Tonight I harvested the tomato and bell pepper plants. 1 tomato plant: 2.3 kg, and 5 bell pepper plants: 3.6 kg. Photo 1 This year, for the first time, I planted my two bell pepper plants in the greenhouse before the “Ice Saints” on April 20, 2026. Since well-hardened plants can easily withstand temperatures down to -4°C. And I planted the rest, as always, after the “Ice Saints” if the weather didn’t cooperate. Here’s what I learned this year. The plants planted before the “Ice Saints” had... - no problems with heat waves - a later harvest, but with much larger fruits and a much higher yield - were harvested 3 times this year The bell peppers planted after the “Ice Saints” had.... - problems with the heat waves 🥵😞 - the harvest was 3 weeks earlier, but the fruits weren’t as big and there weren’t as many of them. I’ll do it this way again next year: plant some before the Ice Saints and the rest after the Ice Saints. Photo 2/3 on April 17–20, 2026 Photo 4/5: Planted a bell pepper tonight before the Ice Saints.
