Which pepper is considered unpretentious?

Pepper varieties that are considered unpretentious are:

• can be grown both in open and closed soil. Yields should not vary greatly due to cultivation location;
• exhibit disease resistance to bacterial and viral diseases. Of course, not all varieties have full immunity to all diseases, but a plant from the unpretentious group should be resistant to at least several types of diseases;

• resistant to changes in weather conditions. If the outside temperature decreases or increases, the plants should respond normally. The pepper should not stop growing or die completely;
• undemanding when it comes to fertilizing in order to form large and juicy fruits;
• should be drought-resistant, but there are very few such varieties, so if the plant tolerates heat well with moderate watering, then this can be equated to drought resistance.

To reduce pepper care, choose determinate varieties that do not need to be pinched and tied to a support. The advantage of indeterminate varieties is their high yield, but they must be pinched and tied up; this is the only way to get the maximum benefit from the plant.

Requirements for choosing a pepper variety and where to grow it

Most summer residents grow vegetable varieties of sweet peppers (description and photo below). Choosing the best variety is difficult; the question is where exactly the pepper will be grown and for what purpose (for salads or canning, or maybe for seeds). In open ground, the following are important for growing these vegetables:

Characteristics of the variety

• Bush height.
• Maturation period.
• Wall thickness.
• Weight.

The correct choice of place for planting pepper in open ground will determine the future success of its cultivation.

Requirements for this area

• Sunny side, with a long period of natural light (no shade).
• Protection of plants from the wind (for example, a small fence).
• The predecessors for planting these vegetables cannot be nightshade crops (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants); Several diseases that are harmful to vegetables can be soil-borne.
• The soil needs to be drained (here we talk about water drainage itself), fertile, and retain moisture well.

But, you should always remember that the same varieties of peppers in a greenhouse, as a rule, give a greater yield than in the open ground of a summer cottage, so decide and choose for yourself where to grow the plants.

How to plant the best variety "Lumina"

This variety of pepper is considered the most common among others. The bush does not grow tall, and the weight of one pepper does not exceed 115 grams. It is distinguished from the previous variety by its slightly golden color or light green with a slight shade of pink. The shape of the pepper is cone-shaped, and the wall thickness of the pepper is on average 6 mm. It does not give a strong pronounced aroma, and the taste is sweetish with an admixture of water.

“Lumina” - this variety is most often grown by gardeners due to its unpretentiousness to the soil. This is also what they most often sell in stores. This pepper variety grows well even in dry summers and does not require frequent watering. But sometimes such care of peppers leads to the fact that they turn out to have a slightly bitter taste and a spicy taste. As for the preservation of pepper, it can retain its taste and appearance for 3 months.

Names of the best popular varieties of peppers for open ground (description, photo)

California miracle

A mid-season variety of red or yellow peppers that are ready for harvest 130 days after sowing. Bushes of plants with a height of 70 cm and cube-shaped fruits weighing up to 160 grams are unpretentious and grow well in open ground. Peppers have a shiny, thin and smooth skin that can be either green or deep red. We plant vegetable bushes according to a 40 by 40 cm pattern. In this case, its yield reaches 10 kg per square meter. California miracle is used for salads, canning and stewing.

"Triton"

This pepper variety is considered one of the earliest. It tolerates bad weather conditions very well. The variety can be grown well in southern Siberia. It tolerates temperature changes well, as well as prolonged rainfalls. Even in such conditions it produces a very good harvest. Weight is about 130 grams.

The difference between this variety is that one bush can grow from 35 to 45 peppers. Externally, they have a slightly cone-shaped round shape. The walls of the pepper are not thick, about 6 mm. The taste is very sweet and aromatic. The color range here is from orange to red. If you want to get a good harvest, then you need to trim the first ovary. If this is not done, then the bush can slow down in its development. As a result, the number will decrease.
