Sweet (Bulgarian) pepper is a very healthy vegetable that contains many vitamins. However, not all gardeners grow it on their plots, since the agricultural technology of pepper is not entirely simple. Getting a good harvest is somewhat more difficult than in the case of tomato-related tomatoes, but not so difficult as to deprive yourself of the pleasure of a tasty and healthy handsome man plucked straight from the garden. Sweet pepper is an annual plant with an erect stem no more than a meter in height. Branching depends on the variety; the stems can be either naked or pubescent. The leaves have various shades of green, ovoid or lanceolate in shape. Flowers are formed in forks, peduncles can be either drooping or erect, usually arranged in pairs or 3 pieces each.
