Admiral F1 Pepper: Characteristics and description with photos, reviews

Bell peppers are considered a traditional heat-loving crop. However, times are changing, and every year, breeders delight us with hybrids and new varieties of fruits and vegetables. which are distinguished by their resilience to various weather conditions and high fertility. Admiral F1 is direct evidence of the above facts.

Preparing seeds for planting

Before planting, you need to prepare the seeds. This is easy: simply soak them in a potassium permanganate solution for about 20 minutes until they fully swell. Then rinse them under warm running water and strain them through a sieve. Optionally, soak them in a solution with diluted micronutrients for 11 hours. Rinse them again under water and place them on dry towels for two days. Now the seeds are ready for planting.

Growing seedlings

Once you've prepared your seeds, you can begin growing them. First, you need to germinate them. Take a container and fill it with prepared soil. Don't fill it to the brim; a 2 cm margin is sufficient. The container you'll be germinating the seeds in should have holes in the bottom to allow excess water to drain. If you have a container but don't have holes, making them is easy: heat a round metal object (like the tip of a screwdriver) over a flame, then simply touch it to the container. Plant the seeds in the container and then cover it with plastic wrap. Keep in mind that the seedlings should be kept in a warm, ventilated area.

How to plant and grow?

Once you've seen the first shoots, remove the plastic wrap from the container and plant them in the ground. The Admiral F1 pepper is suitable for both open and closed ground. It's best to plant the peppers in a greenhouse in mid-May, and in the garden at the end of May—closer to the 28th. It should be warm outside, so avoid planting the seedlings if frost is forecast. Dig several holes in the prepared soil and place the plants, root system included. Don't forget to water them and, if necessary, remove weeds. Care is quite simple: just water the peppers as the soil dries out and don't forget to enrich the soil with fertilizer and manure.

This is interesting!

If you need fruit as quickly as possible, this variety is not for you. It takes about four months from sowing the seeds to full ripening. It's only suitable for temperate climates, meaning it can be planted throughout almost all of Eurasia and northern North America. Its advantage is that it doesn't take up much space, as its leaves are small and its branches don't spread out. The trunk, branches, and leaves are green. It can reach a height of up to 130 cm.

Fruit

The Admiral F1 pepper produces red, very fleshy fruits that are also tasty, juicy, and healthy. The walls can be up to 6 mm thick, and each fruit can weigh up to 150 g. It's best to plant it in a 40x60 pattern, or at least, although you can leave a little more space if you prefer. You can eat it fresh or canned; it's delicious both ways. You can harvest up to 6 kg of pure pepper from 1 m2.

Important!

Peppers haven't been shown to be resistant to any diseases, so always be on guard. Common diseases of bell peppers include stolbur, blackleg, fusarium, and others. You can tell if your plant is sick by changes in the leaves. They may turn yellow, darken, or shrink depending on the disease. To ensure healthy and tasty fruits, remember to use various pest and infection control products.

Storage

If you picked unripe peppers, we recommend storing them in a cool, dark place for a while. To prevent them from spoiling, you can freeze or can them. For the first method, simply cut them into pieces, wash them, and place them in the freezer. For the second method, you need to sterilize the jars, fill them with lecho, peppers, and other ingredients (depending on what you're canning), and then simply seal them. These methods are suitable for both winter and other seasons.

Reviews

Masha Pozdnyakova: Overall, the peppers are pretty good. Of course, I'd like a higher yield, since I mostly grow vegetables and fruits for sale, but this will do.

Elena Lesnikova: These are really good peppers! All the peppers are so bright and beautiful, and when I canned them, they were absolutely perfect. When my mother-in-law came over, I set the table, where, in addition to salads, there were my peppers. She tried them and almost swallowed her tongue. She asked me for the recipe, but she didn't know that it's not the recipe that makes the difference, it's the peppers!
