Peppers and tomatoes in greenhouses - how to grow crops

For three decades I have been growing nightshade crops in unheated film greenhouses - and always get consistently high yields of quality fruits.

Everything starts in the fall, when it is necessary to conduct preparatory work. After harvesting, I dig in the greenhouse soil, water it and sow oats. For a month it grows on a decent height, I dig it into the ground, and on this place I sow winter rye. After wintering, it grows to 30-40 by the end of April. I dig it in and I ground it and ground it and prepare holes on it.

Peppers in the greenhouse

I grow three varieties of sweet pepper: Kolobok, California miracle and Japanese giant. At the end of February, sow seeds, and then dive shoots into cups of 250 ml. I plant the plants in a greenhouse with an interval of 40 cm.

Kolobok comes into fruiting in the middle of June, it lasts three months. This variety is unique in that it has no equal in thickness of the walls. The fruits are delicious, juicy. In the stage of technical ripeness the color varies from yellow to pink, in biological it becomes dark red.

The average weight of one pod is 200 g. I leave 10-12 fruits on the plant, if necessary, I need to put props.

California Miracle is a time-tested variety. The main crop ripens in July-August. The average fruit weight is 300-350 g. I leave 7-9 fruits on each plant.

The Japanese giant is more than justifying its name. Its growth is above 70 cm. The fruits are red, tasty, very good in workpieces. The largest fruit that I grew up weighed 740 g, it was 18 cm long and 29 cm in girth. No more than 7 fruits should be left on the plant. When overloaded, supports are needed. Collection from the bush reaches 3 kg.

Tomatoes in the greenhouse

I grow many varieties of this main nightshade culture, but the most attractive to me Bogatyr and Cherry Spencer.

I sow seeds after pickling in manganese in the first decade of March. After two weeks, I dive into glasses with a capacity of 0,5 l and place screens under the plants.

I plant in the greenhouse on the first five-day day of May according to the scheme 55 × 60 cm, thus, there are three plants per 1 m2. Planted in well-seasoned holes with a hole of 5-7 cm in order to add mulch after each watering.

I grow plants in one trunk, I delete the steps completely. On the plant I leave 6-7 flower brushes or 25-30 fruit. I cut the first flower brush completely. This technique is beneficial to the general harvest. At the end of July at an altitude of 170-180 cm, I remove the top, watered and watered the plants. In August, tomatoes can not be watered. For a season I feed bushes 1-2 times with infusion of herbs.

Bogatyr - a large-fruited variety, a powerful plant, fruits with an average weight of 400 g. I managed to grow a tomato weighing 850 g! I leave 20-25 fruits on the plant, remove at least 8 kg of tomatoes from the bush.

Cherry Spencer - a variety of Czech selection. It is ripening early - fruits can be removed from mid-June. Differs in high productivity - at least 160 fruits can be removed from one bush. On the brush develop 7-11 tomatoes with an average weight of 30 g. The fruits are solid and stored for several months.

The plant is difficult to form. The fee for three months of fruiting is at least 3 kg per bush.

Note

Interestingly, the fruits of the cherry are very heavy. They do not emerge, like other tomatoes, but immediately go to the bottom. So, they are heavier than water and about 20% - other tomatoes.

I noticed that on some tomatoes in a glass greenhouse, leaves wither. I water the plants every 3-4 days, feed the mullein infusion. Plants bloom, fruits are tied. But withered leaves are confusing. Does this not mean illness?

  - Usually, the disease manifests itself in the form of some kind of separate spots, blooms and dots on the stems and leaves. If the yellowing covers the entire leaf evenly, and also the lower leaves gradually turn yellow, this is a normal process. Each leaf has its own lifespan, and over time they die off.
  If this process accelerates, and several leaves turn yellow at once, this is a sign of a lack of light, that is, those leaves that do not have enough light begin to die off. This can be caused by plant thickening. In this case, you need to form plants in one or two stems.
  
  Important! Leaves that have begun to turn yellow should be removed with a knife or secateurs, leaving no stumps, flush with the stem.

In order for the peppers to grow even and juicy, you need to water them regularly - it is very convenient in this case to use drop watering.

For 2 already, the peppers have been growing steadily, juicy and strong. And all because I installed a system of drip irrigation.
I used to water peppers twice a week - more often I could not escape to the country. This affected the harvest.

In hot weather, even if the windows and doors in the greenhouse are open, peppers need a lot of moisture. With its deficiency, flowers fall, pollen dies, pollination may not occur completely, then ugly fruits are formed. It is very important to regularly water peppers during flowering and fruit growth. The fruit first grows in length and breadth, and then begins to form wall thickness. If at any of these stages the plant does not have enough moisture, which means it doesn’t have the strength to grow, it will form a curved side or thin-walled one. So drip irrigation is an outlet for those who cannot come to the garden every day. Just keep in mind that this method of irrigation is relevant for well-drained soils. If the earth is clayey, the drip method will not work, plants can rot due to stagnation of water.
