Smart gardeners always pay attention to what is written on the seed packaging and find the right words there.

The choice of planting material determines a lot. Not only the quality of the harvest, but also its quantity, as well as how quickly the fruits ripen.

The weather in summer sometimes throws up surprises for summer residents. Heat can give way to coolness. In early June, temperatures can drop to record lows.

Prudent summer residents do not take risks and do not experiment with southern varieties and other exotics that will not survive weather surprises.

Which peppers to choose

As for peppers, gardeners look for low-growing varieties for their gardens. These varieties are better adapted to the conditions of a short summer, and tolerate sudden cold snaps better. Such peppers are called determinate, which is indicated on the packaging.

The advantage of such seeds is a short development period and a 100% guarantee of harvest. When growing tall peppers, there is a high probability of getting a lot of green mass (leaves, shoots, ovaries) and not a single ripe fruit even by autumn.
