    😢😢 I have fell on my crops this year. Except zucchini and summer squash, but then again I moved from location. I'm pretty sure that has something to do with it…😢

    Great video!!! I was just checking my precious pepper plants (bought from a friend who specializes in growing peppers) and wondering if they will ever mature. Only the beautiful Buena Mulata has lots of mature (purple) peppers, and the jalapenos seem close to done. But the lunchbox ones and bell peppers need some help and I didn't even know I could do things to speed up the process!

    MAKE SURE you clean the roots and use fresh potting mix when you overwinter. Otherwise, you risk bringing in fungus gnats. I knew better and overwintered 2 eggplant last year and did not change out the soil. It was a nightmare this past spring! I have never had an issue with fungus gnats until I did that.

    Our June was cooler than usual with more rain than we get in a year. Needless to say, my plants were stunted, some still are. I have gotten just a few small peppers. They were picked before I could use them because my tomatoes are just now ripening. I'll overwinter these plants and just get a headstart next year.

    In the meantime, I bought several pounds of honker sized jalapenos that just got delivered locally, which I will use for canning my jalapeno peach salsa, tomato salsa, and cowboy candy. 😋😋😋

    I'm in Northwest Louisiana so I still have some good growing time. Walked out yesterday and saw my jalapeño was loaded with flowers that I'm hoping will still have plenty of time to grow. I've saved my peppers every year since I saw your video showing how. This past winter we had a power outage while we were gone and I didn't know that my grow light and heat lamp in the shed hadn't reset so I lost my 3 yr old peppers and had to start over this year

    Central Texas 8b here (former Port Hueneme resident, like you) and I used your method this winter to over winter my peppers with great success! They did fabulous this spring and I started getting fruit right away. Unfortunately, we’ve have record breaking heat and drought in my area so once July got here they have been on life support and I’m just trying to get them through to coolers days. Temps are finally dropping to the mid 70s at night with highs steadily at 100 in the day, so things should start popping again.

    I will keep these fast fruiting tips in my tool belt because even though that first frost seems like it will never come, it will be here before I know it. Thank you for another great tip…and yes, I will be digging them up and bringing them inside this year too. 🥰🪴 🥶

    It's been a bad pepper year this year…I grew 7 different varieties that got regular watering, hot days (which I covered with shade cloth when I noticed some sun scorch) and very little production

    I thought your name was Brian not Peter Piper!!😂 But seriously this is great advice! I can testify that overwintering works!! Get those peppers ripe!!!

    I have had dozens of huge green peppers for months. They refuse to turn color lol I've picked some, I can't get that part right, and unfortunately, I don't like them green. I will try some of your other suggestions. this might be my last year, although my plants are much more productive than anyone else's that I know and I give them away at the end of every year 😅

    tomatoes, chili pepper, pepper, eggplant, all actual perennials given the proper amount of fertilizer – and then prepare them for wintering and dormancy.

    I got my peppers (marconi and ajvarski)in the ground late and I have waited forever for even the first pepper to ripen. The plants are enormous and very healthy with lots of flowers and fruit. I've finally begun to harvest ripe peppers and I'm also seeing an acceleration to ripening as a result. We have almost 2 months to first frost so I'll start to remove flowers to encourage the fruit left to ripen.

    My peppers are in a living soil pot, but the roots have grown through the bottom. Should I cut them off? They're not in the dirt. I have them up on 2 x 4's off the cement.

  27. Sandie Weatherup

    I saved two pepper plants over winter. Only one made it. But the bell pepper plant I over wintered started producing before my others grown from seed. Glad I listened to you last year.😊
