Pepper Olenka: reviews, photos, yield and description of the variety

What does a representative of the variety look like?

The pepper was bred by Polish specialists. It is distinguished by its yield and thick fruit walls.

The plant looks like this:

1. The bush is medium in height (up to 80 cm), branched.
2. The leaves are dark green and large.
3. The shape and size of the flowers are the same as those of other representatives of the culture.
4. Fruits growing upward. The peduncle is thick and strong.
5. The shape is typical for gogoshars - tomato-shaped or flat-round. The surface is glossy, highly ribbed (pictured).
6. Technically ripe peppers are dark green. When fully ripe, the fruits become bright red.
7. The small size (average weight up to 90 g) is compensated by thick walls.
8. In cross section, the pepper has 4 chambers. There are few seeds.

Pepper is endowed with a rich taste and aroma. The fruits are used universally in cooking.

Popular semi-standard variety

It’s not for nothing that the Kolobok pepper is called that, because its fruits are spherical with almost no edges. Thick walls can be nine to fourteen millimeters. And the size of the fruit is 5 by 8 centimeters with a weight of ninety grams or more. Kolobok reaches technical ripeness after 108-112 days. In this case, the fruits will be light green. They will turn red if 140-158 days have passed since the first shoots. And the taste will depend on the color of the vegetable. Red fruits are sweeter than green ones.

There are only excellent reviews about Kolobok pepper. All summer residents note its ease of care, rapid ripening, and the sweet taste of its thick walls. I especially like to use the fruits for canning along with tomatoes and preparing stuffed vegetables.

Tomato pepper “Princess Olga” - photo, planting and care

This season I discovered sweet peppers of tomato-like varieties of medium ripening. Their name - gogoshars - sounds like a song. Last year I liked round-shaped peppers at the market. I bought several fruits to collect seeds. The seller even knew the name of the variety - Olga. Later I found out: indeed, among the Gogoshars there is such a variety, but not just Olga, but Princess Olga.

Varieties of tomato-shaped peppers form a strong bush with a height of 0.5 to a meter. The crown is very compact, dense, well-leafed - such that the fruits reveal themselves only when they become burgundy-red. Before that, they merge with the leaves and are practically invisible.

Wide, round, flattened fruits with a ribbed surface are very similar to small pumpkins. Amazed by their appearance, you later enjoy the unusual taste (sweet with a mild pungency) of the centimeter-thick walls. Gogoshars weigh from 100 to 130 grams. Good for salads.

True, the high heat-loving nature of these varieties makes it possible to obtain a full harvest only in the middle and southern regions. You could say I was lucky: the summer was very hot.

Advantageous characteristics of the type

Ratunda sweet pepper belongs to the mid-season plant types. It ripens 95-100 days after pollination. The plant has a long, strong stem, from half a meter to a meter in height. The description of the variety includes the main qualities of the fruit:

1. At ripeness they reach a weight of one hundred to one hundred and fifty grams.
2. The thickness of the fleshy walls is from seven millimeters and above.
3. Unripe fruits are dark green, turning red or yellow as they ripen.
4. The pepper tastes sweet and hot, with a honey aftertaste.

If you grow sweet pepper varieties correctly, in warm summers they produce from three to five kilograms of tasty vegetables per square meter.

Reviews

Maria, 45 years old, Belgorod region.

Bell peppers are a versatile vegetable that I use in a variety of dishes and canning. Among the round sweet peppers, my favorites are the “Kolobok” and “Golden Fleece” varieties. I especially like to cover an assortment of these two peppers. It looks very nice in a jar, one flavor of pepper complements the other. They are unpretentious in cultivation, the bushes are small and determinate. After planting in the ground, they adapt well; there is no need to pin them down. The main thing is to water the plants, fertilize them several times, and weed them. I recommend that everyone try these varieties of peppers, I think you won’t regret it.

Victoria from Kursk region. I grow the described pepper in a film greenhouse. I believe that this is the only way to achieve the necessary air humidity. I always get an excellent harvest. Last season I collected 2 buckets from a small plot. Most of them were closed for the winter in their entirety.

Dmitry from Crimea. I have been growing the described pepper for 3 years in a row in unprotected beds. The variety attracts with its yield and rich taste. I care for them in the same way as other varieties. The only thing you should pay attention to is that you need to remove the fruits very carefully. The stalk is strong and if picked, the whole branch can be broken off.

Harvest

Ratunda peppers are harvested as the crop ripens.

Ratunda peppers are harvested as the crop ripens. Once the pepper has reached technical maturity and acquired a green color, it can be harvested, but if left for another 2-3 weeks, it will turn deep red - it will acquire its natural color.

The harvested crop can be used to prepare a variety of winter preparations (pickling, drying, freezing, fermenting). Ratunda pepper can also be used for preparing first and second hot courses, cold appetizers, salads, and sauces.
