PEPPER GROWING - PLANTING AND CARE. BEST VARIETIES (UKRAINE)
Nowadays pepper needs no introduction. Fragrant, vitamin, tasty, this vegetable is loved and in demand all over the world. True, not all gardeners can boast of success in its cultivation. And it's not just the climatic features of a particular region. It all depends on skill, diligence and perseverance. Pepper can be easily grown in a country house in the open field, if properly cared for and cared for.
LANDING AND CARE OF PEPPER
Before growing peppers, choose a well-lit and heated by the sun area, protected from the wind. As a rule, this place is near the southern wall of the house. You can build a rocker protection, consisting of plants, or create a windproof fence in the form of a fence.
The best predecessors for pepper are cabbage, cucumber, pumpkin and legumes, and table root vegetables. But after solanaceous crops (tomatoes, eggplants, potatoes), pepper should be grown no earlier than three years. Otherwise, he will “inherit” a large number of diseases from his fellow tribesmen and will not give the desired yield.
Before growing the soil, the soil must be carefully treated. This is usually done in the fall. The plot is free from plant residues, humus or compost is applied (5-10 kg / m2), superphosphate (30-50 g), wood ash (50-80 g). Pepper should not be placed on the site where fresh manure has been applied. An excess of soluble nitrogen adversely affects the preservation of ovaries, as well as the ripening of fruits.
Then you need to dig the area where you are going to grow peppers, and remove the weeds. In the spring you need to loosen the soil, make 30-40 g / m2 potash and phosphate fertilizers and 20-30 g / m2 Nitrogen. It is better to underfeed the soil than to overfeed, a glut of fertilizers is harmful for plants. From the time of spring tillage to planting seedlings should be periodically loosen the soil.
Pepper is a heat-loving culture, therefore it is important to observe the temperature regime when growing seedlings. We were convinced on our own experience: in order for the seeds to germinate and seedlings appear within a week, it is necessary to ensure the heating of the air in the room to 25-28 ° C. For two or three days after emergence, the temperature should be at the level of 20-22 ° C. Subsequently, pepper grows best and develops at a temperature of 23-26 ° C. Do not place containers with germinating seeds and sprouted sprouts on radiators, warm surfaces, since substrate overheating and plant death may occur.
It is important to remember: if the air in the room is warm, it does not mean that the ground has warmed up. Check the temperature of the substrate, not the air! Watering plants should be warm, settled water. The first two or three days after the emergence of shoots watering is not needed. Dry substrate is best moistened with a sprayer.
The age of seedlings when transplanting to a permanent place is at least 45-50 days. Plants must be strong, hardened, height 20-25 cm, have 6-7 true leaves, thick stems with a diameter of 3-4 mm, formed buds. Three or four days before planting, fertilizing is carried out - for example, with Previcur (15 ml per 10 l of water). Plants in open ground or greenhouse need when the soil at a depth of 10 cm warms up to 15 ° C, and the air - to 15-17 ° C.

Finally, I found a variety of pepper that meets absolutely all my requirements: tasty, juicy, fruitful, ideal for canning, characterized by good keeping quality and transportability, resistant to diseases. This Ratunda Variety is so unique that even an inexperienced consumer can distinguish it. Rounded flat, fleshy, as if divided into slices, the fruits have a bright color and look very much like a pumpkin. Wall thickness from 6 to 10 mm. Pepper moderately sweet, with a taste of honey. However, it is sharper than the usual Bulgarian pepper. All this combined with a delicate aroma made it a favorite product of our family.
Ratunda - mid-season variety (150-170 days). The bush is powerful, compact. With one square meter you can collect 5 kg of fruit.
Pepper has a complex of valuable components. According to the content of ascorbic acid and carotene, it is on a par with black currants and carrots. Eating sweet pepper strengthens the cardiovascular and circulatory systems.
Pepper Ratunda gained deserved popularity in cooking. It is part of salads, first and second courses, sauces and homemade preparations. In winter, finding good peppers on vegetable shelves is not easy, and imported, greenhouse, does not have that taste, and there are practically no vitamins in it.
But there is a solution - prepare pepper in advance, in the fall. Just put it in the freezer.
When growing Ratunda pepper I adhere to clear rules. After the Solanaceae, I place the pepper no sooner than in three or four years. The best predecessors for him are cabbage or cucumbers. Before sowing, pepper seeds are treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate. I dive seedlings that have real leaves, feed them with standard mineral fertilizers and, of course, often, but in small doses, water them.
To select Ratunda seeds, I choose large, fully ripened (but not overripe!) Fruits. I cut them with shears and place them in a warm place for ripening. Gathering seeds carefully. The obtained seeds are dried in a warm place for several days, and then folded in paper bags.
If you have not yet decided which varieties of pepper you want to grow in your garden, stop at the Ratunda variety. I'm sure he will become your favorite.
