The 'Olenka' pepper belongs to the exceptionally productive tomato-shaped sweet peppers. Its beautifully shaped fruit take on a deep red colour and are covered with a shiny skin. This appetizing vegetable is recommended for growing on the field and in unheated greenhouses. The fruit of this pepper variety are round and flattened, ribbed and weigh 80 to 90 grams. Their thick, extremely juicy flesh is sweet, crunchy and delicious. As the fruit matures, its colour changes from dark green to deep saturated red. These intriguingly looking peppers are rich in vitamin C and minerals. The "Olenka" pepper bushes display moderate vigour, but they tend to spread broadly. The variety presented here brings health and rich crops.
Pepper is a thermophilic plant. The 'Olenka' variety is grown from seedlings. Sow the seeds in the first decade of January or the first decade of April, depending on the place of cultivation and the purpose. Pepper bushes are usually grown 40 x 50 x 40 cm apart. Plant them in the second decade of February or in the third decade of May. The harvest takes place from the third decade of April onwards. Plants planted at a later stage will develop fruit until the third decade of September. Peppers need a warm, sunny site with a rich, moisture retaining soil that is rich in organic matter.
The juicy and crunchy, 7 to 8 cm thick flesh of the 'Olenka' tomato peppers is a perfect vegetable that tastes best raw in sandwiches and salads. The compact size of the fruit allows to pickle it in vinegar or in herb-flavoured oil. The processing does not change the beautiful colour and sweetness of the fruit. Round peppers provide excellent material for filling and roasting. They will delight your guests with an appetizing appearance and excellent taste.

Where do our seeds come from?

Exclusion of the middlemen from the whole process not only makes it possible for us to avoid sending out-of-date seeds that might have been lying too long on a warehouse shelf, but also ensures the most attractive price for top quality products.
The quality control process
All our seeds must pass a four-stage quality control process.
Stage one begins with a careful selection of the suppliers. Than we proceed with controlling their crops, foreign producers are not excluded from the quality control process. Plants are checked at every stage of their development: when they start to grow, during blooming and when they start bearing fruit (seeds). At this stage the most important thing is to ensure proper spacing of the plants. Thanks to that obtaining the desired morphological characteristics of each particular species or variety, such as colour, height and shape, can be ensured.
Stage two consists of a detailed verification tests in laboratory conditions. With the use of the highest quality equipment by the highly qualified staff, our suppliers perform more than 30 000 quality checks annually. The seeds that do not meet our requirements are subject to technological refining processes, including drying, cleaning, upgrading and testing again.
Stage three starts with sowing seeds in selected control plots. That way we obtain valuable, exact information concerning their germination that must be maintained at an appropriate level. Simultaneously, the varietal identity of each species is checked at this stage.
Stage four takes place in our warehouses and consists of eliminating seeds that have been stored for too long on our shelves and replacing them with new batches. Each package is stamped with a unique batch number and also with the sow-by-date.
All four stages combined allow us to state with confidence that the seeds we deliver comply with the highest standards and have completed all required control stages with flying colours.
