I had been struggling with whiteflies killing my indoor and balcony garden chile pepper plants. I found that a couple of cloves of garlic blended with a little water and sprayed on the plants once per week solved it. :D #BuenProvecho
Good catch New Heaven. So called self proclaimed knowledgeable types seem to perpetuate false information. The pith as you stated is the heat. Sometimes seeds can maintain a bit of this pith flesh on the outside of the seed for some heat, but seeds themselves have no heat.
AMEN, one of the oldest myth's ever; the heat is in the pith. Along with onions make you cry; actually, the duller the knife, the more your eyes water. Sharpen your knives!
I just planted a bunch of varieties of peppers yesterday and I'm so hopeful they grow! I live in a USDA zone 9 climate that gets less than 4 inches of rain and is pretty warm so it can be a challenge to grow anything that isn't a weed or cactus. My first experiment with gardening - growing poppies - took a few attempts until I learned they can't be transplanted (wet paper towel trick does make poppy seeds sprout, but they can't survive the transplant) and could keep them alive past sprouts. Then to get actual, proper, four-foot tall poppies instead of stunties, I had to do all sorts of weird stuff like freeze the seeds in the fridge and then thaw them repeatedly to simulate frost and then I had plant them in December (might freeze for a couple hours two or three mornings at most so frost wasn't an issue) so they had time to grow before it got too warm, but then because the days are much shorter in winter I had to set up a 430 watt lamp to give them an extra four hours of simulated sunlight to get them to grow up healthy. Point being: eventually my first attempt at gardening produced healthy, honest-to-goodness plants the way they were 'supposed' to be...but following 'the directions' didn't work and it took tons of experimentation and failures until I got there. I really hope I've learned enough general gardening stuff growing my flowers that it doesn't take two years to produce an edible habanaro or jalapeno and I don't have to repeat the process I did with my poppies! I've never grown anything edible before, and I will be so proud if I'm able to make this work. Says it takes 7 - 14 days for most of the eight varieties I planted to germinate. Fingers crossed!
I had a plant that I uprooted and put in a pot and trimmed it back and put it in my grow window and kept it all winter long and transplanted it into a 5 gallon bucket and just harvested about 30 peppers off of it. Try it I was delightful surprised on how well it regrew the next year
Thanks mate - an excellent and very useful video. Where I am marooned; during the Coronavirus pandemic, I have started a garden. These peppers cut into sections as shown 11.25, served on biscuits with cheese are my favourite when having an afternoon tipple. As it is so extremely hot and humid where I am - South-East Asia, there is no need to start from seedlings - seeds sown direct to soil always give the best results. Once again. Thank you for an very useful video - appreciated.
I tried to 'top' or prune my peppers last year and it stunted the whole plant. It never grew. So, this year I am just leaving them alone and seeing what happens. I planted 6 different types of peppers and I am so excited to see if any of them grow. Thank you for this video.
Pruning is overrated anyways, lol. It can do wonders if the plants are thriving, but mine dont thrive until much later in the season. Good luck with your 6 types of peppers!
lining up all the stages of the jalepeno's was such a great help! other people just say pick them when they are a dark green. from your side by side I'd say wait for the dots/lines :)
Nice video, but correct me if I'm wrong. Two different varieties of chili planted next to each can cross pollinate, BUT that cross only affects the genetic makeup of the seed... not the flesh. If you saved those seeds for the following year and planted them, the "mother" plant that is grown from them will have the characteristics of the cross and will produce the flesh of the cross, if that makes sense. But in terms of accidentally crossing a mild and a hot chili, it will not affect the current years crop as those genetics are inherent in the seed you used to grow the original plant.
I'll find out first hand next year as right now I've got half a dozen Thai bird's eye chilies growing right next to some red bell peppers. I'll be saving the seeds as well.

My aunt who was a prolific chili pepper grower used to let the bees cross pollinate and she ended up with searing hot and mild peppers on one plant. For my family it was always fun to see who'd get the raging hot pepper!
I have actually eaten both, Bell peppers and Squash peppers that crossed with Cayenne that was in the same area of the peach orchard the were planted in. Maybe just the shock of biting into one not expecting the heat? Had to be the hottest pepper I ever put in my mouth. I have seen the same with Banana peppers.
No, the pepper patch was split with hot peppers on one end and bells and squash on the other. About 50 feet apart or so. There were onions and garlic spotted throughout a peach orchard there with 5 trees in it. Either bees or wind crossed the hots to the bells and squash. I normally just grab a pepper as I walk by a plant and snack. I grabbed a squash and took a bite. It was like fire. I checked the bells too. They were VERY warm but not like the squash. We used the squash for pickling in sweet pickles, but not this year. The next year we moved them to opposite sides of the house and everything was fine. The seeds were bought and not home grown.
Great video, my brother was a culinary student and taught me to cut the peppers the way you do.At the end of the season when you have a lot I like to pickle them using a bread and butter recipe they are great on hot dogs
In your video I think you said you have to use the seeds right away, I'm not supposed to dry them and save them for next year ? Thank you for a very thorough video.
I don't know man. In that big planter, I'd say its perfect for one. I use those round tomato cages for mine. We grow em big in the south. Great content man. Nice details and clarity.
Thank you for this video, I'm gonna start growing peppers for the first time and it helped a lot. Only thing i'm interested in, transplanting Jalapenos? Why is it bad? I've got those plastic (sun cells?) you showed ready for my first Jalapenos. Or should I go for some bigger pots?
I was cutting jalapenos with no gloves and realized I forgot to get an ingredient I needed. I went into the grocery store and I went to scratch near my eye and a jalapeno seed, caught under my nail, went into my eye. The pain was crazy. My eye swelled up and I had tears and snot going everywhere. Finally a grocery store employee saw me and gave me a big bottle they kept in the back meant to clean out your eye if you got a chemical in it.
Hello 👋 I liked the tips in the video. I’ve just started a garden about six months ago. My jalapeño plant is growing so well. I bought one already started, it was about four inches tall, now nearly a foot tall. It’s only produced two peppers but has a ton of flowers. I think I have a problem in Vegas with pollination, do you have any tips to manually pollinate?
I'm growing a jalapeno plant in a 30cm pot on my balcony. I live in Norway, so in May and early June i only put it outside on warm days, because we could still get snow. It's outside all the time now, and i have 5 peppers growing and a whole lot of big flowers. it's about a metre high and seems really healthy. It really loves sunlight, and you should let the soil dry out before you water it.
@@BobbyBaloney They are not fully grown yet, and this is the first time i'm trying peppers, so i really hope they will grow all the way. The plant seems to be doing well. I'll leave a comment in a month or two and let you know how it went :)
Thank you for your instructions on how to properly cut and grow these peppers for the life of me I couldn’t get these things started and now I know why Thank you again
I did this but I didn't dry them first, just put them straight away into wet paper towel, plastic zip lock bag (upcycled a cheese zip bag) and it took a week plus to germinate. After a week they started growing roots and stems in the actual paper towel. Eventually I just transplanted them into soil! Did same with capsicum!
Really enjoyed your video. Appreciate the in depth info. Your explanation was so thorough. We can't wait to try this. Wish u bountiful blessings of everything for sharing your knowledge...Thank u😊🙏
Good instructional. I'm trying to grow jalapenos for the first time this year. They're a few inches tall now, a few of them look pretty healthy. I hope I didn't wait until too late in the season. Really looking forward to some home-grown jalepenos in a burrito!
Hmm, they do often wilt in the heat but spring back at night or in the shade. Wrinkling could be another issue, I dont know exactly why that would happen, could a pest or disease. Sorry I cant be of more help.
I dried out my Hatch pepper seeds, Jalapeno, and Bell. Then I stored them in a plastic prescription container that was used for pills. Then I put them in my shed. It can get under 32 F in winter. (southern Az.) It is now May 1st. They have been in the ground for over 2 weeks. The temperature has been 90F with lows in the mid 50'sF. I tried germinating the seeds in a mixture of potting soil and worm castings at the right depth. Kept the soil moist. Nada. I was thinking perhaps there was some contaminant in the pill container. What am I doing wrong? I will try the paper towel trick next.
Yeah try the damp paper towel in a plastic bag, keep them warm, even at night. You should have better luck planting the pre-germinated seeds. Your storage method should be fine, your sown seeds may even sprout later in spring. When I plant directly in the garden they take waaaaay longer to sprout.
Great video! Jalapenos are my favorite pepper, the hotter the better. This was such an informative video. This is my first year growing my own so I'm really excited to have seen this. I don't know if there are different varieties of jalapenos but my plant leaves are super dark green. Funnily enough, I've had worms on my green and red pepper leaves but not a one on the jalapenos which tells me something about the taste of the leaves. Next year I will not plant them side by side.
Those are pretty much the same and both will work. I go for the cheaper products because the expensive ones have like one added ingredient, worm castings or perlite ect.
Hey, thanks for the great video. I'm wondering if you could answer a question. I have four great size jalapeno plants about 3 ft tall. They've given me lots and lots of jalapenos. My question is should I trim the top to keep them from growing taller? The base is almost like a trunk now which I'm loving because we live in Florida and I can keep them year round. However, I don't want it to grow two lanky. Any help you can give me. Thank you
Ok so this year I bought mild seedlings and they came out blazing. Some years my peppers are hot and others they are so mild they seem like bells. Any idea what creates hot vs mild growing conditions?
While most of the heat is inside of the membranes and the seeds, I agree with your methods. the cracked versions of the peppers are much hotter, mild is good too - depending on your tastes. Mild is not wrong (coming from a heat head) I fully enjoy the flavour of the jalapeno and feel it's important to educate your viewers (which you have done) about hot peppers. Great video.
Realy nice video. A complete guide in Jalapeños. Next year I'll give it a grow ;) Next time you could explain how to dry them to keep all the heat for a long time
Nice video! I have most of my plants in either 8” or 11” pots. Some I topped, and others I let alone. The topped did produce a more vibrant plant, that was until something came along and ate half of my plants 👎, either a deer or groundhog? So I’ll building a screen cover, that should keep out any varmints. I do have 2 plants that are just bushy, but no flowers? Whereas most all other plants have one or both. Any suggestions? Thanks
Flowers can be "triggered" with fertilizer and warm light, so morning and evening + all day sun if you can get it. I get deer eating my peppers too, they have even reached their heads into a cage I made to eat them.
@@thifran2 Thanks a lot. Yes, that helps. That's understandable, but I guess I'm just still curious about the execution. I'll see if I can find a good vid for that.
@@GiveitaGrow Appreciate the reply. Predictably, I'm hesitant to top these pepper plants. Mainly, I think I started them too late in the season, and I don't want any setbacks. It's been a bit of a science experiment for me, seeing as it's my first time. I've tried a variety of conditions inside and outside, but I started these in mid-June. My most mature ones from seed are like 5ish inches tall with 5 pairs of leaves. I'm afraid that I won't get any fruit if I prune them.
Wow, you really know a lot about growing Jalapeno peppers 🌶 right up to the different ways on slicing or preserving them. We call them chillies here and I absolutely love them in my food. This is a very good video, well thought out and presented. 👍👍👍
I would wait until ripeness, as the mother plant needs all the time it can to put as much nutrients and other stuff into the seeds as it can, for better chance of the seeds surviving and for better next generation plants.
i just potted a plant about month ago, the thing i learned is i should bury up to the btm leaves? my leafs look like there hanging low and not perky should i replant it? or is it dying?
Peppers don't like to be re-planted. Drooping leaves could be a watering issue, either too much or too little, so check if the soils is dry or over-saturated.
The ones I buy at the supermarket are almost never hot. Why is that? I heard that if they have a lot of scarring on them they are hotter. What's going on? Are they picking them too early?
After how many they the seeds sprouted in the napkin?! Do I need to check the napkin to be wet every day ?! After that how how many days takes to grow a green stem?! Thank you 😀
Would that help to make me Jalapenos hot? Just to explain to you how Mild mine are I ate one raw all the way to the seeds! There was no heat and I mean none! I decided to string them up by the steams. I’m wondering if they will eventually turn red? Even if I turn them into a powder to use in food. The way they are right now is more like a bell pepper Lol! Your video taught me the lesson regarding Jalapenos:)
Growing up with the Mexican half of my family... I def share your enthusiasm for jalapenos! Im a complete amateur just looking for advice on growing. But, since this is a 'growing guide' it felt like you might have skipped over some things. You mentioned going for red peppers. Does it matter if the seeds come from a pepper that is green or red? You said to store the seeds they should be dried, and cut to the clip of you planting dried seeds. Do they need to be dried before planting? And if the seeds need to be dried; what's the process and how long does that take?
I save seeds from the red peppers because they are more mature, and therefore more viable. Apparently the seeds dont need to be dried, but I never plant fresh seeds, so I leave them out to dry in the open air so they dont get moldy as they are stored over winter.
I picked my first jalepeno and sliced it up for pickling but there no heat what so ever. Even in the seeds. It just taste like fresh bell pepper. Did I do something wrong? I picked the first one to grow which was also the largest of them.
Odd, jalapenos vary in spice based on growing conditions, but if they have no heat at all you may have a "Nadapeno" bred specifically for having no heat. store bought peppers work great for saving seeds, you may want to try that.
@@GiveitaGrow So weird thing was I cut a smaller one from the top of the plant to see if it was the same and it actually had heat to it. Still not sure why the first one didnt but it was the first pepper to get full size before any of the others even grew halfway. Maybe it just grew too fast?
Once I was making guac and chopped up some jalapenos. Didnt think about washing my hands when I moved on to other veggies. My one year old nephew kept coming to get some avocado and I fed it to him from my hand. After feeding him I took a bite of avocado and realized I still had jalapeno fingers...I was shocked it didnt bother him a bit because my mouth was in fire lol
Drying tips: Slice off the meaty lobes of the pepper lengthwise, then slice the lobes crosswise into 1/8" matchsticks. Spead strips out in food dehydrator, and dry 24 hrs at around 130F or until full brittle. The strips will curl up, and become surprisingly compact. Store in airtight glass. Do NOT pre-grind, because the flesh is highly hygroscopic (absorbs ambient humidity) and will clump up in a couple of hours, so only grind what you plant to use immediately. I use it in hummus, meat chili, etc.
Don't pee after cutting jalapeno peppers without gloves did it once never again
You don't even have to touch the hole. Sensitive skin down there.
idk wtf u mean my shit roc
SeanCameOn Rub a cut Carolina reaper on your ball sac & tell us how it feels lol. That is when your done screaming.
A friend of mine had it after a Habanero.
Nick I had it happen after a habanero back in the 1990's.I did everything except scream & I was close to screaming like a girl lol.
This is the kind of positivity that I need in my life.
im growing them in a pot not in the ground live in a complex and growing on balcony
How did that work out for ya? I'm trying the same thing
If you wait until they grow about a foot tall and chop the tip off the top, you will grow more peppers
@@jaridkeen123 nice
That's awesome! I'm going to try that myself.
Well?
The way you speak, and tone of voice keeps me interested in listening to you! Great video!
I agree!!! I was just thinking wow, his tone of voice is fantastic. Engaging. Very eloquent and no use of hum...
Yes. His voice is so calm
I had been struggling with whiteflies killing my indoor and balcony garden chile pepper plants. I found that a couple of cloves of garlic blended with a little water and sprayed on the plants once per week solved it. :D #BuenProvecho

I use this method and I also use aspirin water and my crop yeald is far larger
Excellent tutorial. We learned a lot. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Great job.
I like how his voice is clear and concise
Thank you!
Correction: Actually most of the Heat is found in the fleshy membrane that HOLDS the seeds inside the pepper.
Good catch New Heaven. So called self proclaimed knowledgeable types seem to perpetuate false information. The pith as you stated is the heat. Sometimes seeds can maintain a bit of this pith flesh on the outside of the seed for some heat, but seeds themselves have no heat.

How long do your plants last for? We have a three-year old jalapeño plant. It is kept indoors and gives many chillies.
Nice video, but correct me if I'm wrong. Two different varieties of chili planted next to each can cross pollinate, BUT that cross only affects the genetic makeup of the seed... not the flesh.

But in terms of accidentally crossing a mild and a hot chili, it will not affect the current years crop as those genetics are inherent in the seed you used to grow the original plant.
That could be, I do save my own seeds, so that would explain why my sweet banana peppers turned spicy on me.

I play that same music for my plants, they really seem to enjoy it
I love that song!

Why would I avoid the Heat? Jalapeno pepper right. The video was very good lots of great information
I like a little heat, but if it hurts its too much.

I would recommend larger pots, like dollar store cups. I have found the more you up-pot them the worse they do, but I dont know why.
....and don't try putting in your contact lenses! (I tried this years ago - never again).
Oh no! Thats why I love the trick of slicing the pepper without touching those spicy seeds!
Amen. My partner didn't even touch his eyes - just cut up the pepper bare-handed, and then had sore hands all day. Lesson learned!
disposable gloves are cheap

The seeds have zero capsaicin. The interior membrane, however, is loaded with capsaicin.
That's what I always heard to. Its in the membrane not the seed.
Why would you bother growing jalapenos if you're that big of a pansy anyway? It's not like they're hot.
@Zachary James Best answer.
Yeah it’s the white rib part that has the heat
@HexagramMan Sure, it's ON the seeds, but there's no capsaicin IN the seeds, which is what they said.
thank u for a helpful informative video on jalapenos
Your welcome :)
Great jalapenos. Awesome quality. Thanks for sharing. New to your family.

Awesome, I love growing peppers. This year will be a smaller harvest than last year, but I want to try and grow more next time!
If you want them hotter you can stress them by not watering as much!
Thank you, I'll try that, turns out the jalapenos were not hot, at all! Sad.
Great video and very helpful and peaceful
this is really helpful! im gonna be growing peppers soon! :)
Excellent, good luck!
Thank you so much for ur help , first year trying ur method 👍🤗✅
Very professional video!
Excellent post, thanks.
Learned quite a bit from that, A nice little summary.
The knife annoyed me a bit though!
Very good video. Great info and no yada yada!
I’m starting my pepper plant today. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Good luck!
Great vid. very informative and somewhat relaxing presentation
please help me. Do i use potting soil or potting mix?
Those are pretty much the same and both will work. I go for the cheaper products because the expensive ones have like one added ingredient, worm castings or perlite ect.
Hey, thanks for the great video. I'm wondering if you could answer a question. I have four great size jalapeno plants about 3 ft tall. They've given me lots and lots of jalapenos. My question is should I trim the top to keep them from growing taller? The base is almost like a trunk now which I'm loving because we live in Florida and I can keep them year round. However, I don't want it to grow two lanky. Any help you can give me. Thank you
Grew them for the first time this year, now I'm hooked....
I'm hooked too, I want to grow even more next year because of this new hot sauce recipe I made. ua-cam.com/video/7LCuMU2Udp4/v-deo.html
got my first japaleno seeds this year...
Excellent video. Thank you very much.
Thanks for watching!
Love it great information! This is my first year growing a few different types of peppers and I’m nervous lol
Thanks! Good luck with your new peppers!
Ok so this year I bought mild seedlings and they came out blazing. Some years my peppers are hot and others they are so mild they seem like bells. Any idea what creates hot vs mild growing conditions?
Stresses like lack of water can cause spicy peppers, while a well watered plant will be mild.
While most of the heat is inside of the membranes and the seeds, I agree with your methods. the cracked versions of the peppers are much hotter, mild is good too - depending on your tastes. Mild is not wrong (coming from a heat head) I fully enjoy the flavour of the jalapeno and feel it's important to educate your viewers (which you have done) about hot peppers. Great video.
Thank you!
Wonder if u can just layer used coffee grounds in pots? Going to grind up my egg shells and use it as fertilizer my family eats a lot of eggs
I would compost them first, or they can get moldy and "cake" together.
Give it a Grow thank you for the heads up will start my first compost pile
Realy nice video. A complete guide in Jalapeños. Next year I'll give it a grow ;) Next time you could explain how to dry them to keep all the heat for a long time
Thanks. I tried dried jalapenos, but I like them better diced and frozen ua-cam.com/video/2_HuVXZUsVM/v-deo.html
I love your content!! New subscriber here 🙋🏻♀️
Nice video! I have most of my plants in either 8” or 11” pots. Some I topped, and others I let alone. The topped did produce a more vibrant plant, that was until something came along and ate half of my plants 👎, either a deer or groundhog? So I’ll building a screen cover, that should keep out any varmints. I do have 2 plants that are just bushy, but no flowers? Whereas most all other plants have one or both. Any suggestions? Thanks
Flowers can be "triggered" with fertilizer and warm light, so morning and evening + all day sun if you can get it. I get deer eating my peppers too, they have even reached their heads into a cage I made to eat them.
I live in zone 9b, the East SF Bay Area. Can I still grow them this time of the year?
I've just started growing peppers myself. What do you mean by "topped"?
hi, topped mean pruning them (cutting the main stem so it split from there, and main stem below gets bigger and stronger). hope it helps.
@@thifran2 Thanks a lot. Yes, that helps. That's understandable, but I guess I'm just still curious about the execution. I'll see if I can find a good vid for that.
Yep, topping is cutting off the top of the plant to strengthen the remaining stem and usually cause it to fork.
@@GiveitaGrow Appreciate the reply. Predictably, I'm hesitant to top these pepper plants. Mainly, I think I started them too late in the season, and I don't want any setbacks. It's been a bit of a science experiment for me, seeing as it's my first time. I've tried a variety of conditions inside and outside, but I started these in mid-June. My most mature ones from seed are like 5ish inches tall with 5 pairs of leaves. I'm afraid that I won't get any fruit if I prune them.
Mid-June in South-western PA, still barely in zone 6
great video. Time to grow some peppers!
Thanks! Good luck :)
Thank you, was wondering about saving seeds for propagation.
I know how to stored them, straight into my tommy yuuuummmm. Thanks for the video. I'm starting my very own greenhouse in ABQ.
Haha! Thanks for watching, and good luck with the greenhouse :)
Wow, you really know a lot about growing Jalapeno peppers 🌶 right up to the different ways on slicing or preserving them. We call them chillies here and I absolutely love them in my food. This is a very good video, well thought out and presented. 👍👍👍
Thank you! This is just about every tip I have on growing Jalapenos. I hope you found some of these tricks helpful :)
Are you from New Mexico? We seem to have a lot of chillies around here
Props for that Cumbia beat.
I love that track!
Hey thanks for the video. Do you close the bag all the way when you sprout the seeds?
Can you take seeds from jalapeno when they are green? Will they grow up?
I think so, but I usually dry them for a week to be safe.
I would wait until ripeness, as the mother plant needs all the time it can to put as much nutrients and other stuff into the seeds as it can, for better chance of the seeds surviving and for better next generation plants.
Will they survive in triple digits cuz I live in California.
Most likely, yes. If they are wilting too much you can also try a shade cloth and water deeply to keep the roots cool and damp.
Easily!
Will they survive in Arizona
Will the seeds sprout just in water
i just potted a plant about month ago, the thing i learned is i should bury up to the btm leaves? my leafs look like there hanging low and not perky should i replant it? or is it dying?
Peppers don't like to be re-planted. Drooping leaves could be a watering issue, either too much or too little, so check if the soils is dry or over-saturated.
My mouth is watering... thanks for the video !!
That happens to me too when I think about spicy food lol, Thanks!
How long does it take the seeds to dry out until you can plant them?
Dry them on wax paper, they will stick to a paper towel, for drying them about a week or less.
Most of the heat is in the seeds ? What makes Jalapeno's so different to all other peppers ?
The ones I buy at the supermarket are almost never hot. Why is that? I heard that if they have a lot of scarring on them they are hotter. What's going on? Are they picking them too early?
After how many they the seeds sprouted in the napkin?! Do I need to check the napkin to be wet every day ?! After that how how many days takes to grow a green stem?! Thank you 😀
Keep the napkin damp, but not dripping wet. Keep it some place warm, it can be dark thats fine. You should see close to 100% germination.
Nice video, saving seeds now for spring thanks.
You sir earn my respect and my subscription, why? The music on point.
Thank you!!
I must have picked my peppers too soon bc they weren’t hot! Is there a way to dry them out after the fact?
You can dry them, but they get tough so I prefer to freeze them raw.
Would that help to make me Jalapenos hot? Just to explain to you how Mild mine are I ate one raw all the way to the seeds! There was no heat and I mean none! I decided to string them up by the steams. I’m wondering if they will eventually turn red? Even if I turn them into a powder to use in food. The way they are right now is more like a bell pepper Lol! Your video taught me the lesson regarding Jalapenos:)
I liked to make cowboy candy with mine and give out jars for the holiday season
Nice! I know it as cowboy caviar :)
Thanks a lot this video is really helpful
Thank you!
dude what was the music in-between each section it was so good
XDXDXDXD just looked in the thing and found it lol XDXDXD
Nice!
can you plant more thank one pepper plant in one large container?
Yes, I would space them apart for more sun.
Growing up with the Mexican half of my family... I def share your enthusiasm for jalapenos!
Im a complete amateur just looking for advice on growing. But, since this is a 'growing guide' it felt like you might have skipped over some things.
You mentioned going for red peppers. Does it matter if the seeds come from a pepper that is green or red?
You said to store the seeds they should be dried, and cut to the clip of you planting dried seeds. Do they need to be dried before planting?
And if the seeds need to be dried; what's the process and how long does that take?
I save seeds from the red peppers because they are more mature, and therefore more viable. Apparently the seeds dont need to be dried, but I never plant fresh seeds, so I leave them out to dry in the open air so they dont get moldy as they are stored over winter.
I picked my first jalepeno and sliced it up for pickling but there no heat what so ever. Even in the seeds. It just taste like fresh bell pepper. Did I do something wrong? I picked the first one to grow which was also the largest of them.
Odd, jalapenos vary in spice based on growing conditions, but if they have no heat at all you may have a "Nadapeno" bred specifically for having no heat. store bought peppers work great for saving seeds, you may want to try that.
@@GiveitaGrow So weird thing was I cut a smaller one from the top of the plant to see if it was the same and it actually had heat to it. Still not sure why the first one didnt but it was the first pepper to get full size before any of the others even grew halfway. Maybe it just grew too fast?
Very cool.... or spicy, whatever. I enjoyed the show
Haha, thanks!
Every time I grow a jalapeno plant they become full of green horned worms. Any suggestion how to keep them away?
Do like your slicing technique-very good
I learned that one the hard way :)
Once I was making guac and chopped up some jalapenos. Didnt think about washing my hands when I moved on to other veggies. My one year old nephew kept coming to get some avocado and I fed it to him from my hand. After feeding him I took a bite of avocado and realized I still had jalapeno fingers...I was shocked it didnt bother him a bit because my mouth was in fire lol
Avocado is probably a good way to mellow the heat :) I hope your fingers didn't burn, thats no fun.
I love the crow sounds.
what's the final size of the container? I plan to grow them in the pots. thx
I have gotten harvest from as little as 1 gallon pots, but bigger is better, up to about 5 gallons.
when do you pick them?
When germinating in the warm damp paper towels, about how long does it usually take for them to start germinating?
About a week or two, depending on how long you want your starter roots.
Hi. Nice video. I wanted to know if they can grow inside the house during winters as I stay in Canada
I have tried growing peppers indoors, it is possible but they need lots of light!
Drying tips: Slice off the meaty lobes of the pepper lengthwise, then slice the lobes crosswise into 1/8" matchsticks. Spead strips out in food dehydrator, and dry 24 hrs at around 130F or until full brittle. The strips will curl up, and become surprisingly compact. Store in airtight glass. Do NOT pre-grind, because the flesh is highly hygroscopic (absorbs ambient humidity) and will clump up in a couple of hours, so only grind what you plant to use immediately.
I use it in hummus, meat chili, etc.
