Pepper also grows in open beds, but any variety bears fruit better in protected ground. The greenhouse protects against frost, smoothes out daily temperature fluctuations. And some peppers do not ripen at all without film shelter. If you have not decided on a variety yet or just want to try something new, choose seeds according to the following parameters:

Ripening period. Sweet pepper is both early and late. Late-ripening varieties are also suitable for the Moscow region and the middle lane as a whole.In the Urals, it is better to take only early-ripening ones, so that the peppers have time to turn red in the bud.

Wall thickness. The larger it is, the juicier and tastier the vegetable. A good indicator is 7-12 mm.

bush height. There are short, medium and tall varieties. In greenhouses, tall plants are often planted for garters on trellises. They are more productive, but more difficult to care for. Low-growing peppers also do well in a greenhouse, and growing them is easier.

Fruit weight and size. All summer residents want to grow large vegetables. This is a reward for your efforts. Therefore, many prefer to plant large-fruited varieties with peppers up to 200-300 grams. But some small peppers ripen faster and do not lose anything in taste.

disease resistance. The less the variety is affected by diseases, the lower the risk of being left without a crop.

Cold resistance. For a polycarbonate greenhouse, this parameter is not so important. But a simple film greenhouse cannot completely exclude the ingress of cold.

The best early varieties of sweet pepper for the greenhouse

To eat fresh peppers already in late June or early July, pay attention to varieties that ripen on average in 90-110 days. They are planted early when there is still a threat of frost.
