240509 Cutting Peppers Back
Переглядів 309Місяць тому
Everyone knows that I love to grow peppers. Over the last couple of years I've started to top some of my chile crop. This does a couple of things. Topping promotes bushier growth. This also will delay harvesting until later in the summer. I'm not mad about this because I believe the productions of peppers is better late summer/early fall.

It's common when growing home citrus to have the rootstock of the grafted tree start to push new growth, mainly in the spring. If this growth isn't removed the rootstock could over grow the scion.

😢 all my porch plants... all my veggie pots.... are ant farms now
Spinosad drenches are the answer, Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew, bonide.com
Most of my peppers seedlings are in those same containers. When should I transplant them into a bigger pot?
I'm assuming you're referring to the 3-inch pots. I usually let a nice root system develop before doing any transplanting, it could be a month or so
Yes. I planted my seedling bell peppers for over 1 1/2 month now. And they have been growing. I don’t know what is wrong. I don’t over watered them and they direct sunlight
They are at the same stage age yours right now. What soil brand is better when transplanting them into a bigger pot?
How do u kill the ants on the roots
My go-to for fire ant control is to drench the root ball with spinosad, 4 TBS/gallon water. Captain Jack's Dead Bug Brew is a favorite product from Bonide, bonide.com/product/captain-jacks-dbb-conc/#/
Thank you for this video. I managed to get 5 seeds from the Luna Hibiscus. could you please tell me If I can just use regular potting soil or Jiffy seed starter for the planting and do I need to put it in a cover container to give them the green house affect? Please let me know, I want to get it right 😊
I use my professional container mix for everything including seed starting
Ants in containers will eventually destroy your plants. Thanks for the video. I will definiitly give it a try.❤
Hi Dr. Gary, I like your content! Thank you for promoting our product! Your tomatoes are beautiful. Drop me a line, I would like to send you one of our new products to evaluate.
Thanks, I like to promote garden products that are great tools for the home gardener. I would love to receive and try out a new product.
Looking forward to that recipe 👍
Hola , que variedad de okra es esa ? Gracias 👋
I believe it was Clemson Spineless
@@HeritageCottageUrbanNanoFarm Gracias , thaks .
Back in the eighties I had a little garage apartment in a wealthy neighborhood, big trees and beautiful yards. There was one house that had a just gorgeous flower meadow on a corner. They had a little sign on the street saying, "Pick some, please!" and a pair of scissors on a hook (with a long string, so the scissors didn't wander off). I'm sure the owner was happy for the neighbors to do a little inadvertent dead-heading for her!
I LOVE THE FLAMINGO PLANTER
I picked that up at a garden show about 10 years ago
I have two kale plants that I thought had hit their end cycle last season. A few months back I noticed the beautiful yellow flowers coming in. I moved them (the area they were last year is where I decided to transplant some hostas) and was even able to separate the kale into a few plants. Today they are gorgeous tall flowering plants. There are some usable leaves that I harvest and give to my mother for my little sister’s critters (gerbils, mice, rats and Guinea Pigs). It’s a win win.
Great harvest! And you are so right those fresh potatoes have the best flavor! Donald just grilled our last batch!😩
I was needing the "real estate" that the potatoes were in as well. Mostly small potatoes, but good tasting!
I’m with Katie! My lil micros are doing well. I like the idea of staggering the growing to have fresh tomatoes all the time. 👍
I grow in Earthboxes and 7 gallon nursery containers. Lately I've been reading about microplastics everywhere, including in people. Doctors apparently don't think that's a very positive development. Microplastics are being found in food and apparently plants can uptake plastic. As a significant portion of what I eat comes out of plastic containers, I've been thinking about plastic container growing safety. I've had Earthboxes for years, and I've not seen any degradation of the plastic, which I think is good. I've noticed some plastic pots I've had for years seem to be a bit chalky, which I assume is plastic degrading. The black 7 gallon nursery containers also seem to hold up well, no chalking, cracking, etc. I see you are growing in 5 gallon plastic buckets. I know there are food safe, BPA free 5 gallon containers. I assume you use those. Have you seen any degradation in the containers? What are your thoughts about this topic? BTW your tomatoes are awesome!
No doubt that the issue of microplastics shouldn't be ignored. The EarthBoxes are food grade and treated to resist UV. Some of mine are 15 years old. The 5-gallon buckets I'm using for the GroBuckets are food grade, but with no UV resistance. The first batch lasted 3 years and just broke apart when I tried to move this spring.
Thanks for a new method. Curious about the marker you use. By June all the labels are washed away. Not a big deal for familiar plants but I have a variety of hot peppers. Good to know how hot....
Having a marker that lasts is important. I found these on Amazon, Artline EK-780 Garden Markers, 0.8 mm Writing Width, UV Resistant, Waterproof Permanent Markers Ideal for Plant Labels, Quick-Dry for Indoor & Outdoor Use
Love watching you and Kate walk around and sharing your garden. How often do you fertilize your tomatoes?
The initial fertilizer at planting and I'll add a tsp of calcium nitrate every 10-14 days directly into the reservoir tube
@@HeritageCottageUrbanNanoFarm thank you
I used my first Earth Box last year. Loved it so much ordered 3 more for this season 🙌 happy growing
Sending EarthBox love your way. Grow on!!!!!!
"If i prune out these tops, that will release the laterals and it will become a bushier plant" "That's the whole idea about this, I'm trying to make a better structured plant, for later in the season" .... Ooof I remember those days my friend. I do. Trust me though, the plant knows what to do. Pruning will never increase yield potential or any "stability" that is any better than providing the plant what it needs to do that on its own. No amount of human manipulation or thinking we are smarter than the plant will make the plant objectively better. Now you can argue aesthetics and subjectivity all day. Sure. No argument there, but in terms of objectively better? Nope. Pruning doesn't solve any problems that don't even have to be problems in the first place. I highly recommend you get into cages and larger plant spacings if you truly want the strongest and highest yielding plants.
Thanks
I'd love to watch the French Onion Soup video! Please make it, Katie!
Yes! Katie, please make a video about making French onion soup.
"Loves her some turtle" 😂😂
Definitely doing this our scallions and leeks!
Inspiring, Gary! How big is your room for videoing? Is it a patio or a free standing structure? What kind of soul medium for these hibiscus?
I know you have Soul, lol meant soil. 👍
Teresa, We've setup our screened in porch for use as a "studio". You only see a 5 x 5 section. I believe I used the Tiger Greaux from Phillips Bark (Brookhaven, MS) for these seedlings
@@HeritageCottageUrbanNanoFarm Looks fabulous! Great job!
@@teresawatkins311 , I need to do a wrap around room view
Thanks for the video I have only 5 boxes. 😂 the rest are raised beds. I may get more eventually.
Thanks for posting this video. It helped me decide to buy an overpriced but apparently rare vermilionaire after going to 3 nurseries. I was able to divide it into 4 individual plants a week ago, so if all goes well it’ll be a good deal.
You could improve the quality of your videos quite a bit by getting some help with your audio. Great content and camera work just the audio needs help.
A whole new way to use excess! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing the process. How do you cook/use the food powder?
We use as seasoning, dips, sauces etc.
Thank you
Very educational video 😊
Thanks
I love my Earth box so much I'm going to order 3 more for this season of 2024
That's genius! I tried to find one of the copper fittings after seeing your first video of the topic. The sizes I need seemed too expensive so I gave up. It doesn't rain much where I live so I just decided to put a 3 or 4 inch black plastic strip over the fertilizer held on with binder clips. I use straw to mulch around the plants and to stop the evaporation. I guess I'm just to frugal (cheap!) to buy the $2 plastic covers. The plastic, straw and binder clips only cost me $2.50!
From 13 to 60 in 3 years
Gary, Tony and I love green onions!! Love your tip of green onion powder. Great tip on cutting after the bent portion. Youre so inspiring. Katie Impressed with your video taping! Over dinner, you have to share your experience with Tony. Fabulous!
Teresa, thank you so much. Definitely share some "dust" secrets. We can thank Leah brooks for this great way to process home grown goodness!
I quit growing seeds because it took me 2 months to grow peppers the same size as yours under expensive grow lights. Then when I hardened them off, I planted them and they all died after the last day of frost. I strictly buy transplants from Home Depot or Walmart now. I was pissed.
I understand, believe me. I've had frustrating seasons, too. I would encourage you to not give up. You're not gardening if you're not killing plants. Where are you located?

Confederate rose is one of those old-fashioned plants that folks pass along. And that's why you don't see them for sale much in the nurseries. Thank's Gary!
🎉🎉❤
I thought peppers didn't like their roots messed with
Seedings are very tolerant
Wow! Those are beautiful plants and so well packaged.
Enjoy the new plants 👍 looking forward to hearing how Kate likes the tomato and how big the plant gets.
Dang.
This is a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, that's funny! Great editing! It got my attention! 🍅
Glad you enjoyed it! I was having fun
Hi, what are the arm sleeves for? UV protection?
UV protection, as I have had way too many skin cancers :( I love these sleeves from Farmers Defense and there's lots and lots of patterns and colors
@@HeritageCottageUrbanNanoFarm Makes sense. I would too. I'm wearing the sun hats these days. At 58, my skin is getting thinner/crepey. Maybe I should as well, but I've heard some sun is good for my age as well.
I’m stealing that idea when transplanting lol
So did I, it works great
@@HeritageCottageUrbanNanoFarm first year of transplanting for me and your video made it so much easier, thanks and happy gardening
Thanks I'm in the Northeast. I just put in my seeds yesterday.
some of my onion green have turned yellow . should I spray them with any thing?
Hard to say. can you send a picture? gary@gary-grows.com
Thank you for showing this.
congratulations bro
Ebay seller can't be located. Link would be nice, or better yet, their website.
Trying to see if buying is worth it compared to seeding 3 trays which is easy.
