Gardening Tips for growing peppers and strawberries

Bell peppers need a soil rich in nutrients. They do best in well drained soil and sun. Beds raised are great for the bell peppers, with good topsoil, compost, and rotted manure mixed in

Your peppers grown in small shrubs, and need lots of air circulation. Give them enough space separation between 12 and 18 inches apart, in rows at least 24 to 36 inches apart.

Bell peppers need plenty of water during germination. You will need to maintain moisture but not soggy. If you do not get enough water, will have a bitter taste. Use cover crops to help keep the soil moist.

You know your peppers are ready for harvest when that his Once your final color. They can be red, orange, yellow, green or purple depending on variety. The more harvest goes up, so take it regularly.

Watermelons

Watermelon plant after the soil is warm and there is no danger of frost. Watermelons grow best in sandy soil, and it is important to plant on raised mounds.

Watermelon vines need lots of space. Sow seeds one inch deep in hills 6 feet apart away. Make your rows 7 to 10 feet away. After the seedlings begin to sprout, thin is a good idea about three floors of the hill.

The Watermelons have deep roots, so they rarely need to water them. In cooler areas, you can get floating covers, drip irrigation and plastic mulch black to help produce a large crop in a short season.

Watermelons can be hard to tell when ripe. Here is a list of things to look for:

# The light green, curly tendrils on the stem
# Color of fruit surface becomes dull
# Of the skin is hard and resist the image
# The bottom turns a yellowish color.

Pumpkins

Pumpkins are susceptible to grow. The seeds need warm soil, and frost can actually damage seedlings. If you want pumpkins for Halloween, plant the seeds in late May in northern locations in early July in southern areas.

Pumpkins need a minimum of 50 to 100 square feet per hill. Sow seeds one inch deep and four or five seeds per hill. Allow 5 to 6 feet between hills, spaced in rows 10 to 15 feet away. Once they have germinated, thin each hill to the best two or three floors.

Pumpkin plants should be kept weed free by growing roots and shallow. They do agree, for short periods of warm, dry weather.

You'll know when the pumpkins are ready for harvest when they have a deep and solid orange and the rind is hard. This is usually in late September or early October, before heavy frosts. Cut the squash with care, using pruning shears or a sharp knife and leave 3 to 4 inches of stem attached.

Summer Squash

Summer squash needs warm soil, fertile and airy. They do well in soil that has well-rotted compost or manure added.

One way to grow summer squash is to plant in a corner of the garden and train the vines to grow outside the garden. Plant them about 2 feet apart and in rows that are 2 feet away.

Summer squash need lots water during the growing season. Water deeply during dry periods. Only water the roots, not foliage. Watering early in the morning helps prevent mold.

Summer squash are ready to harvest when they turn the color of their maturity (usually green or yellow). Straightneck, crookneck, zucchini and summer squash are ready when they reach 1 1 / 2 to 2 inches in diameter, while summer squash are perfect scallops in 3 to 4 inches in diameter.

Strawberries

Plant your strawberries in the spring. If you are planting young plants that will ensure the certification and disease free. Select plants with large crowns with healthy roots, light colored. Prepare your soil with 1-2 inches of organic matter (like compost or rotted manure).

To plant the strawberry plants, make a hole big enough to spread the roots. Make the center of the hole on a hill, and set the crown at ground level. Separate down roots, and denounce the strawberry plant so that the soil is in the middle of the crown.

Your strawberries will need 1 to 2 inches of water per week. This is especially important during the formation of strawberries, early flowering until they choose.

Pick your berries when fully ripe. This means out of the berries of the plant for a day or two after they are fully colored. A pick, the plug flow directly above the bay, instead of throwing Cherry himself.
