Among the positive aspects, the taste of fresh vegetables and yield indicators are noted. And also due to its external data and the density of the peel, Goliath pepper easily transfers transportation over long distances, while it has good keeping rates (3-4 weeks).

Another plus noted by gardeners is that you can collect future seedlings from existing fruits and grow your own culture.

Among the shortcomings, one can note the too large dimensions of the fruit and the inability to freeze it entirely. And also the culture needs good lighting and very nutritious soil.

• Nizhnevolzhsky.

For the good development of the bushes, summer residents recommend planting seedlings of 3 pieces per 1 m2.

Peppers are often grown in seedlings, even in the southern regions. This will ensure good root development.

In order to germinate a culture at home, it is necessary to prepare seedling boxes and material.

You can choose small containers, since the peppers (especially young seedlings) have a not very developed root system. It does not deepen so deeply, so the height of the container can be only 10 cm, and soil can be poured at the level of 5-7 cm.

The culture behaves well in both individual pots and drawers. Therefore, here the choice is up to the gardener.

Seeds should be pre-treated against possible pests or fungal diseases. A solution of manganese or aloe is suitable for processing.

And also the material can be additionally soaked in the growth stimulant liquid, or this fertilizer can be added directly to the soil.

After sowing, the containers are closed and stowed in a dark place for the seeds to hatch. Further, the containers can be removed to the windowsill, periodically water the bushes and fertilize.

A place for planting peppers should be selected in advance and ennobled (dig up and add useful minerals).

Caring for the culture is quite simple, it is necessary to follow some rules of agricultural technology, and then the culture will bear fruit well.

Watering should be done 1-2 times a week. But a lot will depend on the climate and weather conditions. After watering, you should loosen the ground around the bush, while removing all the weeds. This will help the seedling receive all the beneficial trace elements, and also reduce the risk of insect infestation. Top dressing is actively carried out during the growing season and the formation of fruits. It is best to add nitrogen-containing minerals, as well as potassium and phosphorus.
