As a rule, bell peppers are one of the first vegetables to be planted as seedlings – in the first half of February.

According to the expert of the online publication Belnovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , a good age from sowing seeds to planting in a greenhouse or open ground is 80-85 days.

With such early seedlings, you can get 2 waves of harvest per season - of course, if you do not ignore the application of fertilizers.

At the beginning of the season, peppers, like any other crop, require nitrogen.

You can provide it to plants in the form of a green ferment, which is an infusion of herbs.

When the plants enter the flowering phase, use an ash solution for feeding, which contains potassium and phosphorus, which are essential for plants.

When setting fruit, calcium should be added - this component will help to avoid the appearance of blossom-end rot in the beds.

If you take into account all the requirements for the process of fertilizing plants, you will definitely get a generous harvest of tasty and thick-walled fruits.
