Thank you Brian. 🌸💚🙃
Thank you for all your advice for this novice gardener in Charlotte, NC!
Sunscald almost killed my peppers last year.
Great video Brian😊
Brian, I noticed your thyme is flowering, mine is as well. Is it still useable once it blooms?
Bullshit! Topping peppers does two things, it sets your plants back a month and it will 100% decrease production.
I stuck basil seeds everywhere in my raised bed and flower beds 😅
Bullshit! Basil does absolutely nothing to to prevent hornworms. The worst hornworm infestion that I've had was when I planted a ton of basil together with my tomato plants.
I started mine from seed and ended up starting em late, they're tiny now but I just got em in this weekend.
I'm in SW Wisconsin, Zone 5 and I'm hoping to see something by September 🤞
What is the fix for bind week in a raised bed?
Thanks for all the info! I had decided not to plant anything this month, I just changed my mind! 😂
Super hot peppers are in the soil. Those won't be a problem, but I am anxious for all of the things I am growing for the first time.
Should you trim the sucker leaves at the bottom of pepper plants?
My must-grow each summer is black eyed peas. It’s one of the few things that thrives in our 100°+ heat
In my humid climate already in middle May it's late to sow smth.
God bless you and your family 👪 ❤. We appreciate your information. ❤
Such solid advice. Pinching out the tops of your peppers alter the "Apical Dominance" of your plant and it encourages growth in the sections below the pinch. 🤓
You must have filmed this one last year? Can't wait to see the new garden in the raised beds.
I'm in Texas and have found using shade cloth really helpful during the hottest months.
thanks!
Great, thanks!
