When boarding the Bulgarian pepper, attention should be paid to the following features and nuances:

• vegetable culture is very demanding of heat and lighting, so it is recommended to conduct sowing germinated and processed seeds;
• the timing of seeds is determined by the possibility of disembodies the confined material for a permanent place;
• obtaining a high pepper harvest is possible only when growing a given garden culture on fertile, deeply sanguited, with sufficient humidity level;
• the best pepper predecessors are onions, carrots, as well as legumes;

• it is not recommended to carry out the cultivation of pepper on the ridges after tomatoes, potatoes, or after harvesting eggplants;
• the seedlings should be highlighted as high as possible and protected from the cold northern wind.
• it is best to form ridges on loamy soils with the addition of one bucket of overworked wood sawdust at the stage of deep steaming, as much overwhelming manure and two buckets of peat;
• fresh, non-dried manure for arranging a variety for sweet Bulgarian pepper is not used;
• the standard height of the ridge for growing vegetable culture should be about 25 cm with a width of no more than one meter.

Plants are plunged into the soil to real leaves. The optimal temperature regime for the best survival of pepper seedlings in a permanent location is the indicators at 22-26 ° C. A sharp decrease in temperature contributes to the delay in the growth and development of garden culture.

Features of cultivation

A variety of overseas selection entitled "California Miracle" forms a powerful Habitus and refers to the number of very crop varieties, which requires high-quality and competent vegetable culture care. Of course, care in the greenhouse and the cultivation activities in the conditions of open soil will have some differences, but the main rules for the technology of cultivation of sweet Bulgarian pepper are as follows:

• optimal temperature indicators for full development and normal pepper growth should be 20-25 ° C;
• in the presence of the spots of a lilac shade on the fruits, we can talk about a critical temperature reduction, so it is necessary to use a shelter by film or nonwoven garden material;
• for watering of peppers, a defined or rainwater is used, heated by the sun to a temperature of 24-26 ° C;
• it cannot be allowed both to cut the soil on the ridges and the convergence, which causes a number of diseases of vegetable culture;
• before flowering, peppers need to wip 1-2 times a week, spending about one water bucket for each square meter;
• at the stage of flowering and mass fruiting, watering should be made more frequent, and it is also recommended to increase water consumption by 10%;
• the first feeding is carried out after the appearance of two real leaves by means of a solution of superphosphate, potash fertilizer and ammonium nitrate.

For full development, peppers need regular, but shallow jams that prevent the formation of soil crust and improve the air intake to the root system. The ridge must be kept clean and conduct regular removal of weed vegetation. Moreover, It is necessary to carry out regular landings inspections, And if necessary, process plants by folk remedies or chemical drugs against diseases and defeat the most common pests.

Sweet pepper is often grown on the gardens in connection with its high cost and nutritional value. Pepper California Miracle is one of the most popular landing varieties.

Pepper seeds California miracle before landing are carefully prepared to quickly appear shoots. For this, their 2 hours are kept in warm water (+50 degrees), then wrapped in cotton fabric (gauze, paper napkin) and leave for 1-2 days in the warm place. You can put them at the battery, but in this case every 3 hours it is necessary to check the humidity of the fabric if it dries, it is sprayed with water.

Since the seedlings can damage the sprouts, the seeds are immediately sown in peat or any other cups, with a prepared soil mixture (earth, sand, humus in a 1: 1: 2 ratio). In order to reduce the risk of contamination of seeds with disease, you can add some wood ash to the ground or simply pour the weak solution of mangalls.

Pepper seeds close to the ground to a depth of 1.5 cm and water water. Now the cups remained to cover with a film, you can thin glass, and put into the darkened, warm place. It is important to note that at temperatures up to 18 degrees heat, shoots may not appear!

After the appearance of sprouts, the glass is removed, and crops are exposed to the windowsill, a balcony (desirable south side) and maintain a temperature of 23-26 degrees of heat in the room. Approximately 2-3 weeks before the transplant of Rostov, the permanent place is hardened. In the afternoon for a few hours (2-3 it will be enough) they are put on the street or simply open the window on the balcony. And on the night you need to leave a slightly open window. But it is necessary to do this if there are no strong frosts on the street, otherwise seedlings can freeze.

How and when to plant seedlings in open ground?

Landing into an open ground is carried out in May-June - when there will be stable warm weather on the street without night frosts and significant temperature fluctuations.

Pepper Californian miracle is growing on any type of soil, but best of all, of course, light soil. From autumn or 2 weeks before transplanting, it is prepared, fertilize, dripped. Approximately 1 week before the landing, you can make a copper sulfate to disinfect the land, disintegrate it.

Snakes under the bushes are made according to the 40x40 cm scheme - economically, but convenient for the plant. The same scheme is used for landing in the greenhouse. Nothing is added to the wells if the earth was fertilized in advance. The depth of the sealing of sprouts should be the same as in the pots of which they are pulled out. In this case, it is very convenient to use peat pots, they simply lay them together with the plant - the roots are not damaged.

What is further care?

Now a little about the care of the pepper California miracle, it directly reflects on the yield of each sprout.

What diseases and pests fear?

Diseases and pests significantly reduce the yield of pepper variety California miracle. They carry out prophylactic treatment in the spring, in the middle of the summer, folk remedies or specialized substances, but only when the problem has already manifested itself.

Phytofluorosis, black leg, macrosporiosis, white and vertex rot, septoriasis - those diseases with which every garden growing Bulgarian pepper. It is also worth being prepared for "attacks" of slugs, whiteflies, aphids, a colorado beetle and a bear.

From the Medveda, you can get rid of the bay of the well to the seedlings at the time of water. But it is not always effective - the pest may return. Spraying by any folk remedy (ash, soap solution, in the infusion of serum) can be repeated throughout the season 2-3 times. After spraying, before it or simply from time to time, it is worth "swimming" plants and earth wood ash - this is an excellent disinfectant.

How to collect and keep a crop?

The harvest is collected, consumed and processed as ripening. Some gardeners are collected from the fruits of seeds for landing for the next year. It is quite realistic to implement, but it is worth resorting to tricks to get a varietal culture, and not a mixture.

With the development of the pepper, the Californian miracle is often replicated with other varieties, changing the quality of the fruit obtained, but this can be avoided. Selected busting is usually breached for collecting seeds. With the advent of buds, it is worth covering it with a small greenhouse so that it does not cross with the "neighbors". After the appearance of the barriers, the shelter is removed. Fruits from this bush and can be used to collect seeds, they will fully match the variety.

After another 15-25 days, peppers will become red, yellow or orange. Then you can talk about the full biological maturity of the vegetable.

Tip!To get the maximum harvest, peppers need to be separated at the technical stage of maturation. In this case, additional ovary will be formed.

Thus, the root plant system will not be damaged and this process can be carried out without prejudice to seedlings.

Important! Watch that when transshipment, the bushes did not plunge into the ground, their root cerv should be at the level with the soil.

The first month of development of seedlings is necessary to water it very carefully, especially if the room is relatively cool. But on providing good coverage to seedlings. Light day should last at least 12 hours, so it is necessary to organize additional highlighting fluorescent lamps. The first feeder is carried out when 2-4 real leaves appear in the seedlings.
