And it can be replanted into the ground only when good sunny weather sets in, for example, at least 20 or 25 degrees. But if the temperature turns out to be much higher, then, accordingly, the sweet pepper needs to be watered. If the heat is above 40 degrees, then the roots will begin to die, the ovaries and flowers will quickly dry out, and the plant itself will simply wither.

It is known that almost all varieties of sweet pepper grow well under the following conditions:

Areas with good sunlight.
Areas with good soil that is rich in nitrogen and fertile.

If the pepper is planted in the shade, it will simply stretch upward, but the fruits will practically not grow.

Pepper care is easy: it needs to be weeded When ridding the area of weeds, water it abundantly and be sure to loosen it. During watering, it is necessary to feed this vegetable plant.

Late ripening

Let's take a closer look at each of these types. So, the first type is the early varieties of sweet pepper. These include:

The second type is mid-season varieties of pepper. These include:

California miracle, its ripening period is 130 days. But it is worth considering that this species does not like large amounts of fertilizer, especially with nitrogen. If you use it, the bush will be tall, but there will be few fruits on it.

How to choose a variety?

There are several rules for choosing a pepper variety. So, First of all, it's worth watching not on appearance fruits and not even on their size, but on the conditions in which it can be grown. For example, this is open ground or a greenhouse.

When purchasing seeds, you should always study the packaging, which must indicate under what conditions this type of pepper can be grown.

Knowing what types of sweet peppers exist, you can plant this plant of different ripening periods in one bed: early, middle and late. This will help you always have fresh peppers throughout the summer. And if the variety is late ripening, then you can even plant it in a pot and grow it on windowsills. Then the fruits will be until mid-winter.

Costs When purchasing, pay attention to the height of the bushes. This is necessary especially for those summer residents who grow peppers in greenhouses or whose plot area is strictly limited. Then it's worth buying only low-growing varieties sweet pepper.

Recently popular hybrid varieties of pepper began to be used, which are considered more resistant to disease. By the way, pepper varieties have now been developed that can easily withstand various weather conditions: drought, cool or rainy weather.

And of course, when purchasing pepper seeds, you should pay attention to what light mode is indicated on the package.

Pests and diseases of sweet pepper

Pepper may be susceptible to many diseases. For example, verticillium or stolbur. The first disease is caused by a fungus that lives either in the soil or in the roots of plants. There are several forms of diseases and their symptoms depend on this. To eradicate this disease from a site, it is necessary to completely remove diseased plants.

The second disease is stolbur or phytoplasmosis. This disease manifests itself as leaf curling., and the fruits become small and it is simply impossible to eat them. To get rid of this disease, chemical intervention (spraying) is necessary.

Pests of pepper bushes include spider mites, aphids, Colorado potato beetles and naked slugs. To get rid of them, you need to spray the bushes with pesticides.

If on time carry out all necessary measures to combat diseases and pests, then you can get not only healthy pepper bushes, but also a good harvest. If you choose the right type of pepper for your summer cottage, grow it, following all the rules, then very soon you will be able to get tasty, beautiful and healthy fruits.

To decide on the choice of a variety or several varieties of pepper that will grow successfully in your garden and produce a bountiful harvest, you need to answer several important questions.

What should the fruit look like? Do you prefer - elongated, cone-shaped, flattened, cup-shaped, elliptical, rounded, ribbed?
Fruit size. Do you like small neat peppers for stuffing and whole canning or gigantic size so that one is enough for a salad for the whole family?

Fruit color. The entire warm range and even some shades of cold are found today in the color of sweet pepper fruits. It can be carmine and burgundy, scarlet and cherry, orange, sunny and lemon yellow. And also lilac, violet, green, green-red, light green and white.
Thin-barked and thick-barked (thick-walled and thin-walled). This parameter is important for many. It depends on how “targeted” the grown pepper can be used. For rolling peeled peppers, for example, thick-skinned peppers with a solid layer of pulp are suitable. For stuffing, on the contrary, it is thin-walled.
Taste and aroma. Despite the fact that all peppers are called “sweet”, the taste is different varieties differs very much. Some are really sweet because they have high sugar content. There are varieties that are neutral in taste, and even with some sourness.

All of the above qualities are subjective and individual. Some will be delighted with this variety, others will write that it is disgusting and will never grow it again. But there are also objective parameters, such as:

plant height;
degree of bushiness;
dimensions of the root system;
resistance to viruses and pests;
unpretentiousness of cultivation;
resistance to changing weather conditions.

Finally there is varietal plants, and there are hybrid ones. Thus, even among early ripening varieties that are grown not in greenhouses, but in open soil, there are many choices within these species.

Advice! If you decide to grow peppers in open ground, when choosing suitable variety Pay attention first to the zoned varieties.

Of course, unprotected ground cultivation has its own characteristics. In order not to waste time and labor, and to see the return in the form of a generous harvest, you must follow some rules.

Growing in unprotected soil is excellent and the only possible variant for those summer residents who, for various reasons, cannot grow crops in a greenhouse. But be prepared to provide her with decent and proper care.

Table. The main stages of caring for peppers in open ground

Stage	Description
	Since the pepper is not grown in a greenhouse, the warmest, sunny, and quiet place should be chosen. The culture is light- and heat-loving, does not favor drafts, especially at the time of fruiting.
	Sandstone and loam are suitable for pepper. Even better is chernozem, which has a light composition. The medium is not acidic, optimally neutral. Waterlogged soils are not suitable.
	For soil cultivation, it is best to prepare high-quality seedlings. It is not recommended to sow seeds in the ground. The beginning of growing seedlings is March, approximately the middle. Super early varieties can be sown already at the beginning of the first spring month. In order not to pick the seedlings, it is better to immediately place the seeds in individual containers.
	This action is for planting seedlings in open ground necessary. Starts three weeks before landing. First, the window opens for a quarter of an hour. Gradually the time increases.
	The middle or second half of May, the first buds are visible on strong, low seedlings - everything has been done correctly, the plants are ready for planting. Choose a morning on a cool day. Prepare holes on a meter-long (wide) ridge in two rows. Between holes, 35 cm is enough, between rows - 50.
	Pepper grows best, more actively and with better quality, in the temperature range of +20°С… 25°С. Higher is possible. Below for a long time– undesirable, growth will slow down. If night temperatures are low when planting, it is better to cover the seedlings.
	No watering cold water. Especially after a hot day, the water should be settled and heated by the sun. Rain water is ideal. The shallow sprinkler method is the best way to water peppers. As for the pattern, it changes as the plants age. Before flowering - weekly, once, in extreme heat - twice. When flowering - three per week When fruiting - up to four times, in hot weather. After each watering, it is advisable to loosen the soil in the hole by five centimeters.
	They also depend on the growing season. When tying - herbal infusions, ash, mullein. During fruit formation and ripening - mullein or bird droppings in solution. During the growing season, you can make up to five feedings with an interval of at least 10 days.
	Tall varieties need it. Neatly tied up low-growing ones are also more convenient to care for and harvest. It is enough to tie the stem to a peg, and plant tall crops or varieties around the low-growing ones to protect them from the wind.
	Pepper is a popular crop not only among summer residents, but also among various pests, as well as viruses. Among the diseases in open ground, the crop suffers from spotting, tobacco mosaic, late blight, powdery mildew, Alternaria, black leg, rot. Cutworms, thrips, mole crickets and even the Colorado potato beetle can harm the crop.

Hybrid and variety - what is the difference

If you are still at a loss about what is better to choose, a weed or a hybrid, determine, first of all, whether you want to collect your seeds and continue breeding the variety once sown, or are you ready to purchase new seeds every year. This is the main difference between a variety and a hybrid.

Variety is the result of selection. It is selected, zoned, adapted to your region, and produces fruits with seeds of similar varietal characteristics. It is more reliable, but is not always as productive as expected and is often susceptible to disease.

A hybrid is a product of crossing. It cannot be adapted by definition. Requires more careful agricultural technology, but has high yields, is resistant to viruses and pests, and often has compact bush, presentation of the fruit. Hybrids are propagated by seeds in original form If this fails, you will have to buy new seed every year.
