.

II. Preparing the soil mixture

For peppers, fertile light soil of the following composition is suitable: 1 part leaf or turf soil, 1 part peat, 1 part sand and a little wood ash. Buying a ready-made composition is the ideal solution, because in this case you do not need to make any additional efforts.

But if the land is “nearby”, then why pay extra? The soil you prepared yourself can be packed in a bag in the fall and left in the cold in winter. In the spring, it is better to fry the prepared soil in the oven so that all microbes, pests and their larvae are killed.

The finished mixture should be placed in planting containers and sprinkled well with potassium permanganate before planting the seeds. You can also grow pepper seedlings in peat tablets:

III. Germination of seeds

This stage is not mandatory, but sometimes necessary. Treated branded seeds coated with a protective coating are not germinated or even soaked.

It is better to soak simple seeds and material that you collected from ripe peppers yourself and let them hatch. You can germinate peppers in wet cloth, gauze, cotton wool and other moistened materials. You can also use sand or sawdust for germination.

Bowls with seeds for germination are placed in a warm, dark place. You can see sprouts in 5-7 days.

Mid-season

Medium ripeness varieties include those whose growing season occurs in the range from 110 to 130 days . This species is distinguished by the duration of fruiting.

A variety characterized by high seed germination. The fruits are cone-shaped, red. The length of a ripe Swallow pepper is up to 10 cm . The bush is small, about 50 cm.

A tall variety that produces a fairly large harvest. Atlant fruits are large (400g), sweet, deep red in color, thick-walled (1 cm). Peppers grow up to 20 cm in length . Resistant to diseases.

Sweet pepper for Siberia

Sweet peppers come from hot countries and like warm temperate climates. But even in such a harsh region as Siberia, you can grow peppers and get an excellent harvest. There are many varieties for cold climates. Which ones to use in this area? Summer in Siberia is short, so it is better to use early or mid-early peppers. The most common among them are the following:

An early variety with a low bush (up to 50 cm). The vegetables are cylindrical in shape and dark yellow in color when ripe . The thickness of the pulp is 5-8 mm.

A new variety bred in Siberia. Tolerant to cold, grows well in unprotected soil. The bush is strong, up to 60 cm. The ripe vegetable is red in color, large. The thick wall of pulp tastes sweet and juicy.

Golden Taurus

A mid-early crop, well suited for growing in Siberia. Bushes of medium height. The fruits are orange, glossy, cuboid in shape . The wall of the vegetable pulp is very thick, up to 20 mm.

Sweet chocolate

Unusual due to its paint. The fruit is dark brown in color, while the flesh is red inside . The pepper is very juicy and sweet in taste, ideal for preservation.

Which type of sweet pepper do you prefer?

Of course, this should be an early or mid-early variety if it is intended to be grown in central Russia. Before planting in the ground, the seedlings must be at least 80 days old. Fans of raw sweet peppers should take a closer look at the thick-walled white and yellow varieties; round-shaped varieties are more suitable for stuffing; Multi-colored hybrids will decorate winter preparations and salads. Here you need to take into account that the sweetest of the Dutch peppers is red, and it is the leader in vitamin content.

Attention! It is better to eat green pepper raw, because after heat treatment it develops a slight bitterness.

You should take note: the more the pepper weighs, the more juice it contains, and therefore more taste and vitamins.

Varieties for the Moscow region

For the changeable climate of the Moscow region, varieties that are resistant to sudden changes in temperature should be selected. The following are popular among gardeners:

Golden medal

Bell pepper. Varieties and hybrids

It is, of course, impossible to provide a complete list of varieties and hybrids of sweet peppers, because more and more new ones appear every year.

Therefore, I am writing about varieties with which I am well acquainted, about those that can be grown both in open ground, under the simplest shelters, and in film greenhouses.

At the Vienna dacha I grow new varieties and hybrids. And, through selection, I leave sweet pepper varieties with qualities that are important to me:

ripening time (only early and mid-ripening varieties and hybrids), taste (the sweeter, the better), yield (the more), fruit size (the heavier, the better), wall thickness (thickness is welcome), color (in salad and in the “sunsets” there should be a play of color),

plant height (high for greenhouses, low for growing in a bed under arches).

The indicated color of the fruit corresponds to biological maturity, but the value of pepper is that it can also be consumed at the stage of technical maturity (when the fruits are green, white, cream, yellowish).

Which varieties of peppers to choose for growing in a polycarbonate greenhouse: a review of the characteristics of the best

Reading time: 9 minutes(s) Pepper is a very heat-loving crop that can be grown without a greenhouse only in regions with a warm southern climate. In the middle zone, peppers need a good and durable greenhouse, ideally made of polycarbonate. To get a good harvest of tasty and healthy vegetables, you need to correctly choose the best varieties of peppers for a polycarbonate greenhouse. Such greenhouses are more reliable and allow you to get a rich harvest in any weather conditions. However, not all varieties of peppers are suitable for growing in polycarbonate greenhouses.

How to choose the right variety and seeds

Before buying pepper seeds, you need to choose a suitable variety, and you need to choose it according to several criteria at once.

Firstly, this is the height of the greenhouse, which determines whether to purchase a tall or short variety.
Secondly, it is worth considering the resistance of plants to those pests and diseases that are more common in the region.
In addition, you need to decide on the ripening time of peppers (early, mid-ripening, late) and the climatic affiliation of the variety.

It is better to buy seeds of regionalized varieties of local selection at the nearest seed station.

Hybrid or variety: which is better and why?

The difference between a variety and a hybrid is that seeds cannot be collected from a hybrid for subsequent planting, but varietal peppers are able to retain all the parental properties in the seeds.

Although hybrids are more resistant to diseases and produce a better harvest, seeds will have to be purchased annually.

Whereas from ordinary varietal peppers, you can collect the seeds yourself and plant the variety you like next year.

Choice of color, shape and size

Modern breeders have developed a huge number of varieties of peppers, of different shapes, sizes and colors. The choice here is not limited, but it is worth reading the description on the packaging.

It indicates not only the main parameters of the variety, but also the wall thickness, pulp density, the need for regular pruning and bush formation, storage duration and the possibility of canning.

Rules of care and feeding: instructions on how to grow peppers in a greenhouse?

Getting a good harvest requires some effort and compliance with the rules of agricultural technology.

Pepper is a rather capricious crop that requires constant care, regular watering and fertilizing, and a certain temperature regime.

Seed preparation

First of all, after purchasing seeds of the selected variety, they must be properly prepared for planting as seedlings. First, the seeds are germinated, that is, they are wrapped in gauze or cotton fabric and placed in a saucer with a small amount of water.

The container with the seeds is covered and placed in a warm place, making sure that the seeds do not dry out. As soon as the first shoots emerge, you can begin planting.

Planting seedlings and caring for them

It is necessary to prepare nutritious soil from 2 parts of humus with the addition of 1 part each of sand and garden soil and place the substrate in small peat pots.

One seed is planted in each pot, since pepper does not tolerate picking. After which, the plantings are watered, covered with glass and kept warm.

You should not water the seedlings often, and the water for watering should be well warm (about +30C). The first fertilizing is carried out when 2 leaves appear (with potassium-phosphorus fertilizers).

Before planting in a greenhouse, young plants are hardened off, periodically taking them outside or to another room with a temperature not lower than +15C.

Preparing the greenhouse and soil for planting

For the winter, the soil in the greenhouse is dug up and organic matter is added at the rate of 2 buckets of manure/1 m2. In the spring, a few days before planting seedlings, the soil is watered with any complex mineral fertilizer.

Caring for peppers in a greenhouse: watering, fertilizing, agricultural technology

After landing in a permanent place:

The first time the plant is fertilized during the growing season, once every 2 weeks, using nitrogen fertilizers.
During fruit growth and development, peppers are fed only with phosphorus fertilizers.
Peppers should be watered early in the morning, before flowering - once every 10 days, and when the peppers are forming - once every 5 days.
After each watering, it is necessary to loosen the soil and remove weeds.
Tall plants need support, so they are tied to trellises. Bushes that are too dense will have to be pruned.

Prevention of diseases and pests, treatment

The varieties described above are resistant to most diseases, but can be affected by pests.

Plants can be protected by pollination with wood ash, and this treatment should be carried out in the morning, after dew, three times a season.

Spraying with whey diluted with water (0.5 l/bucket) will help get rid of aphids. You should not water the plantings often, so as not to cause the development of rot.

Useful neighborhood: what crops can peppers be grown with in the same greenhouse?

Peppers will feel good next to the following crops:

cucumbers;
onion;
garlic;
basil;
eggplants.

Tansy and dill planted nearby will protect from pests.

Useful tips from agronomists: what else do you need to know?

It is necessary to strictly follow the planting scheme, i.e., place them so that each bush has enough light.
Water the peppers sparingly (often, but not too much).
It is necessary to loosen and weed the plantings very carefully so as not to damage the roots.
Pepper equally dislikes both cold and heat, so it is important to maintain the temperature regime in the greenhouse.

Following these simple rules will allow you to get a rich harvest of peppers without spending much financial or physical effort.

The choice of varieties and hybrids of the crop is quite extensive. From the varieties proposed above, you can choose a suitable plant that will grow well in a polycarbonate greenhouse.

Titanium. In addition, Titan pepper is classified as a mid-season variety, since its full ripening path from seed germination to biological ripeness, when the fruit is dark red, takes about 4 months. The wall thickness is also quite large - almost 9 mm. High taste qualities make Titan sweet pepper a real favorite. The height of the bush reaches 0.7 m, the bush itself is semi-spreading. It is a mid-season variety because the full growing season takes place within 4 months. The fruits are large, weighing more than 300 g.

Etude. Pepper Etude is considered a productive medium ripening variety and is considered highly domesticated as it can even be grown on a balcony. As a result, the fruits are small in size and have a correspondingly low weight (usually up to 100 g), so they are very tightly bound on the bushes - up to 45 pieces. The fruits have a round prism-shaped shape, the walls are dense, up to 6 mm wide.
Player. This is an early ripening and high-yielding variety. The bush of this plant is about half a meter high, even a little more.

Czardas. The fruits range in color from yellow-orange to orange-red and can be eaten at any stage of ripening. The very large weight of one pepper reaches 220 grams; from one square meter you can get up to ten kilograms of product.

Features of cultivation and care

When it is not possible to purchase a greenhouse, you can plant the seeds in small containers so that they have time to germinate before they are transplanted into open ground.

This plant is very picky, so it is recommended to sow it in separate peat pots of small diameter.

The soil for such purposes is the lightest, loosest and containing the required amount of humus in its composition.

Before planting in the soil, pepper seeds must be processed. To do this, they are placed in water with a temperature no higher than 50 ° C. They must remain there for about 5 hours, that is, until they swell. They are then placed on a damp cloth for 3 days. The room must be at least 20 °C. If pre-planting preparation is carried out correctly, the first shoots can be obtained in one day.

Do you think pepper seeds should be processed?

After sowing, the soil must be thoroughly watered and covered with plastic film or glass. As soon as the first shoots of pepper seedlings appear, it is necessary to maintain the temperature in the following ranges: 25-28 ° C at night, but not lower than 10 ° C.

You cannot water the plant too much as this can cause great harm (cause disease). In no case should you dry out the substrate where the seedlings grow. Water the plant with warm water - within 30 ° C.

If you use cold water during irrigation, the plant will become brittle and may die.

Do not forget about the temperature conditions and the air in the room in which the sprouted seedlings should not be dry. The rooms in which the plants are located must be ventilated, and the plants must be sprayed. Lighting plays an important role in growth; during the month it should be illuminated from 6 am to 8 pm.

Before planting seedlings, it is hardened off. What does it mean? The plant gradually gets used to low temperature conditions, wind, rain, and sunlight, exposing it outdoors. The time gradually increases. It should be remembered that maintenance of the installation must be appropriate, and in no case should it be exposed to low temperatures (below 13 ° C and frost).

Care

The plant includes not only regular care: watering, gartering, weeding, but also fertilizing the seedlings. It is recommended to carry out the first fertilizing in the phase of leaf appearance. To do this, take 0.5 g of ammonium nitrate, 1 gram of potassium fertilizer, 3 g of superphosphate and mix with 1 liter of water. The second fertilizer is carried out 14 days after the first with a doubling of the dose.

It is good to feed the seedlings with nettle decoction. To prepare this:

Take one part of the plant and 10 parts of plain water.
This mixture can be infused for about two days.
The last time to feed the plant is two days before the seedlings are planted in their permanent place of growth.

During the season, at least 4 additional feedings are carried out using chicken manure, alternating it with any mineral fertilizers.

If the plant's leaves are curled and the edges are dry, this is a sign of a lack of potassium. When peppers need nitrogen, the leaves take on a grayish tint and gradually become small. When a plant lacks phosphorus, the lower part of its leaves turns a bright lilac color, which is pressed tightly against the trunk.

If there is a lack of magnesium, the leaves become marbled.

Excessive nitrogen levels lead to serious diseases.

When the weather is very hot and humid, remove the shoots.

During the growing season, do this several times in a row. Pruning is carried out once a week and only after harvesting the fruits. One of the aspects of caring for a plant is tying it up. Carry it out after hilling and mulching.

You can also watch a video where you will be shown pepper seeds of Dutch, American and Japanese selection.

Even in the spring, when buying seeds, it is better to choose pepper varieties that are resistant to diseases and bad weather conditions, which can produce a bountiful harvest in both dry and rainy, cool summers.

Undoubtedly, a rich harvest largely depends on the quality of the seed. But this will also require knowledge of the conditions for growing sweet Dutch peppers, their needs, vagaries and ailments.

The best varieties of hot Dutch peppers

Sweet peppers are closely related to hot chili peppers. Both contain capsaicin. This alkaloid, in addition to giving pepper its pungency and pungency, causes malignant cells to die en masse, that is, it helps in the fight against cancer. With the help of capsaicin, the work of the stomach and pancreas is stimulated, appetite is stimulated, blood pressure is reduced, and the blood is thinned, which helps to avoid the formation of blood clots.

A whole group of different hot peppers, which vary in color, size and pungency, are united by one name - Cayenne pepper. “A gift to humanity” is what scientists called this pepper after studying its beneficial properties.

Spicy lovers can recommend the following varieties of hot peppers from Holland:

"Chilean heat"

An early variety with bright red, glossy fruits (length about 20 cm), can grow both in a greenhouse and in open ground, the taste is not very spicy, with a strong peppery aroma;

"Hungarian pepper"

Ripens in 85-90 days, the bush is compact, low-growing (up to 45 cm), with smooth, cone-shaped fruits weighing up to 40 grams, with a wall thickness of 3-4 mm, from yellow to red. The taste is medium hot.

"Superchili"

A high-yielding, early, very hot, bitter and pungent hybrid, the fruits are quite large (about 7 cm) weighing 15-25 grams. The bush is not too tall, about 50-60 cm high, the color of the fruit changes depending on ripeness: green – orange – cherry red. To prevent cross-pollination, this variety should not be grown next to other, especially sweet, peppers.

Important! Among the varieties of hot peppers intended for growing in a greenhouse or in open ground, you can find pepper seeds of Dutch selection, which can be planted in a flower pot and grown hot peppers on the windowsill.

This is very convenient: fresh pepper is at hand all year round, especially since hot pepper is a perennial plant that can grow for 5 or even 10 years, depending on proper care.

The best varieties of sweet peppers with photos and descriptions

Sweet peppers have become an everyday vegetable and are often used in cooking. This crop is grown in every garden, regardless of the region. You can grow it and harvest it almost anywhere by choosing the right variety. Today we will get acquainted with the best varieties of sweet peppers.

This is a typical representative of the nightshade family. The fruit is a hollow false berry with a large number of seeds. Color ranges from pale yellow to brown and purple. In its homeland, in Central America, it is a perennial plant, but in the Russian climate it is grown as an annual.

In the southern regions of the Lower Volga region, in the North Caucasus, in the Krasnodar Territory it produces rich harvests in the open air, and in more northern regions temporary or permanent shelters are needed.

Sweet pepper.

It often happens to amateur vegetable growers who grow sweet peppers that all their work and work done on caring for and growing peppers simply goes to waste only out of stupidity, due to the choice of sweet pepper variety for planting and further cultivation on their favorite land.

A bad variety of pepper, or seeds taken for planting from pepper hybrids, or even worse - seeds of reduced reproduction.

New varieties of sweet peppers photoAdvertising announcements.

In the fall, gardeners with special interest and often even get involved in discussions about the varieties of sweet peppers sold, walking around the market with rows of peppers, and every vegetable grower tries to extract information from the sellers or some details and nuances in growing such beautiful varieties of sweet peppers. But It’s not that simple; no one wants to share the secrets of growing sweet peppers.

Having a piece of fertile land, caring for and nurturing plants for three to six months, of course, it’s a shame not to get the expected harvest. In the markets from late summer to mid-autumn, the bright colors of the mountains lie on the shelves of peppers, these are miracle peppers: the fruits of the walls are thick, densely juicy, beautiful, green, red, yellow, for any application and use. Many of us, of course, peck at such bait and begin to collect seeds from such large sotres of sweet peppers and fruits, but in the near future they will be greatly disappointed, the pepper fruits grow small and dry. It turns out that these are pepper hybrids or hybrid peppers and they split valuable acquired characteristics, resulting in a “translator”.

Foreign companies engaged in the production and breeding of pepper hybrids very diligently protect their products and are monopolists in this area. and therefore they supply hybrids to our wide and fertile market, which pushes the consumer to buy fresh sweet pepper seeds every season.

But our summer resident has not become richer to help out the overseas farmer every year, so he is chasing “two birds with one stone” - not only to collect the seeds himself, but also to get excellent products.

Last year, pepper lovers were disappointed in the Dutch hybrid Chocolate Beauty: the seeds had reduced germination, and the fruits were dark brown, dry, inconspicuous, with poor purchasing power. In addition, brown fruits do not provide such benefits as red- or yellow-fruited varieties with a high carotene content.

When planning the next vegetable season, the gardener strives to achieve at least three goals: to obtain a high yield, beautiful products and to prolong their fresh supply as long as possible. Today we will think about how best to form the varietal composition of sweet peppers.

We will not consider in detail the well-known and good Moldovan varieties of sweet peppers: Well-known varieties of peppers grow well in our region and are successful: Belozerka, Bogatyr, Podarok Moldova, Novy Goshary, Merishor and others.
