I have been working on the garden not so long ago.

Before that, to be honest, I mostly bought seedlings. And now she even collected seeds from the fruits and sowed them at the end of February for seedlings. I hope everything works out well again. The peppers are very beautiful and delicious.
Maxim, 39 years old, Kaluga
Several times I tried to grow sweet peppers in the open field and the crop, albeit small, I got only once, when I planted the Golden Miracle variety. I don't have a greenhouse, and in summer, as luck would have it, it rains and it's cold, the heat is terrible and the peppers grow and develop poorly. And this variety set up several fruits at once on each bush, and then, when I picked them still green, the fruits continued to form. I liked them very much, and will continue to grow them without fail.
