There is not a summer resident, who would not dream to grow in their garden of a great harvest of sweet pepper, peppercorns were all juicy, plump and smooth. To dream come true and peppers in the open field out useful and tasty, it is necessary to make small efforts and to carry out certain recommendations for watering, hoeing, fertilizing and temperature regime for plants.
The process of growing pepper a little time consuming, but very exciting. So:
What not to do while growing culture in the open field
1. It can not be too early to plant the seedlings in open ground pepper.
Pepper is a heat- and light-loving plants, so it is necessary to wait until the soil temperature and air at night will be at least + 13 ° C. And only then transplant the seedlings into open ground. Or, if earlier plantings need to use temporary shelters.
2. It is impossible to plant pepper on a bed even with a light shading
Small shadow easily provoke a delay in the development and flowering plants.
The exception, of course, constitute the southern regions, where without a little shading of the burning southern sun, pepper can simply not do. To this end generally use 40-45% -ing a shading mesh.
3. It is impossible not to be engaged in the formation of the bush varieties have indeterminate and poludeterminantnogo pepper
Without the need to form the plants will grow strongly.
A well-formed bush pepper should have 2-3 strong escape fruit-bearing, and all the weak or growing into the bush shoots and sprouts, which do not form fruit, should be removed.
Whole pepper, which I planted as an experiment does not produce a double and a triple junction. He planted was 28 March dry (!) Seeds. Today, June 7, pepper grows well and has long outstripped the growth and development of pepper planted three weeks earlier. And tying the first fruits (photo below). Who are not familiar with this my experiment, read about it here. It's really very interesting, and once again confirms the proverb: "There is no silver lining."
4. You can not get involved in much fertilizer in the planting peppers
Especially, nitrogen complexes. Oversupply of nitrogen lead to the plant foliage will begin to rapidly form, but about knotting bush fruits forget.
By the way, my experiment this pepper It was continued. Now I decided to try a bed on one method of forming a 3 pepper. Several bushes where I will, as usual, in two or three stalks, and other bushes generally will not form, and another one bush I (on the advice of subscribers will) Broke the top, and try to harvest only the lower laterals. Let's see what happens.
5. We can not forget about the regular and abundant watering plants
Pepper moisture-loving culture. If you are unable to make frequent watering, you should think about mulching garden beds and pepper (photo below).
6. It is impossible to deeply loosen the soil around the bushes pepper
In plants, the root system is located close to the surface, so easy even after loosening the bushes should be quite a bit to hill.
But do not overdo it! Pepper does not like penetration.
And here again comes to the rescue mulching. To avoid the need to carry out frequent hoeing, Zamulchiruyte beds with a thick layer of pepper cut grass or hay.
7. We can not allow an untimely collection of fruits.
Sweet peppers are best removed at the stage of technical maturity. If you wait a biological ripeness of the fruit, it will lead to a decrease in the yield from every bush. This is a major mistake that not only the beginning of cultivation of pepper lovers, but also experienced gardeners with experience.
