As practice shows, very often the picture on the seed packaging has nothing to do with the harvest at the end of the season.
The quality of the seeds or the actions of the gardener are not always the reason. It is quite possible that the climate and variety were not taken into account. Here is what you need to consider in order to have a harvest at the end of summer.
There are a huge number of varieties of this crop. Mostly, summer residents are led by names like "Bogatyr" or something like that, symbolizing abundance, fertility, massiveness.
But the matter is in a completely different and inconspicuous detail, which only professionals know about.
It is quite possible that any variety will successfully survive the transplant from the windowsill to the garden. It will bloom magnificently, be covered with ovaries, but will these ovaries ripen if the summer turns out to be bad, or as they say, short?
This is why gardeners prefer to purchase low-growing pepper varieties for seedlings.
The advantage of such species is that they are designed to grow in less than ideal conditions.
Experts call such cultures determinate, and this information is always indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging.
The fruits of low-growing crops ripen in a short period of time, and their yield is above average.
But indeterminate crops, that is, those that grow tall and produce a lot of lush greenery, often do not have time to bear fruit in full force and the fruits to ripen before autumn.
