Growing hot peppers in buckets is one way to expand your container gardening skills. Today we are planting Pablano Peppers, Jalapeno Peppers, and Ghost Peppers in our bucket garden. This gives us one more way to grow vegetables, and gives us control over the soil and the amendments we use. Our container gardening secret super soil mix is what we use in a hot pepper buckets and many of our other container garden vegetable buckets. They are drilled for drainage, but in a way that allows also for use as self wicking buckets or self watering buckets. In the past, we have typically grown hot peppers from seedling pepper plants. Today, we will be planting store bought pepper plants that are wind damaged and require pruning. This is close to how we normally do it, so we are willing to dive into this growing experiment… Come along !

Good to see you Mark. So glad your feeling better!
I did 16 diff peppers this yr in containers
Glad your back Mark and feeling better. Love the sun glasses keep them on. Looking good. Love the pepper buckets
Good to see Mark again feeling better!
Nice got them all planted. I went to get the stuff to make my dirt for the bucket garden and nobody had anything so now I'm trying to figure something else out. Thank you for the mention. That was kind of you.
I usually grow my portugal peppers in containers. This is the first year I'll be growing them in a raised bed. They're fairly dormant rigjht now but should be kicking into gear next week when the temps get into the 70's and 80's.
You two are priceless 👍🏻
Mark, I was going ‘psst, psst, that’s a jalapeño you’re putting in there.’ Could see the tag. Guess I wasn’t loud enough. Glad you are feeling some better. Tina, you will have fun with your Luffas. After you dry them and get the seeds out, put one in a piece of pvc pipe and fill it with some melted soap that you’ve stirred a little glitter into. Then when it hardens up, slice into rounds and your little granddaughter will probably enjoy them in the bath. We used to sell them like crazy at our craft booth. They grow really well here in Texas because they require a long growing season. You guys, I’m enchanted by your bucket garden and can’t wait to see how everything does. Thanks for the Epsom salts tip.
I just found you all this is my first year trying to grow in buckets. I hope to build a frame like you all did one day. Thanks From Sullivan county TN
He can be all he can be. Funny!!!
I love you guys, i watch you and you remind me of my home people in Kentucky kind and giving. Thank you for being so humble. Im in Canada now with my hubby after getting out of usa army. It is a beautiful place but I do miss my southern home. Hugs from the north. Thank you for your video's. I can't wait to start my garden this year still alittle cool.
Your bucket garden inspired me. I’m moving to a new homestead next month. And going to build a 12×12 bucket garden with fencing and all on wheels. Gonna call it the Tomato Tractor. GOD Bless
Don't mind the sunglasses at all. Nice to see you guys again.
Love your channel !!!
Nice set up for the pepper buckets. Agree with Tina, some peppers are evil! LOL Have a great Memorial Day weekend, my brother and sister.
Take care and stay safe,
Rob
Mark its so good know your feeling better. Tina. You look beautiful!😄 Thank you. Heading out to give my peppers some Epsom salt
Things looking up for ya'll. Any ideas how to keep squirrels out of my plants flowers and veggies I am going to put in buckets
You just a cool dude with the sunglasses on 😎
😎 YOU ROCK THOSE SUNGLASSES MARK!! TAKE CARE OF THOSE EYES AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY!!
Hi friends. Can you leave 3 plants in the bucket, or do you have to replant them in the garden? I only put 2 in a bucket. Please let me know. Thanks
That's funny plant habenoles every year but planted 13 ghost this among all the others never seen them up here MN b ut I was h omw last wkend they was about 6inches tall planted in garden but started sweating wiped my face holy burn not sure I'll be able to eat one daughter and grand baby can eat hot but this be a challenge take guys first I ever watched
My son makes hot sauce so I grow him HOT peppers. Carolina Reapers, Ghost, Scorpion, Death Spiral, etc for his sauce. Too HOT for me! I like your videos guys. Feel better!
My first planting of peppers I had only 1 little survivor, so today I planted a few more seeds of bell peppers and my first jalapeno peppers. My son has finally been able to move home from Berea. Yall take care.
Great job with the buckets!! Lol I have done that putting the wrong plant in the bucket lol. Thank you so much for the shout out!! That means so much to me. In my family there is a law, unwritten, but the law to follow. When a family member is sick, you go to their home, to take them supplies to make chicken soup, and you also take them fruit. You must also bless them. I consider you guys part of the family. Since I could not go to your home to deliver supplies for chicken soup, or deliver the fruit. I thought I could still send a little blessing. Big hugs to you both 🤗
Thanks for the video and epsom salt tip for peppers.. I've had poblano peppers planted for weeks. I found some Nadapeno jalapeño peppers that are supposed to have all the flavor but none of the fire. It might not be too late here in central Arkansas to get a small crop. I've also got Italian sweet peppers and some Thai hot peppers out. Shrub of Evil, Ya'll are so funny.
I'm so glad you're feeling better, Mark. It's good to see you God Bless you both!
Growing in buckets is becoming my favorite way to grow. 💪
Slightly off topic questions BUT I was really hoping you, or someone from the community help.
I’m growing a few “super hot” peppers. They are very low, only a few inches tall, but with lots of leaves. For comparison, My Anaheim’s are about 12-15 inches.
I know the super Hots grow slower, but is this still on track? Any suggestions
Give my grandson money to get him some pepper plants lol he come out with everything hot lol lol
Why do you drill your holes close together?
