You can see just how bright that sun is today it’s  brilliant it goes in and out every now and again   but for majority at time we’ve got really nice  bright natural sunlight so once you get these  

Like this take advantage of it I’m just doing a  very quick update on these Peppers they’re the   ones we’ve been growing indoors you can see we’ve  got some really nice elfy looking plants there  

And we keep them indoors on an eat M we keep them  under lights and we’ve done that since they first   germinated and you can see we’ve got a really good  result these are sweet bell peppers but they’re  

Not the round ones they’re the long ones we grew  some last year so I wanted to try a few more and   as I mentioned a few days ago we forgot about  this little fella we left it in Greenhouse for  

About 3 days day and night and it hoped perfectly  fine luckily we didn’t get any minus temperatures   otherwise it would have been a different story  altogether but it’s probably a good idea to pop   this on now since everything else has been done  and we just forgot this one we’re starting to get  

Quite a bit of root build up now and we don’t want  any eras plants to suffer from getting root B so   that’s just a quick little job for today and  while I’m doing that and other things around   Garden for next few hours these peppers can stay  outoors it’s perfectly warm in this greenhous  

Today because of that sun that we keep getting  and I can turn the lights off for a few hours   save a little bit electric even though don’t get  me wrong they take hardly any electric because the  

LED seiling lights and they’re only 5 Watts but  every little bit does help us and these plants   will benefit a lot more from natural sunlight  and they will artificial light they are getting   to the stage now where we’ve got about four sets  of TR leaves on them so a little treat for Peppers  

This afternoon and we won’t forget to take them  back in later cuz the first time I do that that   weather will shift and if it gets too cold and you  leave your peppers Outdoors there’s a good chance  

That you could lose them and that really would be  a shame after all this time growing them indoors   plus you might also have a problem with aphids we  haven’t got any last year we couldn’t get rid of  

Them there were so many we still manage to grow  some peppers mine but it doesn’t do your plants   any good because the aphids just drain all the sap  from the leaves and then the leaves eventually die  

Off and ultimately it becomes end of your plant  so if you do see any little dots on your plants   little black dots underneath your leaves or all  along your stem they’re AIDS and they’re basically   slowly destroying your plants and a quick way to  get rid of those it’s just take them outside hold  

Them in your pot like that and then just blast  them with some water and it will knock pretty   much every one off so between now and moving these  plants onto a bigger container that’s something   you definitely need to keep your eye on because  indoors there’s no natural Predators like ladyb  

Birds or wasps that feed on aphids and a good  thing to know as well as you do move these to   the outdoors Maybe sometime in mid Spring weather  allowing you might notice a lot of ants and that  

Doesn’t just apply to Peppers it applies to quite  a lot of different plants if you see lots of ants   running up and down the stems of your plants  they’re there for a reason they’re not just art  

To get the steps up put it that way what they’re  doing is they’re protecting aphids that will be   on your plants because when the aphids feed  on the leaves of your plants they don’t take   everything they leave a little bit behind and  that’s a little present for those ants because  

The ants will feed on what’s been left behind and  at the same time will then protect the aphids from   any Predators so it’s a mutual agreement the ants  leave the aphids alone the AIDS are protected by  

The ants the ants get to eat what’s left so if  you do do see any plants lots of ants on them   check underneath all your leaves check your stems  because nine times after 10 you’ve got a problem  

With AIDS that’s the only reason the ANS are there  so having said that whether you knew that or not   we are going to leave these out for a few hours  today keep his eye on that weather although I  

Think it’s going to be perfectly fine pretty much  most afternoon I’m keeping them eye up as well   away from slugs and while we’re in here I might  as well do this little plant of favor and get  

It potted on you probably seen me do it before  but just part fill that pot get your plant Out   rough those edges up a little bit and I can see  it’s quite dry on the bottom as well so we might  

Give them a good bottom soaking while they’re in  here too and then just push that plant in there   nice and firm nice and Central fill in around  that edge if you give it a shake it’ll settle  

Itself as well and then you can just compact  it down a little bit and straighten it as you go there we go that’s that plant repotted so  that’s that final one sorted out from this  

Batch and I need to get some bell pepper seeds  as well cuz I also want to grow some of those   it’s not too late to start growing peppers at this  time of year but you need to do it as soon as cuz  

They need a long growing season so that’s them  all done and while they’re out here I’m going   to mix up a little bit of tomato feed and give all  these plants a booster nutrients they can soak up  

That while they’re out here for a few hours also  getting the benefits of proper sunlight and then   later we’ll pop them back into ours where  we know they’re going to be safe I’ve just   filled a couple of jugs so I’m just giving them  a weak solution of feed if you hav’t got tomato  

Food you could use some seaweed or something  like that whatever you’ve got you don’t need a lot and sometimes I’ll make a  mix of both just small amounts of each that’s going to give a really good boost   of nutrients and it’ll last them  for quite a while so just a quick

Mix and then we can give us plants good feed so  I’m putting quite a bit into these cuz it’s just   going to soak right through and they’re outside  so they’re going to be drying out quite a bit but  

Once I’ve done this and they’ve add a proper deep  watering we not have to water them for probably a week and they’ve got that really big boost   the nutrition on top which is  important so give them a good

Soaking and that’s them plants done and what’s  left will pop into carrots carrots don’t need   a lot of nutrients to keep them going we know  that if you give them too much it can cause them   to f but these have not had much of anything in  their way of nutrition probably since Christmas  

And they’re also ready for a watering so it  doesn’t hurt to just give them that bit of   a boost and you might noticed I was just pouring  it over at top we’re not that point at the moment  

Where the sun’s going to get so hot it’s going  to burn those green tops and while we’re at it   we’ll give a bit of a feed to that garlic at the  same time I’m sure they’re going to appreciate

That and a little bit to those sweet PE but  I am pouring this around the base of these plants you can hear how dry that compost is the  water is basically running straight through so   we definitely overdue the watering so I’m just  carefully doing this so I don’t pour it onto the

Leaves and that’s the sweet piece done as  well and a little bit left so since half of   that’s just run out we’ll pop some more in and  that’s the job well done we’ll leave those out   there so everything has had a good feed today  everything has had had a deep watering and now  

We’re going to leave it to take advantage of  that natural sunlight and boost these Peppers   growth as much as possible and if you’d like  to follow progress of these Peppers amongst   other things that we’re going to be sewing and  growing over the next few weeks then please hit

  1. I am growing peppers for the first time, mine are a bit smaller than yours and under grow lights in the house. The house is around 19-22 degrees even through the night so was wondering if I need to use a heat mat for the plants as I took them off the heat once they had germinated. They all look really healthy at the moment.

  2. I was infested with Aphids last year… sprayed them with diluted washing up liquid..worked great 👍

  3. hi ivan my seedlings have small bumps all over the leaves…is that because it was too close to the light?

  4. Hi Ivan, The thumbs-up icon isn't showing when I view this (only the thumbs-down), so I've added a comment. I hope it registers as a positive viewing for your numbers. Cheers.

  5. Yes, Ivsn, there are aphids on my smaller dazzling blue kale. They're in big pots outside so they will be hose blasted today. Thank you for the tip.

  6. Hi, Ivan. I appreciate your informative videos very much, but i notice that the top third of videos are blurry.

  7. Hi Ivan. Interesting video. I believe the ants actually farm aphids. They actually feed/collect the honeydew excreted by the aphids, in return the ants protect the aphids from predators. Your peppers are looking fabulous. I agree that theer is nothing as good as natural sunlight for plants to grow healthily. But, as you say, don't forge to take your babies back in before the temperatures drop in the late afternoon/early evening. Thanks for a great video. happy gardening 😃

  8. I just found a couple of peppers poking their tiny heads up. Yours looked so good, I had to get some planted too. I don't know where I'm going to put all the plants I've started.

  9. Thanks Ivan, those peppers look great and the weather looks completely different from here, lol. Take care and all the best. Stevie

  10. My garlic got covered with a shiny black aphids, I thought they were tiny black beetles, looked them up and was surprised it was aphids. Sprayed them and hoping the garlic recovers. Ann

  11. Ah, and we weren't sure if we could plant peppers yet. So we thought we were early… Those look so good!
    We had aphids on some of our plants last year, washing up with vinegar and water did the job pretty nicely!
