Pepper variety Amber
Early ripe sweet peppers Amber is prized for the excellent taste of large juicy orange fruits. The peppers are cone-shaped, smooth, with a wall thickness of about 6.5 mm, weighing on average 90 - 110 g.
A plant of the Amber variety of medium height (up to 95 cm), spreading, grows well on a vertical trellis. The foliage is not dense, the peppers are arranged in a mixed order. When planting, a 40 × 30 cm scheme is used. Bushes are formed by removing side shoots and all leaves until the first fork.
Peppers ripen to technical ripeness on day 112, green fruits at this time can be harvested for consumption. Fully ripe orange fruits ripen 15 days later. The variety is fruitful and gives up to 7 kg per square meter.
Among the early vegetables, Amber pepper is one of the first in terms of its nutritional value, it is used both fresh and for cooking various dishes.
I consider Amber pepper a decoration of my plot. During ripening, its bright orange fruits are pleasing to the eye. I plant seedlings usually after the May holidays, and in July I collect the first juicy, fleshy, sweet fruits. Peppers are very good to use in salads and simply as a table decoration. The only thing is that this variety is afraid of the open sun. For planting, it is advisable to choose a place with moderate shade.
Not a bad variety, but for me it is 4 points out of 5. The reason is the size of the fruit and the yield. It is very good for early consumption, for which, in principle, it was planted here. Quite tasty, it can be eaten both green and in the stage of yellow color of the fruit. It is necessary to make a salad - she went and tore straight from the garden, even if it was still unripe.
Planted for seedlings at the end of February. At the end of May, I planted it on a garden bed under a cherry tree (the tree slightly shades the ground). It is quite hot in the Azov region in summer and it rarely rains, so I covered the garden bed (without digging) with a layer of humus from a compost heap, goat droppings on top, newspapers in two layers (this is all from weeds and to preserve moisture), sprinkled on top with another layer of earth and humus ... I planted pepper seedlings in this sandwich: I broke a hole in the layers of newspaper / humus with a sharp scoop, lowered it to the required depth (the pepper cannot be deepened much, it will die), so that the roots would be covered and the plant would stand. I poured the herbal infusion into the hole and sprinkled it with earth from the bucket. All peppers take root like this and rarely need watering. Pepper Amber, in general, turned out to be problem-free in this regard.
Everyone in my family loves peppers, so I try to grow them with different colors of fruits: there are a great many varieties with red fruits, but I could not find peppers with an orange color for a long time (I planted different ones, but their color turned out to be faded and not appetizing, then they taste the qualities did not fit, then the disease overcame). Amber suited me perfectly: the peppers grow not very large, with thick walls, the taste is harmonious - pleasant, with an obvious sweetish aftertaste, the color of the fruits is bright (fully justifies its name). This pepper ripens one of the first in my garden - the variety belongs to the mid-season, but if you tinker with the seedlings and sow the seeds a little earlier than usual, then the variety turns into early maturing. The yield is good, and in order to increase the fruit setting, I recommend harvesting more often (green peppers ripen very quickly in a dark place without losing their taste).The variety can be attributed to non-bland - it has never been affected by apical rot (even in the last abnormally cold summer). But there is one "but" - this pepper is very picky about soil moisture, if it does not have enough water, it will shed flowers, fruits, and ovary.
