The first fruits are collected in August. Bulgarian pepper resistant to frost, so it continues to bloom and bear fruit until the first frost.

The variety is suitable for growing in open ground and greenhouses.

This variety has virtually no flaws. According to gardeners, there are only two of them:

1. It is afraid of drought , therefore it needs regular watering;
2. Does not bear on dark areas.

Planting seeds, growing plants

Fruiting period of a vegetable is quite long, so it can be grown only seedlings. Seeds can be different: both their own collection and acquired.

Existing seeds should be sorted, selecting only large and intact - this is a visual stage. Then it is necessary to make a rejection with saline. In 1000 ml of water we add 40 grams of table salt, carefully re-mash and drop the previously selected seeds. Move the solution again. Raw materials suitable for sowing will be at the bottom of the tank, unsuitable seeds will float.

Rejecting pepper seeds in salt solution

Wash the selected seed thoroughly with water and disinfect with a weak manganese solution. Then put on germination, spread out on a thoroughly soaked cotton cloth. The fabric is folded in several layers above and below the seed. Sprouting is carried out for 7 days of , the fabric must be constantly moistened.

The room should be warm, in this case, the seedlings will appear in a week and can be planted in containers prepared for this.

Pepper is very afraid of the fungus, so seedlings need to be sanitized with .Seeds are placed at a distance of 2 centimeters from each other, the top layer of the earth is not more than one centimeter.

To create a greenhouse effect, seedling containers are covered with a film. As soon as the first shoots appear, the film is removed, and the containers are exposed to a well-lit place at a room temperature not lower than 17 degrees.

Sowing pepper seeds in an

container After about 30 days, a plant is obtained that has an 3-4 shaped leaflet and a good rhizome .It is at this moment worth transplanting seedlings into separate containers. You can choose peat cups or plastic. When transplanting it is important not to affect the root system, otherwise the plant will be sick for a long time. Strongly sapling is not worth deepening.

Not worth seedlings located in the bright sun, it can outgrow. We make a slight darkening.

Pepper seedlings are fed twice:

• The first time 14 days after the first shoots;
• The second time two weeks after the first feeding.

Seedlings at the age of 2-2.5 months after preliminary hardening are planted in a permanent growth place. Hardening is carried out for two to three weeks. For this, cups of plants are taken out of the room to the open air from the beginning for 30 minutes, and then every day we increase the time to full days.

Planting of pepper in open ground

Planting in open ground is made according to the scheme - 40 centimeters between plants, 60 centimeters between rows .Some gardeners prefer to plant two plants in one hole. Directly at the landing in the recess, fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium can be applied.

Then the pepper needs to be watered every time the soil dries out and more often to loosen the ground. Pepper likes nitrogen fertilizers, , therefore it can be fed twice a month with diluted chicken manure in a ratio of 1 to 10.

The result is a strong, green shrub that must be tied to a trellis.

The most dangerous pests:

1. Aphis .This pest can cover the entire plant and destroy it in a couple of days. For prophylaxis and during infection, one can use Karbofos solution in the proportion of 25 ml per 10 l of water;
2. Slugs .These pests are destroyed by frequent loosening of the soil around the seedlings. For prevention, you can sprinkle the ground with wood ash and dry bitter pepper;
