Secrets of colossal harvests with sweet pepper Kirill: reviews and description of the variety

Choosing the best pepper variety for 2020, first of all, you need to understand that there are no such "magic" varieties that will bring giant harvests without help. The key to a good harvest is always human labor. Modern agrotechnical methods help to achieve the highest results. Of course, the seed material also plays an important role - the better the seeds, the more abundant and healthier the seedlings will be.

To the question: "Which pepper is better?" there is no definite answer. And yet, we will try to name the best varieties of pepper for 2020, based on the simplicity, yield and resistance of plants. We will also tell you about the rules for growing different varieties of this capricious and thermophilic culture.

Choosing the best variety of bell pepper for your garden

The annual vegetable culture prefers a subtropical climate - the homeland of America, but the Mexicans and Guatemalans became the pioneers of the spicy vegetable with a sweetish juicy pulp. In fact, bell peppers can easily grow outdoors in temperate latitudes, subject to agricultural practices. In the northern regions of our country, this plant is used to growing in greenhouses, but some cultivars bear fruit well in street beds.

Sweet peppers are stuffed, stewed, canned, dried with spices and frozen for future use

They love peppers in Russia, despite their whimsicality and warmth. A wonderful spice, a healthy vegetable, it is eaten fresh and dried, frozen and dried, put in first courses, side dishes, hot snacks and even in baked goods. Pepper will emphasize the taste of any dish, the main thing is to know when to stop, because even sweet bell peppers sometimes have spicy notes and have a specific aroma.

There are several parameters, focusing on which the gardener will grow a variety or hybrid suitable for his climatic conditions and will definitely be with the harvest.

• Ripening period: early (90-100 days), mid-ripening (110-120 days), late (140 days) peppers.
• Greenhouse and soil: cultivars that are demanding on light and temperature conditions, as well as rare European hybrids and late-ripening peppers, grow excellently in protected ground; for open ground, early and mid-season varieties that are tolerant to diseases and temperature fluctuations are suitable.
• Varietal and hybrid - varieties allow you to collect seed, but most often less productive, they are classic red-fruited, yellow or white-fruited peppers; hybrids are the result of the work of breeders, such cultivars do not retain their maternal qualities in the next generation. Among the hybrid forms there are peppers with an outlandish fruit color, large-fruited, ultra-early ripening, high-yielding, resistant to diseases and pests.
• Vigorous - the height of the bush is up to 1.4–2 m, best of all bear fruit in a greenhouse, dwarf - no more than 0.5–0.6 m, are famous for their early maturity, grow well in unprotected beds.
• With different shapes and colors of fruits - round, cuboid, elongated, cone-shaped and proboscis, painted in bright orange, purple, brown, burgundy-lilac color.
• Ornamental peppers and hybrids for home distillation.

Candy is a pepper with unusual and original fruits, but hybrid seeds are difficult to find on sale

When choosing a seed, it is necessary to pay attention to the cold resistance and drought resistance of the cultivar, to select zoned varieties suitable for the climate of the growing place. Gourmets and avid vegetable growers make sure that the pepper is fruitful, thick-walled, with a sweet aromatic pulp. Gardeners today most often prefer peppers that are tolerant to many diseases, apparently that is why not only old proven varieties are especially popular, but also new ones. Many undertake to grow European and American hybrids - the result is quite successful, the main thing is to comply with the requirements for growing conditions.

Below, attention is focused on some of the features of growing bell peppers, knowing which you can get a stable harvest of delicious juicy fruits all season.

• Considering that pepper has an extended growing season, it is sown for seedlings in mid-February - 100 days before planting in the ground.
• Pepper does not like picks, therefore, for future seedlings of this vegetable, they immediately pick up a large container - 0.5-liter plastic or peat cups.
• When planting in a permanent place, the seedlings are placed at a distance of 30-60 cm (depending on the growth of the cultivar) - the pepper is not afraid of thickening, but if the plants are planted too close, the lack of nutrients will not allow you to get a good harvest.
• Seedlings are not buried, watered immediately after planting, then every 2-3 days for a week.
• Irrigation of pepper beds during the fruiting period is carried out every 5-6 days.
• The vegetable beds are regularly loosened, weeds are removed in the aisle.
• The ideal option is to mulch the beds - less hassle with watering, weeds are not so annoying.
• On the bushes below the first branch, stepchildren are removed, the procedure is repeated every 2 weeks.
• Top dressing is a guarantee of long and abundant fruiting. Pepper loves organic matter (for example, fermented chicken manure diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10), complex mineral fertilizers (for example, Sotka, Agricola, Vegetable garden from the Gera company, use according to the instructions), yeast dressings and herbal infusions.

The best option is to plant high-yielding and early ripening cultivars, since peppers, in comparison with other crops, have a long growing season - the first crop can be tried only 5–6 months after planting. From my own experience, I will say that beginners will have to "pant" when growing pepper: the culture loves warmth and light, is demanding for watering, but does not tolerate waterlogging, is responsive to regular feeding and is grown exclusively through seedlings. It is not worth it, without experience, to grow pepper using the "chicken feather" method, when chicken fluff and feathers are added to the planting pit, supposedly this enriches the planting with microelements and increases the yield. Pepper bears excellent fruit with a varied menu - organic + mineral fertilizers, which are alternated each time and applied at intervals of 10-14 days during the active growing season. And also it is not always practical to pick off the formed flowers from seedlings - I never do this. I leave all the buds, if you water with Kornevin, regularly moisten the soil during rooting - the flowers will give a crop. And the number of ovaries and the abundance of fruiting, in my opinion, is greatly influenced by the weather, soil composition and nutrition. But it is also necessary to harvest regularly - this provokes the appearance of new ovaries until the very cold.

Features and rules for growing the Bugai variety

To obtain a rich harvest, it is necessary to properly prepare the seeds for planting and choose the optimal place on the site for plants, observing the rules of crop rotation.

Good predecessors and neighbors for culture are:

• legumes;
• cabbage;
• cucumbers.

Unfavorable neighbors and predecessors:

• potatoes;
• tomatoes;
• eggplant.

Important! Spicy varieties should not be planted next to sweet peppers. When over-pollinated, bell pepper becomes bitter and loses its quality indicators.

When growing the Bugai variety, it is better to use the seedling technique. It is best to take separate pots for seedlings and place the seeds one at a time. Peat glasses are perfect for this.

Selection and treatment of seeds

Seeds for planting can be purchased at the store or collected by yourself. Seeds should only be taken from fully ripe, healthy large fruits. To test the seeds for germination and disinfect them, they must be placed for 1 hour in a warm (+ 30 ° C) solution of potassium permanganate.

The floating seeds are discarded, and the ones that have settled to the bottom are transferred to the growth accelerator solution. In this regard, the drug "Zircon" is suitable. 1 ml of the substance is added to 1 liter of water. The seeds are kept in such a liquid for 10 hours. Instead of soaking in a solution, you can moisten a piece of gauze and wrap the seeds in it.

Preparing the land for seedlings

Seedling soil can be purchased at the store or mixed independently in equal quantities:

• peat;
• sod-podzolic soil;
• sand.

Regardless of whether the soil was bought in a store or mixed independently, it must be disinfected.

Ground peppers: early and mid-season cultivars

Early ripening hybrid The early miracle of F1 can be high and not very - from 0.6 to 1 m, it grows well on street beds, but in a greenhouse it is possible to get a much higher return from 1 sq. m. - from 14 to 17 kg. The peppercorns are prismatic, dark red, densely pulpy - wall thickness up to 10 mm. Fruits weigh 200-250 g. The hybrid is versatile - it can be tasty in canned salads, and is great for stuffing.

My early miracle turned out really early, I started to blush very first. 10 days earlier than other days. Nice pepper, thick-walled, juicy. Very good for salad. It was a pity for stuffing and twisting.

Belozerka is an old proven variety with a low yield - up to 2 kg / m2 according to the State Register, according to reviews - up to 6 kg per 1 sq. m. The cultivar is appreciated for long-term fruiting, resistance to fungal and rotten diseases, absolute heat tolerance - the variety is intended for cultivation in the southern regions. Belozerka fruits become light cream in technical ripeness and bright red when fully ripe, peppercorns weigh 60–70 g each and have a conical shape. Belozerka is a tall cultivar, the bush requires reliable support, especially at the time of fruit ripening.

Belozerka bushes grew into several stems and they broke off under the weight of the fruits. And there were really a lot of fruits, as promised by the manufacturer! The color in its biological ripeness is golden-white. But if you hold it on the bush longer, it changes its color from orange to deep red. Fruiting until the very frost. In addition, when the heat subsided, I watered it once a week. And in October I did not water it. And only in November, when the temperature dropped below zero, I had to completely cut it off and put it in the refrigerator, on the bottom shelf. Its keeping quality is quite high, since I did not process it, but gradually cut it fresh on the table.

Most often, if they talk about sweet peppers, the first to remember is the Romanian variety Gogoshary - an unpretentious mid-season cultivar. It adapts well to any climate, but a southern and temperate climate is the best option.. Gogoshars grow remarkably in any conditions, form a low (up to 50 cm) lush bush with red-scarlet fruits that look like balls (weight 100 g). This is a drought-resistant variety, it belongs to thick-walled (pulp thickness up to 8 mm), recoil from 1 sq. m. small - 5-6 kg.

The largest Gogoshar fruits were 180 and 196 g, the smallest 85 g.I put all the fruits of this pepper on lecho, it turned out very tasty. Frozen a little. When frozen, it is easy to distinguish this pepper from the rest - a very beautiful color, wall thickness and even juiciness is felt visually.

Orange miracle F1 is not just a large-fruited (weight of peppercorns 210 g) thick-walled hybrid with a pulp thickness of up to 8-10 mm, but also an excellent decoration of the beds. Despite the fact that a medium-sized cultivar is considered a greenhouse - up to 10 kg / m2 are obtained under the film, many gardeners manage to get an excellent harvest of the Orange Miracle in unprotected beds. This is an early ripe pepper with a cuboid, bright orange fruit, and is certainly perfect for stuffing and fresh snacks. The hybrid rarely gets sick, is not inclined to shedding the ovary during a cold snap.

The walls of the Orange Miracle are of medium thickness, this pepper can be used in any form, I really like to stuff it with meat, and then stew it in tomato sauce or bake it with cheese in the oven. It is this shape that allows you to simply put it on, and not lay it sideways, and it seems to me that in this way all the juices are stored inside the pepper, making it even tastier. It is also good fresh, sweet and very juicy.The variety is unpretentious, resistant to some diseases, I grew it without any problems and unnecessary problems. I really liked the Orange miracle variety, I will recommend it to everyone!

If we talk about bell peppers for greenhouses, one cannot but recall the Fat Baron - one of the most fragrant thick-pulp cultivars (wall thickness 7–10 mm). Low-growing, drought-resistant, with a small but stable yield of fruits - up to 3 kg per 1 sq. m - early ripening variety bears excellent fruit in any climate. The dark red prismatic fruits of the Baron with a rich glossy skin weigh about 200-270 g, are ideal for stuffing, but pepper is also good in side dishes and for snacks. Top rot and bacterial diseases usually bypass this variety.

By the time of planting in the ground, the seedlings were quite strong. The seedlings transplanted well. Weather conditions in 2020 did not contribute to a large harvest, and the pepper had to be removed from the green bushes, ripening in a box. But nevertheless, I am very pleased with the variety - the fruits are thick-walled, tasty, the plant is demanding on growing conditions.

It is not for nothing that the name of the pepper is owl. The Fat Baron is a truly large-fruited giant with excellent taste.

Care rules after planting in the soil

In order for the bushes, and then the fruits, to develop well, they need good lighting. But, in extreme heat at midday, the plants need to be shaded. Otherwise, all agrotechnical measures are carried out as standard.

Watering and feeding

Watering frequency depends on weather conditions and the quality of the mulch. Peppers need moderate moisture. Plants react equally badly to a deficiency and an excess of moisture. On average, a bush takes 2-3 liters of water, with an average daily temperature of + 20 ... + 25 ° C and the presence of mulch. When the temperature rises above these indicators, watering is carried out 2 times a day.

Yielding and thick-walled cultivars in pepper beds

The Ural thick-walled F1 is one of the most productive cultivars, which will certainly grow both in the harsh climate and in the mild southern one. The hybrid is appreciated for its high adaptability to any climate, incredible yield - up to 11-14 kg / m2, large-fruited - burgundy-scarlet peppers 250-400 g each, which is important, the thickness of the pulp sometimes exceeds 10 mm - for lecho and pickled salads has equals. The cultivar fully develops with the same yield both indoors and outdoors, rarely gets sick, and is famous for its good keeping quality.

Ural thick-walled - the harvest is not very good, the pepper is not the largest, but tasty, fragrant and not thin. There are not enough fruits, or I do not know how to grow it ...

Hercules with square bright red fruits belongs to the group of late-ripening peppers, tolerates drought and cold, therefore vegetable growers in any corner of our country are happy to grow this large-fruited thick-walled variety. On sprawling low bushes, drooping peppercorns grow, each of which gains no more than 160 g. According to the State Register of the Russian Federation, Hercules does not differ in high efficiency - up to 3 kg per 1 sq. m, wall thickness - up to 7–8 mm. But many gardeners advise this variety precisely as highly productive, since they achieve returns, especially with greenhouse forcing, up to 10-12 kg / m2.

The plant is semi-spreading, of medium height. I leave the trunks as long as they grow. The fruits are cuboid, I like this shape. Quite large, with good taste, juicy, wall up to 7 mm. I pick pepper most often in technical ripeness, that is, green, since it very quickly reaches biological ripeness (red color) in a box or in any other container.

The classic pepper variety Kolobok is a favorite of southern vegetable growers: it is considered one of the most delicious mid-late varieties with persistent immunity to many diseases. In a mild climate, a stunted cultivar thrives on street beds, northerners often grow a Kolobok under cover. Despite the approval of official sources that the yield of a variety rarely exceeds 5 kg per sq. m., experienced gardeners successfully grow this pepper and do not hide - the yield from one cultivar bush sometimes reaches 3-4 kg, that is, up to 9-13 kg / m2 - it all depends on the observance of agricultural technology. The fruits of the Kolobok are actually round-sided, bright red, weighing 140–160 g, the thickness of the walls of the pulp reaches 11 mm.

The sweet pepper variety Kolobok, although it does not quite correspond to the picture on the package with seeds, turned out to be unusually fragrant, fleshy, tasty and interesting in shape, almost all peppers are in the shape of hearts or plums. Low, grows into one trunk, without branching and formation of stepchildren. It is very strong, so it does not need a garter, except in case of strong winds when growing in the open field. All fruits ripen on one top. Early ripe, the very first bearing fruit. And he began to bloom at home, being seedlings. In my opinion, "Kolobok" is not as demanding on heat as large-fruited varieties. But peppers ripening under the sun are more fragrant and healthier, and they also become slightly chocolate-colored.

The mid-season Bagheera variety with cuboid fruits weighing just over 100 g is appreciated for its fragrant pulp and pronounced peppery taste.

Bagheera is recommended to grow for lecho, pickled appetizers and fresh salads, the pulp thickness is 6 mm. The cultivar is grown in open ground and under film shelters, the return from 1 sq. m - 1.2 kg. But this is an average figure, some gardeners achieve higher yields - up to 3-5 kg ​​/ m2.

I have been planting for the third year, I love this variety. Yes, late, but how beautiful and delicious. And for the third year, the neighbors mistake him for an eggplant bush. The last time they ripened only at the beginning of August. Bagheera is the most beautiful and clever girl (she knits the best).

Big daddy - early ripening pepper for soil and greenhouses with medium-sized fruits 90 g each. The yield of the cultivar is also small - about 5 kg / m2, but vegetable growers like it for the unusual color of the fruit - dark purple cone-shaped peppercorns with thick flesh (7–8 mm) adorn pepper beds for a long time. Only when fully ripe, the fruits become red-burgundy. Dense peppers are pickled, frozen and dried. The variety is transportable, well kept.

I grew bushes of peppers on the window, Big Dad turned out to be stocky, strong, with purple veins. The pepper very quickly picked up the buds from me, I did not pick them off. The largest pepper has grown to a length of no more than 10 cm. So much for Big Daddy! In the garden, he also does not grow very large. There will simply be more peppers on the bush. The pepper tastes pleasant, sweet. It is not kept fresh for very long, but it lies well like ordinary bell peppers in frozen.
