We all love peppers. They are unusual - large, cube-shaped, sweet, with thick walls. Superda4nik.ru wants to advise on the best bell pepper seeds to choose for planting so that tasty and aromatic fruits grow.

In central Russia, growing pepper is only possible by seedlings, since the ripening period of pepper is longer than our summer, so early and mid-early varieties of sweet pepper are interesting.

Agricultural companies that are engaged in breeding new varieties of pepper and seeds, such as Gavrish, SeDek, recommend planting pepper hybrids rather than varieties.

What is the difference between a hybrid and a variety?

A variety is the result of selection. All his genes are identical and like two peas in a pod, similar to his parents. The variety is selected and adapted to a specific climate and location. When pollinated, it produces seeds of the same variety. You can get seeds from the variety. For this purpose, the most characteristic and best fruits are selected from the most developed bushes.

A hybrid is the result of crossing. The effect is obtained by a certain combination of parents. Hybrids are much superior to their parents in growth vigor and productivity, sometimes showing very unique properties. But it is impossible to get seeds from them; most often they will look like unremarkable grandparents.

It is very easy to distinguish a pepper variety from a hybrid. The hybrid bag will say F1. This means that it is a first generation hybrid.

The germination of the pepper did not produce any special emotions, everything went as usual, maybe it requires a little more water at the stage of the appearance of the first flowers than ordinary seedlings. But at the landing stage everything went much better than usual. Of the 10 plants planted, 9 took root in the ground (this is taking into account that I used special soil for seedlings, which is generally wrong). The tenth one also resisted for a long time, but it was my fault I didn’t keep an eye on him. Then everything went like clockwork, I mean like clockwork. Leaves, beautiful flowers and fruits.

Bell peppers are the same common vegetable crop in our areas as tomatoes and cucumbers. Today, hybrid varieties of varieties have been created that can be grown in open ground in almost all climatic zones of Russia, excluding only the northern regions of the country.

But still, when planting different types of pepper, it is recommended to focus on those varieties that are zoned in your area.

It is for this reason that my first experiments with pepper varieties led to failure. Direct sunlight, heat, and constant wind led to the fact that all the ovaries of the peppers fell off.

The best hybrids

Hybrids of vegetable crops have improved qualities. This can be either the size and shape of plants and fruits, increased immunity to specific diseases, or resistance to not the best growing conditions. However, they have one significant drawback: they deprive gardeners of the opportunity to independently harvest planting material for the next season, since the mother plant does not transmit its characteristics when propagated by seeds.

Varieties and hybrids for growing in Siberia

The climate in Siberia is characterized not only by low temperatures and somewhat short summers, but also by its unpredictability. One garden season can be excellent for the growth of this heat-loving crop, delighting with heat and sun for quite a long period. Another summer may be rainy and chilly with rare sunny days. Therefore, when choosing sweet pepper varieties for Siberia, you should give preference to:

• zoned specimens that manage to ripen during a short warm period of time;
• early ripening specimens, the growing season of which does not exceed 110 days;
• vegetables that do well in greenhouses.

About 400 varieties of sweet vegetables have now been bred for cultivation in harsh conditions. The best of them can be called:

Red-fruited: Early miracle, Firstborn of Siberia, Kolobok, Lastochka, Atlant, Topolin, Viking, Alyosha Popovich.

Orange: Siberian bonus, Orange miracle.

Varieties and hybrids for growing in the Moscow region

For the Moscow region, you can look for many original varieties and hybrids of sweet bell peppers. Even if the season does not bring joy with plenty of sun and warmth, peppers grown in greenhouses will produce a lot of juicy and aromatic fruits. And in good year, an excellent harvest can also be obtained from bushes grown in open ground.

When choosing a variety or hybrid, you should use several rules:

• There is no need to plant vegetables bred for southern latitudes; in the conditions of the Moscow region they will give a poor harvest.
• It is worth considering reliable, unpretentious varieties, even if their yield is average.
• If you want something exotic, you can plant several bushes for testing, and expect the main harvest from proven samples.

According to reviews experienced summer residents The following varieties and hybrids of bell peppers are suitable for cultivation near Moscow:

Red-fruited: Winnie the Pooh, Agapovsky, Bogatyr, Swallow, Kolobok, Chardash, Funtik.

Yellow-fruited: Gemini F1, Apricot Favorite, Bugai, Golden Reserve.

Purple: Bagheera, Big Daddy.

Orange: Orange miracle, Siberian bonus.

Planting in open ground becomes a test for any seedling, especially pepper seedlings. But precisely in natural environment the plant acquires a characteristic taste and aroma, compensating for any risks and efforts of the gardener. On open ground peppers:

• do not experience a lack of sunlight;
• “breathe” fresh, constantly circulating air;
• are less likely to be exposed to diseases and the negative effects of pests.

Experienced summer residents begin preparing pepper seedlings at the end of February. In order for the autumn harvest to be a success, it is important to choose seeds that are suitable for a specific area and meet the wishes of the gardener himself.

What are the differences between peppers for open garden beds?

When growing peppers outside a greenhouse for the first time, it is better to make a list of requirements for the variety in advance:

• Appearance. The fruits are long, flattened and even round, and can have a cone or “barrel” shape.
• Size. Small peppers are convenient for stuffing; they can be pickled whole. But one giant fruit is enough to feed a whole family with fresh vegetable salad.
• Color. The palette of shades is not limited to traditional carmine, burgundy, yellow or green. In the garden beds there are fruits of all colors of the rainbow, even black and white.
• Wall thickness. The thicker the crust, the more pulp inside. Thick-walled peppers are good for rolling, while thin-walled peppers are easier to stuff.
• Taste and aroma. Some prefer to grow sweet ones, others cannot do without spicy ones. Even regular bell peppers vary in sugar content and can be neutral in taste or “sour.”

Where do you grow peppers on your property?

GreenhouseOpen ground

All of these are subjective characteristics that will help you figure out what exactly a summer resident wants to get from pepper seedlings. To select the best varieties of pepper for open ground according to objective criteria, take into account:

• bush height;
• its spreading nature;
• root depth;
• resistance to diseases and pests;
• growing needs;
• sensitivity to weather conditions.

Seeds are varietal and hybrid. The first are obtained through selection - these are plants adapted to a specific region. From them grow fruits with approximately identical characteristics with seeds that can be used for seedlings in the future.

Hybrid seeds are the result of crossing different species. They are designated F1 and are not tied to specific conditions. It is more difficult to grow hybrids, but they are less likely to get sick and produce a stable, predictable yield. Seeds from the fruit are not suitable for sowing.

When growing peppers in open beds, it is better to use varietal zoned seeds. Firstly, this will help save money in the future, and secondly, they are initially adapted to the terrain.

Another important criterion choice - the period of fruit ripening. Peppers are late and early. The latter are divided into ultra- and mid-early. If you plant several different varieties in one area, you can ensure a stable supply fresh vegetables for the whole season. There are plants that tolerate transplanting well from soil to pot and continue to bear fruit literally on the windowsill almost all winter.

TOP 7 varieties of bell pepper for the largest harvest

Every summer resident dreams of overtaking his neighbors in terms of harvest. But the yield of peppers (like other vegetables) is determined at the gene level. The plant is simply not capable of producing a result greater than what it was “programmed” by nature and breeders. If the purpose of planting is to obtain fruits for harvesting, and even more so for sale, it is better to choose high-yielding varieties.

Pinocchio – 10.5-13.2 kg/m2

This variety is zoned in the North-Western, Central and Black Earth regions. The fruits ripen early and are ready for consumption 88-100 days after emergence.

Pinocchio does not like cold water; before watering, it is left to sit in the sun. In order for the crop to ripen on time, you need to maintain soil moisture at the root. During the flowering stage, the bushes are watered every 3 days.

Red Buratino peppers are large, weigh up to 120 g, and have a cone-shaped shape without hard ribs. Yield rates are up to 98%. They are eaten fresh, used for freezing, rolling and preparing hot dishes.

Charm – up to 12 kg/m2

This is one of the largest hybrids, which guarantees a bountiful harvest even when seedlings are placed closely in the garden bed. In less than three months, the fruits are ready to eat, but it is advisable to let them ripen for a few more weeks so that the peppers acquire a bright red color.

The seeds grow into a semi-spreading bush of medium height. With a pulp thickness of up to 5.5 millimeters, the fruit weighs about 100 grams.

Atlantic – 8-10 kg/m2

There is no mention of this variety in the official register in Russia, but Atlantic is well known to summer residents. Pepper grows on strong bushes about a meter high and produces up to 10 kilograms of fruit from each square meter of plot in less than three months after planting.

The weight of large peppers reaches 200 grams. The stem does not always withstand such a load and requires obligatory garter.

Atlantic seeds produce long 20-centimeter peppercorns with fleshy walls up to 10 millimeters thick. They are happily used for stuffing, put into lecho and canned vegetable slices. If you do not disturb the watering regime and weed the beds, the bushes bear fruit for a long time and abundantly.

Kazbek and Comet - up to 7.6 kg/m2

Very productive and hardy hybrids that remain viable even in cold weather. Technological ripeness usually occurs 110 days after the seeds have sprouted first.

110-140 gram peppers grow on tall (more than 1 meter) compact bushes and look smooth and even. Despite the rather thick 8-mm walls, this variety keeps the skin tender, not inferior to imported analogues in taste.

Red pearl – 6-7.5 kg/m2

Initially, the variety was developed for greenhouse cultivation, but in the south of the country the seeds can be planted directly in the open air. These are delicious peppers with a rich flavor that are easy to store after harvest. Large 110-140 gram fruits are ready for consumption on the 110th day, but they become marketable later - after another couple of weeks.

Ararat – 6.4-7.2 kg/m2

For a mid-early pepper variety, only 112 days are enough for the first shoots to turn into strong, tall bushes with technically mature fruits. Ripe peppers have a rich red color and weigh up to 140 grams.

The plant grows well in dry soil and is distinguished by uniform yield. Peppers are stored for a long time and do not lose their presentation during transportation.

Rating of the best early varieties of pepper

It is important for many gardeners that the plant produces finished products as quickly as possible after sowing. Based on the amount of time it takes the seedlings to form fruits corresponding to the concept of technical ripeness, there are three types of rapid ripening seeds:

1. ultra-early – up to 100 days;
2. early – up to 120 days;
3. mid-early – up to 135 days.

All peppers that ripen later are classified as late. They will take at least 136 days to become ready to eat.

In different regions, the beginning of the fruiting period may vary by 3-4 weeks. The time indicated by manufacturers on the packaging is determined from the moment of germination. For example, if the seeds sprouted at the beginning of spring, then the harvest will not ripen until July.

The following varieties are most often used for open ground:

Usually the seeds are sown in late February and transferred to open ground in May. In order for the plant to receive more nutrition, the side shoots and lower leaves are torn off and the bush is tied up. Experienced gardeners It is recommended to plant early peppers according to a 40x60 centimeter pattern.

The largest and brightest peppers

If large peppers are used less often for stuffing, then they are ideal for salads, fresh mixed vegetables and seasonal twists. In addition to their large size, the multi-colored fruits look very attractive and have fleshy walls that are centimeter thick. The weight of such “strong ones” often exceeds 200 grams. Depending on their own wishes, gardeners can choose varieties of any color and ripening period.

Red-fruited

According to official data from the State Register alone, there are more than seven hundred sweet varieties of red pepper.

Three of them are especially popular among experienced summer residents and beginners:

Frosts often occur before peppers reach biological maturity. In such cases, the fruits are picked while they are still green or yellow, but this does not affect the taste of the pepper.

Yellow-fruited

Yellow peppers are not as sweet as red ones, but contain a rich supply important elements. These fruits are rich in potassium and phosphorus and supply the body with vitamin C.

Another plus is unpretentiousness. It is easier to grow yellow peppers if you choose proven seeds:

Exotic

Experienced summer residents love to experiment with their crops. For example, having gained experience with the usual red, green and yellow peppers, many try to grow unusual black and white cultivars in the garden.

Stable good feedback four varieties of peppers of exotic colors are obtained:

1. Cardinal– the harvest can be harvested 3 months after the appearance of strong shoots. At this stage, the fruits have a deep purple color, and later turn red. Cardinal produces large 9-10 cm cube-shaped peppers with thick, fleshy walls. They weigh about 270 grams. Up to 13 kilograms of vegetables per 1 m2 are collected from open beds. This pepper is good fresh, retains its taste when frozen and canned.
2. Black horse– reaches full biological ripeness within four months. The color of the skin is dark, often purple, reminiscent of the color of eggplant. It is not difficult to care for the bushes; they do not need to be shaped - just a garter with support is enough. The shape of the fruits of the Black Horse does not differ from the Cardinal, but the peppers are smaller, weighing up to 200 grams. You can plant four plants on one “square”, getting up to 7 kilograms of harvest.
3. Fidelio– produces beautiful silver-white peppercorns with unusually tender flesh. The fruits ripen early and do not require complex cultivation. Dense egg capsules in cross-section demonstrate juicy pulp, in which iridescent sugar crystals are visible. Some people prefer to freeze the original pepper, while others eat it exclusively fresh.
4. Ultraviolet– at the stage of biological maturation it acquires a dark color with purple tint. These are tasty early ripening fruits with thick centimeter walls of pulp that set well and are not at all afraid of frost. The pulp contains a large supply of beta-carotene and is useful for visual impairment.

The listed hybrids differ from their “comrades” not only in appearance. It is believed that such plants get sick less often and cope better with unfavorable conditions.
