“For a long time I have been looking for the perfect variety of hot pepper for myself. I don't like too spicy, I wanted something moderately spicy. Homer's hybrid was a real find. It was very easy to grow and the harvest was abundant. Now I always plant this very pepper. ”
The pepper never took root in me, it was kind of frail, it didn't get tied up. Last season I tried the remedy BioGrow it is a plant growth bioactivator. It helped me and I finally waited for my first harvest of hot pepper.
