Reviews

Anna: "My top three favorite varieties of sweet peppers are 'Winnie the Pooh,' 'Gemini,' and 'Fat Baron.' The fruits of these varieties are large and bright red. They're great in fresh salads. Caring for them isn't difficult, but the results are excellent. They pack a ton of vitamins into one vegetable."

Yuri: "I've been selling vegetables for a long time. During the summer season, vegetables are especially popular. For me, the most important thing when choosing varieties is their transportability and long shelf life. Sweet pepper varieties like 'Buratino,' 'California Miracle,' and 'Atlantic' perfectly meet these requirements."

Georgy: "I appreciated the 'Bogatyr' pepper variety in my second year of growing it. When choosing this pepper, I carefully examined its characteristics. When the plant grew, I thought the fruits would be small, but no, they exceeded all my expectations. My wife loves stuffing this variety with meat or making it vegetarian. I highly recommend it."

Marina: "I'm new to gardening. But I really love using bell peppers in a variety of dishes. I can't think of anything better than growing my own vegetables and fruits. I've identified two pepper varieties that meet all my requirements: 'Gift of Moldova' and 'Winnie the Pooh.' They require virtually no care, are disease-resistant, and produce large fruits."
