How nice it is to find your favorite varieties in the recommendations; for several years in a row I have been growing Annushka, Vesuvius, Emelya and Blondie. I am very pleased with them, I plant the last one under a film cover. I searched for the ideal options for myself for a long time, tried many zoned varieties and not all of them gave good results. This year I will try something else from the list presented.

How and when to plant in central Russia
The first thing every novice gardener and agrarian needs to remember is that pepper is a heat-loving crop. How and when you plant seedlings in open ground or a greenhouse will determine the period and timing of the growing season, as well as how large and high-quality the harvest will be.
For the middle regions of Russia, farmers offer a list of recommendations that should be used when planting:
- The growing location must be chosen so that it is protected from gusty northern winds.
- The soil for planting bell peppers is prepared in advance, removing it from excess debris and weeds.
- If you are planting peppers in the second stage, pay attention to the fact that the best yields are obtained in those beds where legumes or root crops grew before.
- Before planting, the soil must be loosened, ensuring sufficient drainage, but not overdo it, since the soil must retain the amount of moisture necessary for the plant;
- Add 1 cup of wood ash, 1 tablespoon of potassium sulfate and superphosphate and a teaspoon of urea to each square meter of prepared substrate. It is advisable to do this while digging the beds.
Important! Sweet pepper seedlings are transferred to the open ground of central Russia 5-7 days earlier than tomato seedlings.
As a rule, all varieties and hybrids of sweet peppers have fairly long growing seasons, so it is necessary to sow seeds for seedlings in the middle or end of February. In the second half of May, the seedlings can be transferred to open ground.
For central Russia, there is a standard scheme for planting seedlings - 30x30 cm. If forecasts indicate a possible return of frosts in the air and on the soil, cover the newly transplanted seedlings with plastic, film or special covering material.
