Excellent video. You need to update your amazon links.. they are not linking any more.
The Millennial Gardener, do you have any recommendations for organic fertilizers?
What about Fox Farms?
Maybe it is a generational thing but your data led recommendations is the best. I enjoy all the gardeners who post videos. However, I enjoy the clear way you provide directions and recommendations and always backed with experience and data. It’s a lot of work, so thank you for your efforts. It’s appreciated.
Thank you. It's a lot of effort to put these videos together because it usually takes 2-3 weeks worth of filming, but I find it's most helpful to show people the "after" results. Otherwise, it's difficult to verify if it's good advice. I appreciate your recognition!
Amen to this
@The Millennial Gardener I was just going to write the same sentiment as Shweta. You are so clear, concise, and meticulous even down to the way we need to pick the pepper. I'm first time gardening and doing it in containers in case I've got to move veggies around so I get the hang of what plant likes what location. Thank you so much for your hard work to educate us. I must say you've got to have the toughest knees as you're always bent down teaching us right from wrong. You should use an affiliate link for knee pads. Trust me, I'm 66 and you'll regret it if you don't go more easy on yourself 😉 Dale is a gem, would like to see more of him outside in the garden.... if he behaves and doesn't go hog wild playing in the plants! Lol
I totally agree.
@@synergy2222 77
my jamaican bell plant is 7 years old, i live in sweden and the plant lives indoors during the winter... but i have forgotten it outside and it has been both froozen and snowed on over night... but it has survived.......
Ok……I just did this 2 weeks ago for my Okra…. Got the bloom booster. My production is now 3 fold!!!! I have to pick morning and evening now!!! Thanks
Excellent to hear! I would recommend a re-application every 2 weeks during the growing season if you're seeing success.
Bloom booster is amazing, helps my fruit trees flower after weeks of no progress
in central south TX, I will leave peppers outside , just cover them if it gets below freezing. I have a couple pepper plants that are at least 5 years old . Sometimes they die back a bit but always bounce back . Great videos !
Thanks for the tips. I've used Miracle Grow for tomatoes, but I didn't have a regimen like you suggest. Or, the fish fertilizer. I will try it on all the Solanaceae family plants.
I kept a chili piquin (Texas Bird Pepper) for 22 years. I'd prune it and bring it inside in November and put it out in May. I root pruned it a few times, too. It gave up the ghost last fall.
WHOAA thats nuts! Those piquins are troopers for sure though.
I hope you kept some seed pods
What was your sign to prune it back and bring it in? Weather or something the plant did?
That was a great video. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I appreciate it.
Pepper plants are also beautiful, especially when covered in blossoms. Their origin as a New World tropical plant is obvious when you see their exotic-looking flowers.
Good info 3rd hear growing peppers and struggled a little the past two years … hoping this year will be better using some of your techniques 🤞🏽thanks
Such a well-planned, well- organized presentation. Very helpful advice for our first year growing peppers in NC. Thank you!
New gardener here and I really like how you explained NPK that really helps alot thank you.
I have pepper plants that are 4 years old. I live in Texas so it's easy to keep them going here. This was great information - I planted late this year and am having some trouble getting everything fully grown. Then I need to bloom boost like crazy!
Thank you so much for this great information. Will definitely be applying this to my garden. Thank you again...so excited to see my results
Thanks for clearly articulating this process. I'm making this cocktail today.
Thank you for the information and effort you put into this. I'm an AVID gardener and have had a garden for years but always learning more about doing it better. Great information!
Thanks for the detailed education in your videos.
Thank you. You provided us with all the information we needed. Again, thank you.
You’re very welcome! Glad it was helpful.
Excellent, this is just what I was looking for.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.👍
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I'm always so impressed with your advice! You can bet I'll be doing this. Thanks for another great video!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for describing what you're doing or what we should see asI listen to your wonderful information while doing all kinds of things in the yard...hands free gardening while learning!
Good job simple and informative steady rhythm, relevant and well explained. No extraneous content
Thank you! I need to do this! I am not good at growing peppers especially the bell peppers. Hope to have a good harvest this year. ❤️🙏
I am glad I ran across your older video on peppers. I never seem to do real well with my peppers. Thank you for putting this information out. My husband and I traveled to the southeast coast of NC in May of this year. Beautiful part of the USA. I was surprised to see how flat it was as we had only been to the Blue Ridge area. I even got to see one of your big black bears out by the roadside as we were driving between Nebraska, NC and Washington, NC. We spent time at the outer banks and four days at a wonderful NC state park. Hope we can make it back to NC again!
I have some cherry pepper seeds but never grown them I had no idea they were so prolific! That's awesome!
Good info thank you! I’ll try it this year.
I'm using feriliome it's like a 7-22-6 or something. Waaaaay more mater's and peppers this year. Started with just miracle grow. High N. Switched after.
I had no idea that your plants can be revived to give you more fruit after the first picking. Great video! I’ll be doing this in 2024.
looking forward to trying this
I like this. and peppers have been one of the easiest beginner plants I grew. Now inspired to try it again. There actually might be some out in my jungle garden, I'll just have to go find them. either way I have seeds of my previous harvests.
Thank you! I'm actually near Wilmington, NC! Hey, neighbor! I was so proud that I had some sweet bell pepper plants overwinter and they're bearing fruit. However, I've been complacent with my fertilizer! I'm going right now and do it! They'll be so happy!
Thank you for a really well explanation and easy to understand for new gardeners. I will definitely will put in practice.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Your videos are so helpful and super well made, thank you!! Thoughtful content!
Outstanding and so clear explanations... thank you so much. I am learning a ton from your videos!
2:04 You're getting warmer! I started out trying to manipulate npk ratios, thinking at first the tired old myth of "higher N earlier and lower N later" then went into "less N all the time and more P K throughout" and finally, after fighting capsicum for 20+ years. I've learned the long hard lesson. Balanced NPK values with increasing dosage as more biomass is produced. That's the capsicum sweet spot.
I also like and often plant chili, thank you for telling me how to foster good chili
You are most welcome. Thanks for watching!
Very informative I am going to try this this weekend.
Will do this year. Thanks for the information
Thank you! In the past I did exactly as you said and harvested and then pulled the plants
Thank you, very helpful! Great pepper patch!
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
loved the video. it's hot in southwest Florida. still the cucumbers thrive. chickens tolerated the heat and continue to lay. going to try shade cloth and see if anything changes. your optimism pleases and motivates.
Oh my gosh.... peppers are my favorite and I'm trying a DOZEN different kinds of hot ones this year. THIS is EXACTLY what I needed to know!! THANK YOU!
The longer you keep your pepper plants the hotter the peppers are.
Great information as always! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
This is an excellent video...💛 you told me exactly what I needed to know... Thank you so much 💞
Awesome man, I’m going to pick a ton today and try your technique out.. thanks bro..
Best of luck! Let us know how it goes.
I am really enjoying your channel. I cant wait to try this once the temps cool down.
My soil is very high in P, explains why I always get such a lovely pepper harvest, even up here on the northern prairie. Great vid!
and I forgot to thank you for all the inforation that you share... thank you!!
Hey there, Carolina Brother! I have a question and a suggestion. Q: How big do you let your plants get before you stop pinching off the buds and let the fruits grow? Suggestion: Southern States' own brand of fertilizers come in 50# bags and are relatively cheap compared to name brands. They were only $10 a bag prior to this massive inflation. They are in prills though, so a little slower release, but definitely an amazing bang for the buck.
I actually just applied my 1st dose of the alaska-juice. Looking forward to hitting it again in a week. Easy to follow directions for those of us who really suck at gardening
You work so hard and you r so passionate about it it's amazing really
Thank you! I appreciate that very much.
Thank you for this information. This year I will have 30 pepper plants. Several varieties. So excited.
Very nice!
Great vid and info I only ever get 2 peppers to one plant now I know why thankyou would the miracle grow blossom work for and fruit like tomatoes along with tomatoe feed to produce more buds I'm a newbie to this gardening but I'm suprised how much I'm enjoying watching things grow and eating the taste is so much better thankyou for your info I learnt a lot love from UK England
Awesome tips. Thank you!
Well produced, appreciate the remote microphone and no annoying music!
Thank you for a very informative video!
Thank you! I appreciate it.
That is pretty impressive I just found you and your videos I am now a new sub. I have been having troubles with my peppers last year and this year. I just started to garden vegetables last year and even though I do not do near as good as most of the youtubers I just love doing it so giving up is not in my DNA. Thanks for your hard work. Next time I need items I will be sure to check your store front out. Take care and again thank you.
Yes.. it definitely works.... Been doing method for many many years.❤ I like Gromore's liguid seaweed also. Used the fish that come mixed with seaweed also found the blue color Neptune brand was working best for my peppers and tomatoes .
This season am trying soy beans in containers also (limited space/only grow in containers many many years). 👍B.🙋
Love to see young people gardening ive been doing since i was 6 it is the key to a healthy life pest free food and good excercise
Awesome info. I will be getting some bloom booster today!
Thanks for watching! Let us know how it works out!
Right to the point.
Thank you so much.
You're welcome!
I have been so befuddled by the fertilizer numbers but you explained it so logically and simple to understand. Thank you!
There's this thing on internet called google, it eliminates befuddlement, especially for stupid people who are confused by three numbers.
Absolutely fabulous 🌸🌿
Thank you! I appreciate you watching.
What a wealth of information, thank you
GREAT VID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS
Thank you for the information. Will try it this season.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for clear recommendations!
I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your support and generosity. I really appreciate it ❤
that looks beautiful
I can tell how successful it's just by how the plants are falling
I can't wait for the first pepper harvest of the year. They're so much fun!
Great presentation. Thanks!
Wonderful!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
We had the same plant growing for 4 years. They definitely fruited more the years we gave them a really good boost of new soils added into the beds where they grew though!
A pepper plant in a climate with low pest and disease pressure that does not see frost and freeze can live many years. My cherry pepper in a pot is going on its 3rd season and is flowering profusely. 5+ years is not out of the question.
@@TheMillennialGardener
Thank you for sharing your information on gardening peppers.
▪︎How often do you spray your peppers or tomatoes for insects?
▪︎What insects spray do you use?
▪︎How long after you have sprayed your plants before you start eating the vegetables?
Thanks.
@@harmonyandpeacetranquility7851 Wow, not at all.
You should have room between the plants for wind to go through and attract predators & pollinators with eg marigolds or other flowers or herbs.
And in order to strengthen your plant, use a "soup" (uncooked) made from stinging nettle or common horsetail (="Equisetum arvense"): Put the plants in a bucket in a 1 to 10 mixture with water. Stir every day for 1-2weeks. Be advised that this stinks very badly while it ferments. Then use in a 1 to 10 dilution in watering your plants (again, I use my oldest watering can). This acts as fertilizer and strengthens your vegetable plants against a wide variety of pests. This organic method (while stinky) is not harmful and can be done shortly before harvest, though it should be done early enough in the season to affect the growth of your fruits.
You have my attention after saying they're heavy feeders. Granny always warned me of how easy peppers burn up from fertilizer. A few years back I used for manure in the holes I planted them in. I buffered it real good with soil and they grew to my chest. The next year I stunted them trying to do the same thing over again.
Thanks brother - I learned something and appreciated the information
Thank you for sharing your recipe of fertilizering your peppers. Thanks again.
You're welcome!
Those results are abundant. Looks really good.
I've been doing this for years, and it never fails! One simple pepper bed can easily churn out enough sweet peppers for every day use, and enough peppers to pickle gallons of them for storage. It works!
As a fellow NC"er Thank you for helping my peppers. I am new to gardening and had a horrible harvest. Now I know!
Being down in the southeasternmost corner of the state, we have the biggest problems with heat, rainfall, humidity, pests and disease in the state, so if I can do it here, I'm sure you can flourish with this routine. If you're struggling, it is probably due to lack of fertilizing. Peppers are pretty heavy feeders, and giving them a drink of a soluble feed every 10-14 days or so really helps them.
Great video. I never knew what each of the nutrients NPK did to promote plant growth. Thank you.
Thank you for video
Great tips, thanks for sharing
very beautiful pepper plants, I have never seen such big and rich pepper plants.
Pickled homegrown peppers are the best! So much better than store bought 👍🤩
I started using Bloom booster fertilizer about 2 weeks ago on my pepper plants. Now I've got lots and lots of new blossoms on them. They were planted the first week of May
Thank you for this
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for taking the time to show the results. So many channels just talk about it, but don’t show that it works.
Thank you. I try to track my results so I can show a before-and-after and provide some visual evidence that the method works. I appreciate you watching!
True like everyone that shows how to grow a avocado seed but seem to never have that tree mature producing fruit
Looks awesome
I love your videos im a beginner but advancing at fast rate thanks to your insights and advice thankyou
I'm glad to hear you're having success! Thank you for watching!
great tip, will try
I'm amazed at the way your peppers regenerated! 🤩 I'm gonna try that. Maybe the cold will hold off long enough, but my first crop hasn't ripened yet. I'm pretty excited about it. All the plants are covered with peppers in various stages; none red yet. This is my first real garden. It's like absolute magic.❤️ Just incredible.
I've been using this method for a few years now, and it really does work wonders. Every year, it gets easier and easier as you get used to doing it. Where I live, it's oppressively hot for a very long time (a solid 3 months of 90+ degree days nonstop), so peppers do very well. It sounds like you're pretty close to ripening your crop.
Growing ANYTHING in Wilmington has been a challenge since I moved here 3 years ago from Riverside Ca. Thanks for the area specific advice I REALLY need
What’s wrong with California? 😂
Pimento peppers is what i am trying first time to grow! Thanks for guidance!!
Great video! Thank you!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Awesome!
My garden will be happy this hot SC spring day. I gave them a fish dinner yesterday. They love fish.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you sooooo much , I enjoy every one of your videos, you're the best
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!
Can I use these same two fertilizers (the Miracle Grow ones) on tomatoes as well? I mean obviously the plant food I can, but what about the flower food? Thanks. This video is so helpful. As are all the videos I have seen from you.
Great video and information! I was surprised how long we continued to get pepper plants to produce late into autumn last year.
Peppers are fantastic. They're vigorous, disease resistant and handle cool temps well and will produce til frost.
Great video, definitely going to try this.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. You explained nkp differences the best!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Great job little brother. I'm planning on doing some different peppers in grow bags this year. I'm up on the Mississippi gulf coast in Zone 9A. I'll bring mine in at the end of the season to over winter them. Ok what's your opinion on pruning them back before moving them inside ? Thanks for any info little brother. Great video !!! 👍
Thanks much for this info
Thanks for watching!
Thank you.one of the best explination on how to fertilize peppers.you are a very good teacher i live in Barbados where we can plant all year.good video
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope I can visit your beautiful country one day! I've been to several Caribbean islands (Eleuthera, St. Kitts, Martinique) and hope to see many more.
I loved Barbados! The water is beautiful, crystal clear a good ways out. The rest of the island was fun too.
Newbie here, Can you place the spoiled fruits in your composite pile or composite tea bucket? Worried about reintroducing problems. Thanks! Love your patient way of explaining everything … so glad I found you!
You mean compost pile? Yes, spoiled fruit can be added. Also, all plant kitchen waste, including coffee grounds & tea bags. The only plant waste you don't want to put into compost are ones with disease. Look at pics to identify plants that are affected.
