It's time to sow peppers! I tell you how I grow strong seedlings in an apartment and get an excellent harvest

It's time to sow peppers! I want to share my experience in growing bell peppers.

If the seeds are old - they have been lying for three years, soak them in snow water, at night, and in the morning I sow.

A good (not sour) soil for peppers is the key to success, in such a substrate the root system grows well and the plant itself develops quickly.

It is desirable that the soil contains vermicompost (you can add humus or sifted compost), plus add a tenth of the volume of wood ash to the sand.

In general, good leaf compost is a wonderful thing, dear gardeners!

I usually sow peppers in plastic pots or boxes with hot-nail holes. I fill it with a substrate, spill it with hot water, let it soak in, tamp it with my fingers and lay out the seeds with a sense, feeling, arrangement.

It comes out in a square-nested way 2 x 2.

I fall asleep 1 cm of the substrate and again slap it with my palm (so that they do not run far), this is done so that the seeds get rid of their shell in time. I wrap each box in a bag (there are a lot of them left over from purchases, I reuse the bags). I put the boxes and pots on the windowsill.

The germination temperature of peppers is 25 - 27 degrees. At this temperature, peppers sown with dry seeds germinate in 5-6 days.

If the temperature is lower, they will take longer to germinate. As soon as the first loops appear, I put the peppers under the lamps for 14 hours a day and lower the temperature to 20 degrees during the day and a little less at night.

Now all that remains is to water, highlight and wait.

I do not feed if there is vermicompost in the soil.

In the phase of 2 true leaves, the peppers are transplanted into 200 ml glasses. And after a while in half-liter or liter. It is noticed that the larger the volume, the faster the seedlings grow.

Thus, a good seedling of peppers with the right soil can be grown in 60 days, and a tomato in 40!

At the transshipment stage, the peppers can be buried. I do the first feeding 10 days after the peppers have been transshipped with a complex mineral fertilizer with a small amount of nitrogen.

I do the first hardening during the day with the help of open vents, then, as it gets warmer outside, I take out the seedlings in a shaded place, protected from the winds, cover them agrofibre, and I put it in at night (yes, fuss, but I notice how for a while the peppers stop growing up and begin to grow fat, become more powerful, the leaves become dark green).

Peppers are eaters and gourmets. When planting, I must put a handful (scoop) of vermicompost, compost and ash into the hole.

Sweet pepper Mom's Care - cognitive, but how harvest! It lies well in the vestibule in the box, it is ripened. Delicious, peppery taste and aroma.

I also grow eggplant seedlings, but I prefer to sow directly into individual houses - 100 g glasses. I do not soak eggplant seeds.

Be sure to follow the cleanliness of windows and sills!

Sweet pepper Montana. Medium early. At first it looks like Belozerka, then turns orange, and then turns red. Delicious.
