#peppers #autumn #gardening - Навчання та стиль
Here in Norway the season is barely long enough. Some plants simply have to be moved indoors to produce ripe fruit. Extending the season by planting early and indoors is the single most effective solution. And temember, unripe peppers are edible too!
Awesome plan. I love this channel. Hope you've checked out all the videos for
Pepper Geek. I've had so much success
Same here in nova Scotia. I have heaters going as I had a late start and need them to ripen.
It is true that all peppers are edible, but the taste of very small unripe pods is seldom good -- usually taste improves as they at least get to full size. But on the other hand -- I am very curious whether the super-long summer days in Norway can help ripen them faster, using a greenhouse if needed to keep them warm enough to ripen.
@@davidniemi6553 I think there is a limit on how much some they can use during the day
@@davidniemi6553 Here in the south of Norway 18 hours days seems to help, but spring and autumn is just not hot enough. Using a greenhouse helps a lot, but the season is still too short for a lot of varieties.
I found this channel early last year and have grown several types of peppers. They fascinate me. I can't seem to wrap my head around the plant making such a hot pepper from nothing more (or not much more) than what other plants do. I love growing them and feel emotional just letting them die. I'm involved with these damn plants. 😂
Over winter them to let them die. The Geek has a video on how to do this.
*not let them die
@@wilsondent220 Yeah, I saw it but that's a lot of work with limited space, no grow lights, and near Chicago. I'll just have to be sad for now but I appreciate you taking the time to inform me. 👍
My brother is also growing chillis & help him keep them warm. We live in a zone 7ish so I cover them with a frost cover, warm up old cooking oil we used, put the top & close it & instead of putting it standing I lay the bottles so that the plants stay warm from bottom 2, top. That's a tip if U'all didn't, know. Happy Gardening.
Thank you. In addition to the great information, I really appreciate a channel that doesn't assault my ears with annoying "music" drowning out the speaker! Subscribed.
Today I dug up all of the pepper plants and brought them into the basement and put them in 55 gallon barrels that are cut lengthwise and underneath grow lights. The peppers will ripen eventually. It's supposed to get 30° tonight.
Excellent video. Alot of people also sorta under estimate how much cold pepper plants can tolerate too. Many chop them down in September, but in my NY zone 6a, I've had pepper plants last all the way to Halloween, sometimes not even protecting them all that much.
Yep that’s for sure, it depends a lot on exposure. Our garden plot has no protection so the plants die back much earlier than the plants near our house
I've found exposure to be a big factor too. I have a bed on the south side of my garage, and the pepper plants I have there are doing noticeably better than the same varieties in my other garden that is more in the open. Also, densely planted pepper plants survive cold (and drought) much better than sparse plantings; though some of my pepper plants have gotten so massive they are shading out other smaller plants. Still working on a happy medium.
@@PepperGeek Yea my plants are all in containers on a back patio, so they are close to the house and though it does get windy, it's a south side facing patio that is shielded quite a bit. I also have 3 pepper plants per container, and they are all close to each other. I also just put up a cheap pop up green house yesterday and will be using that this week, since this week we absolutely will need it with Highs only being 47 and lows being 38 until the weekend where it'll warm up again.
@@davidniemi6553 definitely exposure is huge. Mine are planted 3 per container and near the house on a back Southside facing patio.
As of this week, they are in a cheap pop up greenhouse because the weather has dropped down to mid 40s as the high. Next week will be warmer. At the end of October, they will be pruned all the way back, dug up, and re potted for overwintering indoors.
@@Bigmanoncampus888 I have a cheap little greenhouse too (my second one after the first one deteriorated). I'm not sure it is really useful -- i've monitored its internal temperature and on a cold night it is only about 3F/2C warmer than the outside air, and on a sunny day it gets way too hot. I think a larger greenhouse with a lot more thermal mass would be a lot more useful, but I have limited sites to put one.
Peppers are just a lot of fun and sometimes challenging to grow. Think of the challenge as part of the fun.
Some good tips for all zones there ,nice Job 👍
In Italy now it's kinda hot so my peppers out are still fine and producing flowers and peppers... that's so cool
almost all my warm weather crop were dead and gone, and only some cold weather (lettuces, greens, peas, etc) were still left. EXCEPT, for my sweet banana pepper, and lemon drop aiji
I feel like I did pretty much all these things in pretty good timing this year. Just dug up my peppers and brought them in on fri and it's looking like we've got a freeze coming all next week.
For preserving hot peppers, I like (1) pickled chunky peppers (2) cooked hot sauces (3) hot pepper relish. Water-bath canned, they last a long long time and are just game-changer condiments on many foods. Italian subs, tacos, etc. Even the unripe green peppers toward first frost make a nice green hot sauce.
Yup, mine got the frost before I even realized it was getting too cold. I was busy with building a shed and splitting wood, then I noticed all the pepper plants were dying.
What a cutie doggie!!
Agree planted after seeing weather reports under 50s and had my earliest peppers and most peppers
24 bell plants and produce over 300 bells
They love mulch in fall and compose in spring and bone meal
I live in western MA, I started mine this year on Feb 14th. Mine Turned into monster's this summer. I have so many Ultra Hot's IDK what to do with them. Have a ton fermenting. Have a ton frozen. Have a brown paper bag half full. Just overwintered everything this week. Thanks for all your hard work, love the channel!
Time for a second freezer? Maybe expand your collection of fermentation containers? Try selling some of the peppers fresh or frozen on e.g. fb marketplace, or giving them to your friends. It might be a good way to prevent the waste even if the money isn't really worth the work of growing the peppers.
If you're looking for a change in your life, grow a huge garden next year and sell it as a CSA to your neighbors.
I live in south Louisiana so my winters are quite mild. What I usually do is pick any ripe ones, and any unripe ones I also pick then set in a sunny windowsill to ripen. Im going to attempt to overwinter my Manzano pepper plants, I've heard they can handle colder temps, see how it goes. Keep up the great content, your channel is the best there is, period.

Id also say, that if you are in cold climate, consider growing only baccatums. They do much better inthe beggining and int the end of the season: when annuums and chinense are really struggling to survive, they flower and set fruit.
@@ttb1513 specific varieties? Why, this would be true for any variety of each specie. If someone doesnt know the specie, just google it. To make it clear, i dont mean baccatums tolerate frost, im telling +10C cold. In my climate we got: may - cold nights, +15 or warmer days, june - +10...+15 days and nights, july +18 nights, +20...+25 days. In these conditions baccatums flowered and set fruit in may. Every other specie was stunted and sad.
Thanks for the update on temps. I followed you tip to remove first peppers last spring.
I've got green and red bells on nice healthy plants. Zone 6 a. I'll be watching temps. You do have great videos on your channel. Thanks for all your work helping us succeed.
I have only two pepper plants growing, been a decade since I last grew peppers. I have my plants at backyard and have been covering them for a month at nights and some days too. I live in northern Europe, first frost was about a month ago. I will try to overwinter my peppers according to your previous post, but I haven't has guts to do that yet. I hope it works and maybe I will get ahead a couple of weeks early next season. I am also planning to try build some sort of "greenhouse" that will stand on my backyard at southside. It needs to be something small gainst the wall so I get as much heat as possible. Looking forward to your future posts, I need all tips available!
Great vid. I am in New Zealand and it's spring so my plants that I started from seeds in winter are doing great, we don't have a long enough warm season so that is why I start early. My over-wintered jalapeno plants from last year have bounced back and are already producing pods! I got the idea from your channel. Thanks pepper geeks!
When your discussing when to plant seeds early it would be nice to know your first and last frost dates and when you plant indoors and out so we can adjust our planting
Thanks
This vid feels a lil late. Zone 7 here and we're already expecting a 31F frost tonight. My peppers are done. Already dug up, pruned, and moved all the ones I wanted to save from the raised bed to grow bags for overwintering last week and cut down the last cherry tomato plant that was still producing today to harvest it easier. Now is the time to build new beds for next year while the days are still warm but not triple digits. Summer was brutal hot and unusually dry here this year.
Thank you so much for your channel I love assorted chilli's and cook them fresh and you have inspired me to do more.
Thanks for all your info 👍 I take my peppers indoor ,zone 8b . All summer in the greenhouse ,i have cut them back to about 40 cm . This year trying a planthotel nearby with 6 peppers Reaper /Habanero e.a .from November to may hope it works , no frost in the planthotel greenhouse but they start warming from about 2° Celsius. 😬
Good stuff! I think I'll grow more potted peppers next year so I can move them.
Another Great Video, Thanks!
The beard is looking good.
Thank you for the great tips! 👍
It's Summer in South Africa... but as previously mentioned.... continue.🤔
I'm so glad I found your channel just before the start of my growing season. Your information has been invaluable and I had a fantastic hot pepper harvest all summer long. I'm in Eastern NC and am lucky I get a few extra weeks out of the year than the NE so I'm planning on using your advice in this video to get a couple more weeks in. Thanks for all the videos and tips AND producing them in a way that is easy to understand without a lot of gardening jargon as well as a sense of humor :)
This was fantastic. Thank you. We already had our first snow here. Brrr....get ready everybody. Winter is coming.
Love you guys...... love that beard bro!
Just started growing some cayenne peppers from seeds here in WA and wanted to know how cold weather will have an impact on growing. This video helped me and I'm looking forward to trying your tips.
thank you for the tips!!! I did some Sugar Rush Peach and Red this year and absolutely blown away by one of my plants. hundreds.... on it! The others did pretty well. Maybe 40 or 50 per plant.
Extra tip. Once freezing starts cut off the plant, remove all foilige and hang the plants upside down inside. Make sure they receive enough light, you can use growing lights
have you tried the aerogarden or any of those kinds of systems for indoor gardening
Hey, Thank you for the informative videos. Since I live in a cold weather area, I was planning on bringing a potted habanero pepper plant inside and wished to keep it for next year. After bringing it inside and putting it under lights, it started flowering again. I hadn’t given it fertilizer and had slowed down watering to not stimulate it but it seems it’s still ready to keep producing. Does the pepper plant need a dormancy period to keep up production next year or is it ok to feed it and keep up production through the winter and the following year? Most of the videos talk about overwintering but I haven’t seen many recommending keeping production up. Thank you (and the community) for advice!
We are about to experience our first near frost temperatures in the Southeast US, so I plan to employ mulching and containers of warm water to protect my plants, maybe cover them, too. I'll use leaves raked from the yard (primarily pecan leaves and pine needles) and water in used jugs.
I'll be covering mine then probably bring them in. Zone 6a. east coast USA
Fermenting peppers is so easy and tasty, and they last months in the fridge. Place finished sauce into small pepper bottles and give them away for gifts during the holidays.
Nice tips! 👍But what do you mean don't know what to do with peppers? You eat them! Makes the mouth go BRRRRR! 🤪 I usually make some powder and finely chop some up and freeze them as ice cubes. The I can just chuck a "spicy ice cube" in when I'm cooking!
Wow a charapita
I wish I knew peppers wouldnt ripen during winter before lol, I waited the entirety of last winter for my firecrackers that didnt have enough time to turn red for them to finally ripen just as it was starting to warm up a bit. All my plants survived outside temps though, some even really took off growth wise in the winter. From memory nights tend to float 4 degrees north or south of 10 degrees celcius on the colder side. It gets chilly (heh). I think seasol seaweed health tonic is what carried my plants through the winter, that's all I ever gave them, no protection from the australian wind, frost or sun and they made it haha.
Hey i got three pepper plants that are fruiting how often should i add some compost
You guys should do a video on grafting, I've just attempted to graft 5 different species onto one plant. Im two days in so far and theyre looking alright, see how it goes but id love for a video with your usual level of informity on grafting pepper plants. There is evidence of success with grafting peppers with different species of pepper as well as stuff like tomato. My little chimera has "rootstock" from a fire plant which is a cayenne variety but ive stripped it down to its main stems and on each branch I've grafted a branch from one of my other plants, it has 3 branches in either direction in a pretty uniform fashion. Ive grafter two purple tiger scions, two bishops crown(one on the side of the main stem), one trinidad scorpion and one habanero scion, ive left two branches open for white naga and yellow 7 pod when i have mature enough plants to donate a scion, my root stock is definitely a little young at one year but if it works im going to have these super large branches that fruit wide sections of different peppers rather than a bush with a few differen ones on one or two branches. It would be really cool to see what techniques and pepper species yield interesting and successful combinations for you guys, it could roll onto further videos about the cross bred species you would get from the seeds of those plants too haha.
How did this grafted plant turn out now that it's a year later? Where can I find the best info on grafting pepper plants? I'm intrigued!
My one and only tip for overwintering Chilli plants. Move....somewhere.....warmer....
My pepper season is just about done. Over the past couple of weeks, temps here have dropped to daytime highs of 50 and lows under 40. All my outside in bed peppers are dying or dead, except (oddly), the two hottest peppers I am growing. Strangely, the Cayenne and Thai chili plants seem unaffected by the cold. Not sure how that works.
50 degree days, 32-33 degree nights here in N. ILLINOIS.
Manzano peppers won’t ripen, plants look fine. Will they ripen with these temperatures? Should I pick them and ripen In brown paper bag?
Quick I need help! My pepper plants are currently in a green house and most of them are about six inches tall and more than half are sagging. I make sure to have it ventilated and it Is a decent warm but not hot. I don't know what to do. I water them when they seem right which is when the soil is dry (usually about once or twice a week may).
Hello, I was wondering if you had any tips on how I can water my peppers if I have to go away for about a weeks time or so. I will be growing them in containers, and will have to be away for about a week or so. Is there any easy solution for this so that my plants can stay healthy?
The temperatures here at night are like 7-8°C, so its around 45°F., and during the day its 25°C, or 77°F. I have my plants in pots, I started in late may, had problems in june so they just started having flowers, and I really want to make them work. Is it too stressful for them to put them indoors over night and back out during the day? Also one night I was not able to put them inside during the night only, so they stayed indoors for 24hours. Is that bad?
I'm trying to ripen the unripe peppers in a paper bag. Have you tried this?
What happened with the overwintered peppers? I don't remember seeing them in any of the videos since the un-overwintering video and I'm guessing the ghost pepper never made it overwintering
What size grow bag is that pepper plant in ?
That is a 5 gallon, but we prefer the 7 gallon for the wider stance (they don't fall over as much)
Growing a species of peppers (Capsicum Flexuosum) that supposedly can survive sub freezing temps. I will let you know how it goes.
Tried those last year and they didn't get far beyond the seedling stage before dying :(. Might try again, despite our weather apparently being too cold for them in winter
How did it go?
@derwynmdockenjr didn't get it past the seedling stage, sadly. I've reached out to the supplier for some advice. He's only about 60 Km (40 miles) north of me.
What is that pepper! I was given one and I've been keeping it going for a few years now. I call it a Chupacabra. But you call it a conchito?
I have a question.
Can you extend the life of the peppers if you don't pick them from the plant, but rather chop off branches and then keep them on the branches until you can get to them.
I have about 200 plants inground and knowing I can't Harvest and package and dry everything I was planning on just chopping the plants down and storing them in my basement until I can get to them. Or at least chop off the branches with the most peppers and store them the same. To me it seems like the peppers will last longer rather than picking them individually but I could be wrong. Kind of like how grocery stores sell tomatoes on the vine. It looks pretty but I'm curious if it prolongs the life of the tomatoes?
I do this every year when a hard freeze is coming -- after a freeze is too late as the pods will get damaged and turn mushy. So I cut off branches with many unripe but full size pods, remove the leaves, and put the cut bottoms of the branches in water indoors (the leaves can harbor aphids etc., and dry up quickly making a mess, so you might as well take them off right away). It can buy you two good weeks of ripening time, a lot better than just setting the pods on a counter; though some varieties work better than others. This technique is also useful if you accidentally break a branch with good pods on it. But if the pods are already ripe, it is more work than just picking the pods and putting them in the refrigerator until you are ready to process them.
Why do pepper seedling turn black?
Temperaturemental
I just trashed my pepper plant 12 hours ago, sigh.
Trim off the entire branch feeding peppers deemed too young, rather than just the peppers themselves then?
