Reviews about the cultivation of sweet pepper in the suburbs
Irina, Moscow Region, Dmitrovsky District
I always plant up to ten different varieties of peppers, and among them with a thick wall and thin ones. Winnie the Pooh never fails, always gives excellent crops, albeit not so sweet, but early. I appreciate this variety for stability, because it happens that other peppers fail, and this "shorty" never. I shoot peppers green, on the bushes do not want to blush, but at home they ripen quickly.
Svetlana, Balashikha
My mother-in-law is very distrustful of foreign varieties and hybrids. But when I tried to grow a hybrid of Atlantic pepper, my opinion changed. True, he still doesn’t grow others, but he always buys in advance. Peppers are very tasty, they grow in a special greenhouse. We plant 10 bushes, usually in a sachet such an amount of seeds and the same amount emerges. There are no losses. It always gives crops, and we have been growing it for 5-6 years already, and are very satisfied.
