Varieties of thick-walled sweet peppers for open ground

Thick-walled bell peppers are excellent juicy fruits that can be grown on their own even outdoors. Of course, you will have to adhere to certain growing rules, since pepper is a thermophilic culture, and our climate is not always acceptable for it. Let's talk in more detail about the growing conditions and which varieties have the thickest fruit walls.

Conditions for growing sweet peppers in the open field

From the moment the first shoots of a pepper crop appear until the fruits ripen, a rather long period passes: on average, it is 110-125 days. Provided that all this time the temperature should be on the order of +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 culture is extremely demanding on the abundance of sunlight.

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

However, there is a way out of the situation. The pepper growing process is divided into three distinct 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 go directly to varieties of sweet peppers with a thick wall.
