How to Grow Peppers (Organically)

Dude..the Hammer pun got me! I miss the 90s

You're not a word😂😂😂

Fala fala o melhor seria fazer o plantios

Serious question: I’ve asked many other people/channels - “peppers” or “chiles”? “Indians” or “Native Americans”? Spice trade was looking for black pepper and found spicy food (chiles), and now we have “peppers.” Perhaps you do or don’t have thoughts. I suspect beyond your purview as an amazing market gardener and even better content creator, but I’d like someone to talk about it.

Not only are peppers fruit, they’re berries. You know what’s not a berry? Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries to name a few.

How do you make your soil blocks?

love all the video that you make😁, you give such a amazing info

I love the bull horns. I grow them too. ❤

Kang Kong aka Chinese Water Spinach loves wet and boggy soil and won't grow in well drained soil

i live in zone 6 in Northern Michigan but by the lake. i have a buyer for hot peppers from a local hotsauce company.... thanks for the advice!

crops that prefer poorly draining soil: celery, rice, thai morning glory, watercress and some other cresses, arugula, daikon radish, taro, etc.

we grow a old hot pepper called CHIMAYO IMPROVED.,. A very popular pepper i New Mexico , It is usually roasted and frozen for the winter. Both Red ad Green are used for winter. It is big enough for stuffing too. Chile Rellenos !!

I buried my peppers like tomatoes (I'd grow them indoors to 4-5 leaf pairs, then snip off all but the top two leaves and bury the rest of the stem). That was in a backyard garden, fairly heavy clay and very dry 9a central California. It seemed to help a lot with root growth and cut way down on how much I had to water. Your crop looks lovely! Best of luck!

I'm a new subscriber, there are so many good topics that you show up.. and i love the way you explain...

Growing stocky red roaster for the first time this year! 🌶️💖

Thoughts on topping pepper seedlings?

Yes FACT about the tomato sandwich… MUST have Hot pepper 🌶️ 😂

I ain't know if anyone has said this yet but if you periodically starve a hot pepper of water it will love you and also make your peppers hotter

I've always planted my peppers pretty deep, it helps them from getting blown over in the wind.
I've also never needed to support them other than maybe a stick for them to lean on when they're first put out.

Ashwagandha is what I grow in compact, poor soil. Remember not to water more than once a month or maybe never!

Always learning from your channel and appreciate your direct comments which are peppered (truly, no pun was intended but it fits!) with quick-witted humor! I came to this video as we are going to try Anaheim's this year in addition to others, as we buy so many canned chili peppers for cooking certain recipes...and I was like DUH...need to grow them as buy so many!! Our peppers did not do well in zone 8 until our summer cooled down a bit...and the jalapenos took off when potted and moved into our greenhouse for the winter. I was making pepper jelly in the winter with fresh peppers! Our teeny and reliably hot "birds eye" pepper (don't know bot name as seeds for our plants are from my husband's family,..and just always called "birds eye") jammed in the ground until unusual-for-us deep cold snap towards the end of the year.

I love thai chili peppers. Grow them every year. Also do Anaheim for roasting. If you don't grow peppers to roast you are missing out. Chopped tomato and roasted pepper rolled up in a tortilla is a standard fair around here in the late summer.

Well I’m trying cracked pepper on my cereal in the morning. Never thought I’d say that.

Here in New Mexico, hot peppers are our pride and joy! I somehow didn't know there are so many bullhorn peppers with no/low heat.

You are my new favorite gardening channel. Great stuff! Super Thanks!

I grew some Carmen peppers last year. Just got some seedlings from a local community farm, and put them in a container next to some thyme and rosemary. They were SO productive, and so good grilled or charred, and now I'm obsessed with growing more peppers.

For a market gardener, I bet making hot pepper sauce would be a better way of selling hot peppers than selling them fresh. Or maybe you could sell the peppers fresh, and any that don't sell could go into sauce, which could then be sold. And one benefit of pepper sauce is it's pretty shelf stable.

My fave sweet peppers are Jimmy Nardello, Habanada, Corbaci and Sweet Datil

Stop talking get to How to Grow Peppers 🤣🤣💋💋

Yours are the only garden videos I do not have to fast forward. Bravo!

Second video in, like what I see and have hit the subcribe button.... do you use any pecticides? I'm doing organic, no till in Japan. Thanks for your time... Nathaneal

Amazing

Lovely garden! You just talked me into planting some vegetables next year. Thank you for the step by step instructions! (no hot peppers for me though lol, I'm a wimp). 👍👍🌹🌹😁😁

Which variety of shishito do you grow? I’m not sure of my variety (purchased from Baker Creek) but I find them very seedy.

😂 love the comparison of sorry needed for peppers versus tomatoes..🍺

Yes peppers and sweet potatoes!

very informative

Your channel is very informative. I have learned a lot. How do you feel about starting seeds in solo cups. I know several people who refuse to grow in them.

You should put a sign that says they are sweet, not hot peppers.

Try to grow Carmagnola bell pepper or other variety from Piemonte, can be similar to your zone and are very famous sweet pepper. 🙂🌱

Last year my peppers kept having the branches break off. I would prop up the plants and the big bell peppers would get so heavy they'd break the branches off. I ended up having to prop up almost every branch.

I've always heard that pepper plants liked to "hold hands" and be close enough together that they touch. I've not grown a ton, so I haven't spent any time testing it out in my environment.

You're awesome🍅🌿🌶️

I'm trying 'The King of the North' this year and hope it's better than California Wonder and Yolo Wonder. One Jalapeno that I've been having success with in the north is Spicy Slice (F1) and it's consistently spicey, large and early. My favorite Bulls horn pepper so far is Marconi, and I still do not know why more people embrace these peppers as they are so flavorful. I do stay away with feeding my peppers the same as my tomatoes, as I feel they do better with a slightly higher nitrogen ratio than tomatoes.

Shisito are def dank. Carolina reaper is fun, it’s a different flavor of spice. I like em for bbq sauce and jerky. Super chili’s are nice lil spice rockets

Do u have a video of how you do your soil blocks or balls? 👍

I'm near Hatch, NM world famous for its green/red c
hile.

If your pepper starts get root-bound, don't panic. Be gentle with the roots of course but there's no need to be precious about it. They're a bit tougher than people think.
I've found several times that they respond very well to dunking in water or spraying much of the whole root ball off with a hose, so you can "fluff up" the roots and the spread them out nicely when you put them in the ground. They seem to recover faster than "normal" transplants. If not for the time involved, I would probably do that with all my pepper starts because they seem to settle into the ground very quickly and take off faster overall.
I also had wonderful success starting peppers in small grow-bag-type "pots" (4-6" dia.) so the roots air-prune and never start circling in the first place. Those seemed to suffer almost no transplant shock at all. I think people get similar good results using the soil blocks, for similar reasons?
