Yellow pepper tomato - a very enviable variety
I received the seeds of this tomato thanks to participation in a competition on our website, manufacturer Gardens of Russia.
Gardens of Russia provided them with seeds! Seed supply 2022 is my prize! At first I just wanted to write a mini-report on tomatoes, but I couldn’t contain my emotions and decided to make it a separate post. Moreover, there is a reason))
Tomato "Pepper yellow F1"
I love exotic varieties, but not growing them, but reading about them, I’m always afraid of disappointment. But desire always wins... I just think for a long time..
It’s like this with every plant in the garden: first I think, I doubt, then I buy and wait impatiently... yes, there are disappointments, but this does not give me a reason to give up, I go to the goal again and again and 90% of 100% achieve the goal.
And then an exotic type of tomato for me fell into my hands with a set of seeds.
Bunches of tomato "Pepper yellow F1"
My hands were not only itching to plant, they were already twitching in anticipation)) I sowed the seeds, the germination was 100%, and now the seedlings are taking root in the greenhouse...
And then the attack... The best plants were slammed by the roof from the fallen greenhouse, they all fell, and with a sinking heart I raked the plants spread out on the ground.
Capsicums are tied
The plants eventually came to their senses a little - after about a couple of weeks, and this is lost time, a late harvest.
The month of August was spoiled with rain, heat and scorching heat, and here I am reporting.
Now the “Pepper” tomato has come into its own, has begun to actively set fruit, there are no huge clusters, but I don’t need it!
Here are tomatoes from one bunch
I know for sure that if it weren’t for the cataclysm, there would have been more abundant bunches, but I’m already happy, I’ve already tried mine and sealed them in jars...
The plants are powerful, tall, or rather in my case, about two meters long. I have already managed to collect about 6 kg of fruit from one plant.
And how wonderful they are))) The color is bright yellow,
Corresponds to the description
very attractive in appearance, and the taste is simply amazing! How convenient it is to close it for the winter! There are practically no voids in the bank!
Yes, it’s a salad variety, but I couldn’t resist and rolled up the jars of tomatoes for the winter))
Ripening in the sun For all those who doubt it, like me, I write - everything is much simpler than we think)) They are just tomatoes, albeit not of a standard shape!
The Yellow Pepper tomato is a hybrid variety and is so called because of its resemblance to peppers. The average weight of one tomato ranges from 50 to 80 grams. The fruits ripen 15 centimeters in length. This variety is distinguished by its meatiness and small number of seeds.
I didn’t get 15 centimeter fruits, because I don’t grow tomatoes and don’t shape them, I just tear off the leaves that prevent the fruits from filling and the lower leaves, remove the sick and frayed ones))
In the context
I grow tomatoes only in a greenhouse, since in the open ground strong winds break the plants, I fertilize only with an infusion of chicken manure, or even simpler - I put small chickens in the greenhouse, they are warm and spacious there, and here they fertilize me there as best they can, I just water once a week or less))
The young chicks completely destroy the weeds; only then I put hay or grass under the plants, and that’s all the care.

Features of cultivation
Pepper striped is grown by seedlings:
- Sowing of seeds is carried out in early March. Purchased grains do not require processing.
- Prepare containers with a side height of 15–25 cm. The containers are doused with boiling water or a solution of potassium permanganate.
- Mix soil, peat, sand, compost, add superphosphate. Land for sowing seeds can be purchased at the store.
- The containers are filled with substrate. Make furrows 1 cm deep and sow tomatoes.
- The soil surface is moistened and covered with film. After the emergence of shoots, it is removed.
- When the third leaf appears, the seedlings are picked.
The seedlings are watered every other day, and nitrogen is added a week before removal to the greenhouse or hotbed.
Seedlings are planted at two months of age. Approximately from mid-May. Place the tomato in a furrow or a separate hole, the bottom is first covered with a layer of humus. Deepen the seedlings to the top leaves at an angle so that the stem touches the soil. Fall asleep and water. 3–4 plants are placed per 1 m2.
Growing variety:
- Regular removal of weeds and loosening of the soil. To eliminate this procedure, the root circle is mulched.
- Pinching and tying to a support.
- Water so that the soil does not dry out, but there is no stagnation of water.
- Fertilize with organic matter. During flowering, phosphorus is added, when tomatoes begin to ripen - potassium.
- Two weeks before harvest, all fertilizing is stopped.
Disembarkation and care
Before transplanting, seedlings are hardened off. To do this, take it out into the air for 10 days. Thanks to this procedure, she will tolerate the transplant more easily and adapt to new conditions faster. The holes are dug at a distance of at least 40 centimeters, and superphosphate or ash is added to each. When planting, the stem should be deepened into the ground approximately 2 centimeters and covered with soil. Also, when planting, supports are installed, to which the plants are tied as they grow.
To obtain the maximum yield, it is necessary to provide the crop with good care, including regular watering 1-2 times a week depending on the weather; a drip irrigation system is considered optimal for tomatoes. Loosening of the soil is carried out once every two weeks. Feeding is also important for this variety; you can use compost or mullein solution, as well as mineral fertilizers. The first time they are fed after 14 days, then every 3-4 weeks. The application of nitrogen-containing fertilizers is advisable only at the initial stages, after which they need to be replaced with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. They are especially necessary during the period of flowering and formation of ovaries.
Important! Fertilizing tomatoes with chlorine-containing preparations can negatively affect the plants.
If the bushes are planted in a greenhouse, it must be regularly ventilated and air humidity controlled, otherwise fungal diseases cannot be avoided. Many gardeners advise mulching the soil with straw or dry grass; this will help retain moisture, prevent the growth of weeds and provide additional fertilizer.
Important! Both excess and lack of moisture in the soil leads to the appearance of blossom end rot and the development of late blight.
They form bushes with 1-2 stems, this promotes earlier fruiting and a bountiful harvest.
Pepper orange
The first tomatoes ripen after 90 days (early ripening variety). You get 8-9 kg of tomatoes per m². Although it is planted in open ground, greater yields can be achieved when grown in a greenhouse. The stems grow up to 1.5 m in height. The fruits are orange-yellow, oblong, each weighing 150-300 g, rich in vitamins and carotene. Orange tomatoes are salted and preserved whole.
Growing seedlings
On the territory of the Russian Federation, tomatoes are grown in seedlings. In order for the seedlings to be strong and resilient, a lot of effort must be made. The seed material is carefully selected; first, the seeds are sorted by hand, then soaked in a 5% saline solution; empty, unusable seeds will rise to the surface, good ones will remain at the bottom. After selection, you can disinfect them with a 1% manganese solution for 30 minutes. As a rule, manufacturers do this on their own, but excess processing will not harm, because it kills pathogens of fungal, bacterial and viral infections. If you germinate the seeds before planting, then the sprouts will appear on the surface of the earth much earlier.
Interesting! In order for the seeds to become more hardy, they are moistened in aloe juice.
The soil is also prepared in advance. To make it, turf soil, peat, sand and humus are used. If it was made in the fall, during the winter it is taken out into the cold, then brought into the warmth. Before sowing, such a soil mixture must be spilled with a hot solution of manganese or calcined in the oven. A few days before sowing, the soil must be moistened.
Sowing of seeds is carried out 65 days before planting seedlings in the soil. The soil is poured into boxes or separate containers; the latter option is much more convenient, since the plants will not need to be picked in the future. If the seeds are planted in a common container, grooves are made in the moist soil, the seed is placed in them, and then crushed with earth. At first, water the future seedlings with a spray bottle so that the seeds do not move.
The optimal temperature before emergence is 23-25 degrees, after which it is reduced by several units. To prevent seedlings from stretching out, you need to provide good lighting. The seedlings are placed on the windowsill on the sunny side and, if necessary, illuminated with a lamp. As a rule, 2 weeks after the sprouts appear, the seedlings produce the first leaves; the presence of 2-3 pieces indicates the need for picking.
It is advisable to take 500 ml containers; they will have enough space for the development of the root system. You need to replant young seedlings very carefully, because they are very easy to damage. After approximately 5-6 weeks, the first flower cluster will begin to form on the seedlings, and at this time they can already be transferred to their permanent habitat. If seedlings are grown correctly, they have thick stems, large foliage and powerful roots.
