Tomatoes have been transplanted on May 13 and May 20, sweet peppers - on May 21. Total 50+40 tomatoes, 5 hot peppers and 100 sweet peppers. As you can see Russians are not into hot dishes :wink:
![]() The major open ground transplantation for tomatoes scheduled to this week-end except about 20 plants I've already placed on May 27. Cucumbers are germinating very slowly even under spanbond cover... The weather is still not for summer in Belarus. Heavy rains and only + 10 + 15 C. http://foto.rambler.ru/users/andreycho/3/

Hi Andrey,
Nice setup. What kind of spacing do you use for your peppers? What are those cups for in your greenhouse? Jeff |

Jeff - I usually leave these cups with written variety names I use for seedlings at home before staking all plants in greehouse. Then write down all on a scheme or use simple labels.
This year I plant my sweet peppers much closer to each other than before ~ 30x40 cm just to transplant more peppers from my own and my mother-in-law. We'd grown definately too many pepper seedlings this time ![]() Also I leave 6 holes right in the end of our pepper greenhouse for some unusual (for me) cucumbers, 1 melon, 1 watermelon, 1 Red Burgundy okra and 1 purple physalis ![]()

William - We use common soil + add aged horse or hen's manure in autumn + wood ashes in spring right in the holes before transplanting. Sometimes add some mineral (or combined) fertilizers without chlorine, but not so much.
Also have to change (rotate) soil every 3-4 years.

Andrey,
What kind of peppers are they? I have been looking for the kind that they use in the Hungarian Paprika that I love so much. To make Hungarian goulash out of, (of course.) The imported stuff is a little pricy. Great looking plants, by the way a friend of mine in Alaska just bought a tractor from Belarus. Good job and good luck. Worth |

Regarding our tractors your friend has a very good choice and he save a lot of money I think. Our "Belarus" tractos are among the cheapest hard working tractors in the woirld. You can buy a very powerful Belarusian tractor for only 15000USD! http://<br /> http://www.tractor-be...cts/82R_a.html :wink:

Earl - Don't worry, I'm in love with one Russian/Lithuaninan/Polish redheaded woman (my wife) for more than 10 years so far and we've got a wonderful girl who looks very much like me :wink: I have too many roots here to be seduced by any other beautiful women from over the world
![]() So I invite you and many other my friends-gardeners from Tomatoville to visit Belarus if you would like someday. Minsk is located not too far from Moscow (only 700 km) so you could visit both capitals. You will be definately amazed of Soviet realism of our streets, buildings and monuments of Lenin and Dzerzhinsky, pure services, but very friendly people. It seems to me Belarus is the only country in the world where you can see Police wrecker-tractors (they use it for evacuation of wrongly parked cars ![]() ![]() There will be also a special excertion to Belarusian dachaland and a warm atmoshere of my daugther's room with mice and lambs on the wallpapers and blinking stars and planets on the ceiling in the night :wink: ![]()
