Reviews

Anastasia, 39 years old, Zaporozhye

For a long time I am engaged in the cultivation of cube-shaped varieties of pepper. For 8 years of regular cultivation of varieties, “Fat Man” pepper has become my favorite. He is unpretentious in leaving and is rarely ill. Fruits grow large, juicy, fleshy. Constantly I cook "lecho" from this hybrid.

 

Nikolay, 55 years old, Penza

I have been breeding peppers for commercial events for several years. I choose only those types of peppers that bring the maximum yield and have good commercial qualities. Most of all, I plant the hybrid Nochka on my site. Due to the unusual color palette, the variety is in great demand among many housewives. I grow seedlings on my own in small containers, then dive into separate containers. The pods grow juicy, fleshy, sweet. I keep the crop in wooden boxes in the basement.
