Bell Pepper in Orsha: soil, season and weather

In Orsha the soil, not frost, sets the date: the last frost is over around 4 May, but the top 7 cm of soil reaches 18 °C — the minimum on the bell pepper card — only around 12 June, 39 days later. 121 days separate planting out (12 June) from the first autumn frost (11 October); the card's 70 days to the first harvest leave 51 for picking, so a start 7 weeks late would still fit.

Where to buy bell pepper plants and seeds near Orsha

Buy plants ready to set out from 12 June to 21 June (from 22 May to 21 June for an unheated greenhouse); seed for raising your own is sown from 23 March to 22 April. Within 15 km of Orsha OpenStreetMap lists 4 garden centres, 2 plant nurseries, 6 markets and 1 farm shop (collected 27 October 2026).

Each window starts on the Greenly calendar date and ends on the last day that still leaves the crop’s days to harvest (from its card) before the average first autumn frost, plus six weeks of picking for crops harvested over weeks (tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, cucumbers, courgettes, pumpkins, watermelons, beans) — our rule; earlier in the window is safer.
