Shares experience A.V. PIROGOV, Tomsk. Pepper is capricious, but you can deal with it. A lot of light, heat, water, and, of course, love! Then even the bitter pepper will become sweet!

Last year, I broke several beds for peppers. Planted in rows: bitter pepper, sweet pepper, etc. Harvested wonderful. And here is the first test; made a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers and sweet peppers - ate a spoonful, and a fire in your mouth! The husband shouts: "Yes, you mixed up the pepper, instead of sweet, you plucked the hot pepper." Are you kidding! I’m going to the garden again, I’m tearing another pepper, I’m trying - and it’s bitter, I won’t take it in my mouth! What kind of jokes? For comparison, I picked a hot pepper - but it turned out to be sweet! It turns out that these cultures inter pollinate themselves. And plant different species need to be away from each other. At least through the garden, and preferably through two.

But if there are different varieties nearby, for example, sweet pepper, it is even better, the yield is greater. When the pepper blooms, and the weather is calm, I act as the wind: gently shake the trellis, pollinate.

Let there be light

Pepper in the garden I take away the brightest place. Otherwise, it makes no sense to plant: it will stretch, few fruits will be tied. And I plant densely on a bed of pepper: at a distance of about 25 cm from each other, when they grow up, they will support themselves. But the aisles are wide (at least 60 cm). Then peppers from all sides of the world.

When fruit is tied, I put a peg or trellis along each row in each plant. I tie not only the stems, but also the branches.

Favorite pepper temperature is 20-25 °. Therefore, it always grows in my greenhouse. If something is not right with the temperature, the pepper lets you know - lilac shades appear on the fruits.

A special topic is watering. The plant loves water, but it is too bad to overdo it, both flowers and ovaries will fall. Watering according to the cucumber scheme. Often little by little. Drop watering is very good for pepper.

They recommend peppers to be loosened, but I do not. Its root is superficial, it can be damaged, instead mulch the soil with straw or grass. The layer is about 7-10 cm, then the earth is loose, and the moisture is kept, and there are less weeds.

Trim the pepper or not, then everyone has their own best practices. I cut off all the leaves and shoots to the first fork. I leave three or four stems, from them I select the two strongest and tie them up. The remaining shoots are without garter. From them I collect the first fruits.

Garlic Against Aphids

The main enemies of peppers are aphids and slugs. I have two recipes against them. I use them in turn.

First: I take 200-250 g of ash in a bucket, pour hot, but not boiling water.

Second: I put chopped garlic, onions and dandelion leaves in a bucket. I insist both solutions for one or two days. Then each separately mix and filter. Before use, add 30-40 g of liquid soap (preferably without perfume fragrances). I charge the solutions into the atomizer and spray directly on the leaves, alternating the solutions.

From slugs, scatter dry mustard or red pepper around the stems (about 1 tsp. Per 1 sq. M).

Flowering during the flowering period

On a barrel: 5-6 kg of chopped nettle leaves, coltsfoot, woodlice, dandelion, plantain, 10 l of rotted cow manure, 10 tbsp. l ashes. I fill everything with water, mix and insist for a week. Watering at the rate of 1 liter per 1 plant.

Fertilizing during fruiting

On a barrel: 5 liters of bird droppings, 10 liters of cow rotted manure. Pour water, mix, insist 4-5 days. I feed at the rate of 5-6 liters per 1 sq. m. The interval between top dressing is at least 10 days.

Make a diagnosis

• The stems are lignified, leaves, flowers and ovaries fall - fever, little moisture and light.
• Stopping growth, no flowering and no ovaries - low temperature, watering with cold water, little light.
• Crooked fruits - incomplete pollination of flowers.

malevolent vindictive (St. Petersburg)

It's very simple - the fruits of bell peppers grow as a result of cross-pollination. Quite often the plantings of bell peppers are adjacent to the plantings of red hot pepper. As a result of the movement of flying insects participating in pollination, the Bulgarian pepper is fertilized with pollen of hot pepper. And since the gene is responsible for Since hotness dominates (sweet pepper is a culture of artificial origin), sometimes sweet pepper becomes hot, but at the same time retains its previous appearance. The party ...

To get rid of excess food leftovers more efficiently, you need to pay attention to nutrition, daily routine and physical activity. Often people observe only the last two points, but alas, they forget about the first. The result is colic, constipation or frequent urge. The intestines should work continuously, emptying after each meal. If a failure occurs, it is enough to eat a piece of meat or fish, in which seasoning is added - a red hot pepper.
