Irina and Alexey, 48 years old
We recommend the sweet "Chardash" especially for those who do not have a large area for planting. The harvest is good - 10 kilograms per square meter and the appearance of the bushes. Each of the latter was elongated somewhere by 70 cm, and the ovaries - 17 fruits.

I like Jung. An excellent pepper of medium size, with an early ripening period that does not require complicated care. Fruits are beautifully arranged on a bush. I love to cook, but this variety makes an excellent lecho.

I love experiments in my country house near Moscow. Over the years, I have already made the choice of the best peppers for myself for greenhouses in the middle lane where I live. These are Barguzin, Nafanya and Smile. All of them grow well in the greenhouse, are unpretentious, do not get sick, and always delight with their fruits.
We note the choice and variety of early peppers for the middle zone of our country. And what to choose - it's up to gardeners to their taste and color. Have a good season!
