Sweet thick-walled pepper – description

This group of plants includes numerous varieties, each with its own unique characteristics. It's important to follow these basic rules when planting.

Given this, it's safe to say that open-ground cultivation isn't suitable for all farmers in Russia. It's more challenging for those living in cooler regions with short summers. However, it's possible to select a variety that thrives in a greenhouse.

For proper growth, the crop will need good lighting, which is important for peppers both at the seedling stage and after.

There are several stages to growing peppers:

1. Seed preparation and sowing.
2. Caring for seedlings at home.
3. Transplantation.

The seedling method is recommended for all gardeners who want strong, healthy plants. Varieties vary not only in growing conditions and taste, but also in appearance. Thick-walled peppers can be red and yellow, orange, scarlet and brown, and recently, exotic purple varieties have even appeared in garden beds. Whatever the color of the plant, there's no doubt about the health benefits of peppers.

Asti

This variety is considered one of the most popular in Russia. Domestic gardeners love it for its attractive appearance and pleasing color. Among other characteristics, its weight, reaching 250 grams, is noteworthy. Asti produces a large harvest. A square meter planted with this variety will yield up to 10 kilograms of fruit. This is an excellent yield. The first fruits are harvested 110 days after germination. This pepper tolerates long-distance transportation well.
