Summer residents put in the same effort as usual, but the harvest is many times greater.

Heat and light are key conditions for many crops. Pepper is no exception.

The perfect place

Shade is contraindicated for this plant. Without sufficient sun, the pepper will grow weak, sickly, and the harvest will be very poor.

The best option for pepper is an open area that is in the sun from morning until sunset.

If the only beds left for pepper are on the north side, then it is better to plant tall varieties.

Summer cottage trick

After planting, the bed is covered with light mulch. For example, old sawdust or straw.

They will not allow the soil to overheat and will slightly reflect the sun's rays, providing additional lighting for the plant.

In addition to a good planting location, it is also important to water the peppers regularly, apply at least 1-2 fertilizers, and periodically loosen the soil.
