Highly recommend you make more videos like the "What is the best?" series comparing chili peppers, fertilizers, soils, etc. Always cool to see.
Thanks, will keep that in mind going into this season 👍
What is the best chili then?
@@PepperGeek hey pepper geek. Hopefully you see this!! I have totally been into the idea of olla’s have you ever used them for your peppers?
What do you think?
So excited it's time to start gardening, and getting gardening videos, again.
😬us tooooooo
Great video! As someone who grows peppers in a greenhouse in Alaska, this is super helpful!
Love your channel!
Wow, that's incredible! Hope you can get some tasty peppers
Those dwarf varieties are so pretty!
They're fun to sprinkle in around the garden. No super practical, but nice to look at ☺️
So glad to have found your channel! Very excited for this season, hadn't been able to grow for two years while caring for my parents. Got Chocolate Habanero, Trinidad Scorpion, Bleeding Sawtooth, Sugar Rush Peach Stripy, Lemon Spice Jalapeño & Jalapeño Tiger sprouting!
Happy growing to all!!
Glad you are able to garden this season. You'll have a lot of heat in the garden with those varieties, and flavor! Thanks for stopping by.
love getting different pepper suggestions from you guys! Its how I get my pepper news, half the varieties I'm growing this year are from your suggestions over the years
That's awesome! I hope we've steered you in the right direction. Good luck this season 🌶️
@@PepperGeek We'll see! I had my first chinense sprout, good luck to yall as well
This year, I got seeds started, already, for Datil peppers, Puma peppers, Thai Red Chilis, Kalugeritsa peppers, and seeds I saved from some of those mini sweet peppers Sam's Club sells. Only four days on the heating mat, so, no sprouts, yet. Last year, my area had weeks of haze from the Canadian wildfires, which, I think, stunted my peppers, because it limited the sun and warmth.
I grew lemon spice jalapeno and they were very productive.
That's great, we had some issues with pests on ours (seems like stink bugs like the yellow varieties in our area)
I'll vouch for tabascos being ridiculously slow to produce and ripen, especially for small peppers. They do have some special properties, like being solid and juicy and with a low volume of seeds, which is convenient for making hot sauce without having to cut them up much. But I just grew them again last year after just growing tabaneros (tabasco / habanero hybrids), and was disappointed at how much less taste the tabascos have, as well as being slower to produce and smaller. Tyler Farms now has tabanero seeds for sale, I'm trying them alongside my own this year to see how they compare.
I agree with what you said about the larger cayenne varieties. I grew NumEx Nematador last year and they would start drying out and going soft around 95% ripeness. I was forced to pick them quickly and freeze to save for sauces later on. I have some superhots that stay nice and crisp for a month after picking so the cayenne is kind of a pain in this regard, even though they are very tasty.
Mini orange bell, they produced a decent amount, ripened pretty quick and tasted like a normal orange bell pepper just in a tiny package.
I grew the orange spice jalapeno last year. Really good flavor, spice and super productive plants. For shishitos, I like to throw them whole into my air fryer! So easy!
I grew a habanero plant in michigan. Overwintered it and did not trim it much. Put it back out and got so many more peppers. I have some dried, some frozen. I finally retired the plant but she was a monster.
Anaheims grow great in my garden in Indiana.
Thanks for the Ace Bell Pepper recommendation. Last May 12th, I put out two Helios Habanero pepper plants (about 3-4 inches in height at the time) I grew from seeds (which I winter-sowed on April 7th outside in distilled water jugs). By late July I was getting peppers and the plants continued to be very prolific well into mid-October when I put that garden to bed. This was in central Indiana where the growing season seems to be getting longer. I had a similar success with Red Rocket Cayenne peppers on the same schedule as the Helios. Thanks again for your channel. We love hot peppers at our house!
Can you do a video on what pepper plants are considered large and should be in their own grow bag versus having multiple in one grow bag?
Hm, you mean large plant size? Generally speaking, I like to plant 1 plant per pot no matter what, unless your grow bags are huge, in which case I'd stick to 12-18" spacing minimum. The only exceptions are compact varieties like dwarf types and maybe Thai peppers which can stay fairly small
Yes thank you. I have some 20 gallon bags and people are saying you can plant 4 pepper plants in it I figured I'd get another opinion
I love the early jalapeno. I am doing about five of them this year. That way I should have enough peppers to have some every day.
LOL Sugar Rush Peach, I love them so much but they're so frustrating. I'm in South Jersey and they don't go ripe for me until October into November. I started them in February!
I just ordered a pack of seeds for Medusa. I'll start some indoors the day I get the seeds, the others I want to direct sow.
Very nice, early jalapeño is a great supplement to other, bigger varieties. Always nice to have fresh jalapeños all season long.
sweet sunset banana peppers and "Peppers Early Prolific Hybrid" for green peppers are what I grow in zone 3 for early harvests and large harvests. Not sure if same as ones you mentioned under a different name , the green peppers are 3 lobe 55 day and live up to their name producing large amounts of small bell peppers early enough for me to get 2 or 3 harvests in my short season. the banana peppers are even faster then the bells and even larger in some cases. I think the store re-names some seeds as same varieties found no where else by name but description matches some other named varieties sold elsewhere.
I overwintered my tabascos and cowhorn because they take so long to produce. Trying to give them a head start this year.
So many comments, if anyone already gave the same recomendation I aplogize.
A very early Capsicum chinense is the (in terms of Habanero) mild Habanero variety 'Lemon'. It's one of my favourite Habaneros.
So glad pepper geek is back for the year I am growing peppers for 2nd year so fun !!!!!
Glad to hear it, hope you can outdo yourself this season!
Hey i just bought lemon jalapeno seeds to grow. I already have habanero and tabasco plants 😁 . My aji charapita is 5 months old and not growing fruit yet, damn. I'm running out of patience
Thank you for this video! I am a spice wimp and appreciate the options you provided. I have taken good notes.
I love Anaheim🥰
Oh, forgot to add Ace is a favorite of mine. I'm in southern Maryland and I appreciate the quick growing before stinkbugs get bad. I really enjoyed a variety called jingle bells many years ago that was small but extremely early and prolific but is no longer on the market.
Thanks Pepper Geek. Enjoy trying different varieties. Even with the green house most take too long to mature where I am. It's not all about temperature, but Sunshine, we just don't get much of that here. Thank Canada for smoking out last years garden, gotta love it. Maybe this year?
Best of luck this season! Yep, most plants won't grow too much if they aren't getting at least 12 hours of total light each day. Supplemental light might help if you're open to it!
I grew some red Giant Marconi peppers last year. They were delicious, but man did they take forever to ripen
I live in Michigan, and grew Sugar Rush Peach for the first time last year. Unfortunately, there wasnt enough time for them to ripen. Baker Creek doesnt put days to maturity times on their packets (which sucks because thats where i get only my peppers from). But still, they are nice and HOT! Not too overwhelming when combining with jalapeños in salsa, but i did have to label the ones with only these as fiery. This year i will grow them in grow bags and extend their season with my greenhouse. I hope.
I thought that was strange he mentioned SRP, because my Baker Creek seeds germinated quickly and produced most of last summer, whereas my other varieties kinda flopped. So many variables I suppose.
I've been experimenting with planting early for two kinds. I have a very large sunroom, so, having a half dozen-10 plants that get larger, before transplanting is not an issue from point of view of Room, or Sunlight. I want to see if I can get an earlier crop this season.
I like the House Pepper variants like the Sibirian House Pepper, Hungarian House Pepper and Turkish House Peppers. Very sturdy plants with a lot of harvest and can grow in a medium climate (21 - 23 degree celsius), especially the Siberian House Pepper. That plant could grow in a greenhouse or even indoors on a southerly window in a region like Alaska or Iceland. It usually grows very quickly with a huge yield during the short summer days in Siberia and is perfect for the region where I live (Western Europe). Even so they grow in mild conditions they hate overwatering as every plant does, especially when outdoors and it rains a lot.
Thanks, your videos are always worth while. I will be trying to put some aji varieties in small containers this season. I have found the Cajun Belle to produce earlier than most. I eat some green because I just can not wait. These are like jalapenos, good green and better red.
Great video. Could you make a video on snack peppers? I'd like to grow a sweet pepper that's loaded in the way a habanero plant is.
Got my Helios seedlings started already. I may have bitten off more heat than I can chew though, I didn't realize they were gonna be so hot.
Yeah tobacco peppers harvest better in longer growing regions. Giving more than 2 harvests
Can you make video about growing habanada peppers and shishito pepper s( soil, pot size, fertiliser and best growing position). Please
I'm trying a variety of C. baccatum this year called Aji Rico, it's supposed to mature to green in just 50 days and red in 70 days.
Awesome, we're doing a few new aji varieties that have been suggested over the years including aji cristal, a similar-looking variety. Good luck with aji rico!
Just planted all my seeds earlier today. Been meaning to for a week lol.
That's exciting! We'll be planting a small batch of early peppers/tomatoes soon.
I like Lipstick (it tastes, looks, and grows almost identical to a sweet thick walled Paprika variety, but ripens about 3 weeks sooner). Ashe County Pimento sets fruit early (fine for green bland peppers) but don't seem to ripen any faster than a run of the mill Cheese pepper variety (80+ days).
Does the goronong pepper taste good? I'm from Malaysia and just heard about it after watching your video "best peppers of 2022." Would be looking forward to plant them in my house if they are good
Great info, thank you!
Hello! I really enjoy this channel and your Geeky Greenhouse channel. A couple summers ago you distributed some scotch bonnet yellow seeds to patreon members. That’s been my favorite pepper I’ve grown and I was curious where you obtained the seeds from? I would love to purchase some for this season and try to save seeds for coming seasons. I appreciate all your videos. Cheers!
excellent info. thanks for this!
Last year the slugs and snails enjoyed most of my pepper crop. I plan to grow more on an upper deck this year to mitigate that loss. Do you have recommendations for pot size, verities that work best in containers, etc. thank you.
I would suggest smaller pod-size varieties, such as cayennes, Thai chilies, habaneros, and jalapeños. These will give you a decent yield, even in smaller pots (3-5 gallons or larger is ideal). Growing in containers is nice because you can keep the plants smaller simply by planting in a smaller pot.
@@PepperGeek Thank you!
I’m trying to create hybrid pepper with Thai chili and Gaujillo pepper, is it possible? Also any videos you have to guide me making hybrids? Thanks
Thanks for another great video
Thanks for watching! ☺️
I just got numex lemon japapenos
Enjoy! That was one of the first peppers we grew.
Greetings pepper geek. Have you tried germinating seeds from dried peppers that you can buy at the grocery store? Like guajillo, puya, or Pasilla? If so did you have any success?
Hi! New subscriber here. I ordered Gurney triple delight bullhorn variety and it says 65-70 days maturity. Do you have any experience with these?
Great video,did you do a video a couple of months back about the megatron jalapeño and where to get seeds? Thanks and keep up the great job!
No, I believe we sent out an email suggestion that variety a few weeks back. They are available at Botanical Interests: www.botanicalinterests.com/products/megatron-jalapeno-chile-pepper-seeds
What's your "sweet spot" on your heat mat for your peppers? I know it supposed to be 80-90*, but everyone has their sweet spot temperature.
We usually set it to 80°F
What about Thai chilis or birds eye peppers? How long and how difficult are they to grow?
They're somewhere in the middle. You can harvest them green though, so if you're okay with that they may be considered "early." I love Thai chilies for their nice, compact plant size and that plants can get loaded with chilies in good sunny conditions. Worth a shot!
@PepperGeek Yes. I like to make my own Sriracha sauce. The true recipe uses Thai chilis. When the sauce was bought and brought to California, they used red jalapeños. The Rooster Sriracha sauce uses red jalapeños. But that actual true recipe uses Thai chilis. And people around me love it. It's alot hotter also. Lol.
My sugar rush Amarillo was the first to ripen this year with a wet summer
Would you know or have a list or know of a list of peppers that grow best in USDA Zone 6 (6b)? I want a different variety but Google doesn't seem to give me an answer on which peppers will do best.
I have loved growing peppers indoors, but each time I've tried, I get spider mites. In Pennsylvania if that matters. I've tried neem oil, but my other plants don't love that. Any tips?
I'm new to growing peppers. How large should the plants be before they are planted out? Thanks.
That's less important than the temperature outdoors - we typically aim for it to be consistently above 55°F overnight before transplanting out. You can do it earlier by using cold protection (row fabric, cloche)
Thank you that helps.
In the beginning of your video you show a picture of a plant that has yellow peppers in various stages changing to red. last year I planted seeds that were suppose to be giant jalapeno peppers and got that exact picture of peppers. Can you PLEASE tell me what kind that is? I couldn't figure it out
That plant was the *Jaloro* variety, it is a yellow jalapeño type. We weren't huge fans of them: Not a great flavor, thin walls, lots of seeds inside.
So starting them early indoors in January or February won't really give you an advantage then?
It can, if you give the plants enough soil to grow to a fairly large size. If you keep them constrained in a small pot for months indoors, you're not doing the plants any favors
@@PepperGeek oh very good to know 🤔 thank you for explaining
Super good video. Thanks! FYI, hot chillies are extremely healthy for about 40% of the world population. Hot chillies will clean out your arteries. My new blog posts will bear this out. The problem is that the people who need to eat them will most likely never watch your videos because they don't have any craving for them. For the most part, people will continue to eat what they have a craving for, which does not include these hot chillies. Here is what I don't care for: these super-hot chilli strains. This will definitely discourage these people who need to eat them because they are so seriously hot. Just something to consider ... ❤
In my zone 5a/4b MN garden, I can grow Aji Lemon Drop and Aji Rainforest reliably. Aji Dulce has given me trouble 2yrs in a row - 3rd times the charm, I'm sure! Ajis are delicious and very productive - don't entirely overlook them if you're in the North. There's an Aji out there for you.
Sugar Rush peach is one of my favs. ❤❤
It’s a great variety, but they do take a lonnngg time to ripen!
@PepperGeek yes they do but so worth the wait.
@@user-vl5bj6of2s kind of against the point of the video then, though
@@CaerEsthar so what....he mentioned them. 🤪
@@CaerEsthardid you watch the video or just come to complain?
My banana pepper is dropping flowers :(
