I did my peppers in grobuckets this year and added my tacky straw. They are going gangbusters! Thank you so much for introducing me to both tacky straw and grow bags. My grow bag potatoes are really impressive as well!
I know I should PROBABLY start harvesting some peppers, but i really really want them to start changing from green before I do 😣
Your really good my man,much appreciated…
JEFF YOU ARE A FATHER GOD SEND 🙏 🙌 ❤ WE LOVE YALL ❤ THANK FATHER GOD FOR YOU BROTHER IN JESUS NAME 🙏 ❤ AMEN AND AMEN 🙏 🙌 ❤
Great Video! I often see a particular seaweed fertilizer in your videos. Can you tell me where I can buy it in Canada? Thank you so much for always taking the time to publish these videos! Learned so much 😊and my garden is thriving this year!!!!
I mulch ed this year and few weeds my peppers plants are loving the hot sunny weather in northern minnesota
I like to put down my grass clippings into my garden, the tomatoes seem to love it but… Could this practice actually be hurting the peppers,? They seem very slow growing this year. I live in zone 7 and my peppers are barely getting big. Some flowers, no fruit. 🤔
Is Tomorite balanced or high in nitrogen? I am using it in my tomatoes, peppers, courgettes and aubergines/eggplants twice a month.
I have been waiting for my peppers to ripen before I pick them. Should I pick them green to get more?
Right on time. My cayenne peppers are just now developing. The pest pressure has me a month behind.
Thank you
I also take off the first flowers as the plant is still growing height early on.
I normally struggled with peppers planted in-ground, lucky to get 1 or 2 peppers per plant in a season. This year I did 2 plants in grow bags as a test. Harvested some already and both plants have about 8-10 more peppers growing and still blooming and growing. Grow bags are such a blessing along with all your good tips. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the tips of my (very) tall pepper plants.
I live in zone 10, souther hemispere and is trying to overwinter my peppers this year to see if I can get a headstart this summer. So far so good, still flowering (which I remove) after a few very cold stretches.
Hi Jeff. I made it to GA. to visit with my daughter and son-in- law plus 3 beautiful grandchildren. With my buckets, containers, and all my gardening essentials. My plants did well for my 15-hour drive. It was really tricky making the tall tomatoe plants fit. It took over 3 hours to do it right. I lost a few little fruits. As for my pepper plants, I harvested them a few times now. And they're still coming. I figure in a day or two, we'll be having stuffed peppers. Green beans are growing. I'm still in the process of arching them. My son-in-law will have to reach the rest of the way. I'll have to buy them a step stool. ( for 5 ft. me!!!)
Thanks for this video. Actually, all
your videos. Take care, and God bless ❤
I overwinter some indoors every year. Tomatoes and peppers go bonkers the second year.
My bell peppers always come out so tiny? Any advice?
Thanks Jeff!
Hey Jeff, did you take me up on my idea for an experiment video I suggested last year?
Very amazing video I grow some beautiful plants just like you in Jamaica
I have one banana pepper plant and the yield isnt the problem, the size is. How do i get them to grow bigger? it's gets a good amount of water, and I've added a splash of bone meal recently. Oh and only one of my 2 bells is producing fruit
My peppers were doing so good, loaded with fruit…harvested 3 nice ones before a rat decided it wanted the rest. It then it went after my 9 inch giant Marconi and then finished off my Shishitos. Maybe the poison I put out killed it off. Right now I'm forced to be bed-ridden for a week, so I won't know anything until I can get into my garden again. Hopefully your tips will help continue my harvest.
I have found that peppers do way better in fabric pots than in ground.
Thanks for another great quickie. I’m using a tomato fertiliser with NPK of 4:1:6, every 7 to 10 days. Is this too much nitrogen for my greenhouse peppers?
Hi from the uk. My peppers are going well so far, many thanks for all those helpful tips ! 😊
short vids! love it!!!!
I dint know if this the place to ask this question. Im a first time gardener and i do containers.
My question is can i use dry grass clipping for mulching
Thanks ❤❤❤
You can try to overwinter them, if needed indoor. Then you have a good rootsystem, what brings a bigger plant to start with next year, and will have more harvest. Same goes for hot peppers.
What is that that you put on top of them is that hey or what kind of mulch is in
Most of my bell peppers have turned to mush before ripening. Any ideas why?
Your videos are always so helpful, thank you
An old timer a few years ago told me about sulphur pellets. Lowers PH I guess. I am not a scientist tho. They seem to work!
My red and yellow peppers are huge but not changing color. They ate staying green. Thoughts?
