Varieties of thick-walled sweet pepper for open ground

Thick-walled sweet peppers are excellent juicy fruits that you can grow yourself even in open ground. Of course, you will have to adhere to certain growing rules, since pepper is a heat-loving crop, and our climate is not always suitable for it. Let's talk in more detail about growing conditions and which varieties have the thickest fruit wall.

Conditions for growing sweet peppers in open ground

From the moment the first shoots appear in pepper crops until the fruits ripen, a fairly long period passes: on average, 110-125 days. Provided that all this time the temperature should be about +20 degrees, in some Russian regions summer residents understand that this is impossible. Such a long summer is found only in the south; moreover, the pepper crop is extremely demanding on the abundance of sunlight.

Important! The optimal temperature for growing sweet peppers is +26-30 degrees.Some varieties stop developing if it gets colder than +15 outside.

However, there is a way out of the situation. The process of growing peppers is divided into three separate stages:

selection and sowing of seeds;
growing seedlings at home;
planting seedlings in open ground.

This method is called “seedling” and is appropriate both in central Russia and in the south. Now let's move directly to varieties of sweet peppers with a thick wall.
