I have chillies, but I dithered about whether to top them or not so long that in the end I felt better not top. I will be very interested to see how your experiment goes!
@@eliandkate how often do you need to fill the reservoir on the quad grow? I use halo pots at the mo but always on the lookout for anything that makes watering easier
I love this experiment. I over wintered a red bell and a jalapeño. Both have already given me many peppers. I had great success. We love our peppers and chiles! Blessings!
I'm so glad you're doing this experiment, so I don't have to. I only grow a few peppers; I don't want to risk them. I like how the overwintered pepper is looking, I may have to try that if it continues to do well. I look forward to updates.
Hi Eli, great experiment. I must agree with you. Looking at the pepper plants, the topped plants look much healthier. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Excellent video, Eli. I like to do experiments like this and it is great when I can learn from your experiments. Please do an update late in the season. I'm especially interested in the net yield from each of the three methods. I'm planning a greenhouse for next spring so I'll use your findings. Peppers are one of the main reasons I want a greenhouse since my weather and season is similar to yours.
Promise Bud…. I’ll keep you informed. If your climate is like ours you might like this variety, King of the North They are particularly good for the cooler climates. They gave me huge yields last year
Absolutely brilliant informative vlog. I was astounded by how many bell peppers you got last year. My hubby is a chillie fan so I did them last year. But I'm definitely going for sweet and bell this year so this is so apt for me. Thanks Ladies ❤️👍
This was a well timed video, was dithering about whether to top my pepper plants today, thinking I will now looking at yours. All my overwintered pepper plants died since our boiler broke so the whole house was freezing for about a month… not sure I overwintered very well either 🥶😂
Excellent information! I'm delighted with your videos. Wonderful advice, and comforting to see that we all have "learning" experiences. This pepper video is timed perfectly for me, I'll be sowing them late, but be able to look back at this one for inspiration. I think I'll try the over-wintering thing. I live in the Pacific Northwest, Seattle WA, so it just might work outside... depending on Ma Nature. Thanks for all your effort and sharing your expertise! It's so nice to see someone else experimenting! All part of the fun.
I started peppers this year, my first time…so far am having good success…i did use heat mats and lights. I found that transplanting them to bigger pots as soon as they had bigger leaves allowed them to grow bigger. I also fertilize them. My next dilemma is to grow them in a container or outside. I will probably do both to see the difference. I have 3 different kinds of peppers and will be giving them to friends and family. Didn’t expect such good germination.
Thanks for this update of your pepper plants. 👍💚🌱 It's really interesting to see how different your plants are growing. I decided not to prune this year because we can have pretty short growing seasons with late frost end of May or early frost in Octobre. Instead i already planed to overwinter as many as possible plants. If that works I should get healthier and more productive plants in the following years.
Time will tell both you and I. Managed to bring on four sweet pepper plant and I've topped two. Will keep you updated! Different channels I'm Sylvester or Gray-Dingwall, but all my plants are growing in Inverness on the fissure that is the Great Glen, my back garden runs with it, North East facing 😱 So if I can grow veg anyone can 👍
Interesting video - nice to see a side by side comparison and I look forward to seeing how they do later on. I tend to treat small fruited and large fruited sorts differently - small fruited I leave natural - unless they refuse to branch at a sensible height I don’t top them. I get early fruiting and the side shoots come later - I prefer to grow up rather than out as I can fit more plants in 😀 The large fruited sorts I generally train just two stems - they can grow a good 7 feet in a season.
The thing is to not only top the plant, but also continuously prune inward growing stems and cut stems to get splits, all in order to get a more bushy plant that collect more light and more places for flowers to form. As to the numbers and size of fruit one have to consider the variety and environmental it lives in. Maybe discard some flowers in order to only support a specific numbers of fruit on each part of the plant.
Hi Eli, I absolutely love the look of the over wintered pepper. It looks like a really interesting houseplant! Is that only one winter? All the best Christie
@@eliandkate I am trying peppers this year have just had my first flowers indoors (very delayed greenhouse install 😱😱) but successful 6/7 plants so can’t wait to Harvest first peppers 🫑 I am definitely going to be giving the overwintering a go! All the best Christie
Great video. I have an overwintered sweet pepper (and chillies) which is now in it's 3rd season, and like yours it is flowering heavily and already showing 3 or 4 peppers. This year I am trying your King of the North peppers from seed and like you, I have topped two and not topped two so this I am very keen to compare results. One thing I have noticed is that your plants are much much bigger than mine and I planted mine at the same time as you. Must just be because you have a greenhouse and I just have a south facing windowsill... I am in Falkirk. Maybe missing that East Lothian sunshine :)
oh exciting stuff Colin :D Hmmm yeah I suspect it's to do with heat and light. Mine have been in the greenhouse the whole time, but have had heat and supplementary light, so pretty much they have been babied :D
Great video. I've finally had 5 plants survive overwintering (I've tried it for a couple of years.) Definitely the overwintered plants seem to be producing first. I also top some peppers, but I tend to only do the smaller fruited (is that a word?) hot peppers, as bell peppers just take too long in the season to mature. I'm in Ontario Canada, so a similar season to you I believe.
Yeah overwintered defo produced fruit first, way ahead of the rest but I’m noticing some really interesting things… the new not pruned peppers are producing the biggest fruit, much much bigger and are almost starting to ripen. The overwintered plant has slowed down, it went off like a rocket but had stopped producing anything new for a bit. It’s really interesting
Oh and my overwintered plants died because the cat decided to use the pots as litter trays. One survived and my lesson was learnt. That put paid to my ideas of growing Norfolk naga chillies this year.
I agree with your experiment.. I tried to overwinter it by keeping it closed up in a heavyv duty plastic bag, but mine still died. I get more peppers from my plants that I top off .. and a bear longer also. Thanks for sharing your results.🥰
yay - glad to hear you had positive pepper fun too Aquila My peppers for this year will be getting planted up in their final pots over the next couple of week. Very excited :D
I tried overwintering my peppers and the ones I had in the house just failed to thrive and got aphids. But surprisingly one pepper that I completely forgot about in a cold greenhouse has not only survived but is starting to grow well.
When you get fruits to compare, can you do a check on the thickness of the walls of the peppers? I’ve seen people say that a topped plant flowers and fruits more but a little later and thinner walls on the fruits.
Hi Eli, interesting experiment. 3 questions how do you avoid aphids infesting the greenhouse? And did you overwinter your pepper in the greenhouse or indoors? If indoors how do you stop garden bugs from infesting your home? Thanks
Hey Joyce Ok well you can’t stop aphids in the greenhouse, it’s nature and the outdoors so the only thing you can do is try to manage them if it happens. Same as you do in the garden. Although whether you have plants in the greenhouse overwinter or not doesn’t make any difference. Again the same with taking plants indoors, unless you already have aphids in the plant, you are not going to cause aphids indoors. A pepper plant indoors is no different from any houseplant. So if you find aphids in your home, either you’ve brought them in on a plant or they’ve maybe come in through a window? I know I’ve had this on herbs I grew in the kitchen window sill. Managing aphids indoors is again exactly the same as in the garden, what ever methods you prefer work indoors too. As I mentioned in the video I overwintered 2 plants in the greenhouse and 2 in the house, the one that survived was one of the indoor plants.
@@eliandkate thanks Ely, I use soap spray with neem oil on outdoor plants with aphids. Can't hose down plants inside though, lol so it will be neem only
Lol well you could but imagine the mess You might find a soap spray better as neem oil can take some time to work, it’s better for the chewing insect types
In my opinion the only real reason to top a pepper in the uk is to keep it more compact. Healthy plants put out side shoots and bush out anyway. the other aspect is that not all varieties respond the same to topping, some dont mind while others are completely stunted by topping.
It was simply that they weren’t getting any. I had used an organic feed and it doesn’t work with the reservoirs and basically “went off”. So the plants couldn’t take up the nutrition they needed
@@eliandkate - I ordered some of King of the North seeds because of you. Didn’t know about them last season until the garden was in. This time viewing was a refresher viewing. I shall start peppers early and indoors - all new to me. We have short winters here but it can get very cold and there’s lots of snow. I remember visiting Edinburgh in May in the late 70’s. Very brisk. 👍👍🇨🇦❤️🥦🫑🫑🫑
I tried both I overwatered the greenhouse ones and they went mouldy, I underwatered the ones in the house and only just saved that one at the last minute, the other died of thirst 😬😬😬
Great video, interesting experiment! Quick question - did you find that the aphid pressure was different on the topped vs untopped plants? I've topped some of mine (chillies + bell peppers) and left some intact. I've got some aphids at the moment but the wee blighters seem to attack the topped plants much more than the intact ones. Also, how did you get rid of the aphids?
It wasn’t the quadgrow it was me… I used an organic feed and it didn’t do well sitting in the reservoir for a while… basically it turned so the plants couldn’t get the nutrients they needed
😀 I suspected it was something like that It’s hard on yourself when you compare your plants to people online…. You don’t know when they showed the seeds, what equipment they have etc. Just be nice to your little plants and enjoy them and don’t judge yourself against me. I have lights and heat etc…. I’m pretty much cheating Mother Nature 😍😍😍😍
@@eliandkate i don't have any snazzy set up, my first time this year, so it was kitchen windowsill then into an archaic greenhouse that was given to me this spring. It's a bit if an adventure, this growing things isn't it? Thanks for all your great videos, im gradually working my way through them
@@eliandkate thanks for your reply lowest it gets at the moment is 8c last year I tried peppers for the first time but the fruit didn’t really grow big at all so wasn’t sure what I did wrong so I have tried again this year what kind of feed is best I have tomato feed and chicken manure at the moment I also have fruit and veg miracle grow
@@eliandkate perfect thanks i will wait till its about 12ish outside at night they are very happy on my window i grew them from asda pepper seeds this time ha
hey Shelley I actually spoke about what I'm planning this year in an earlier video all about planning for succession growing. I've been growing in this garden for a long time, so it's let me understand just how much space I have (or don't have) for growing and so let me plan accordingly. I don't just grow lots of stuff for the sake of it anymore, I am careful about growing what we eat and what is sensible. For instance, I don't grow things like broccoli or sprouts, as much as we love them and we eat lots of them, the amount of space they take up makes it not worth growing them from the amount we'd get. However, perennial wise, on the veg front not really, we have perpetual spinach as one of our greens - first year trying it so I'm interested to see how it does. Fruit, we do much more, we have rhubarb, blackberries, figs, apples, strawberries - the usual suspects :D We don't have the climate to grow peppers and tomatoes as perennials unfortunately... would love to see that and how it works :D Are you doing lots of perennial veg?
@@eliandkate Haha, this is funny because i very much grow lots of stuff for the sake of it. I love perennial vegetables myself because i usually get very into gardening during the warm seasons then completely ignore my garden when it's cold. So it's nice having some veg to eat that i can rely on growing back every year in case i don't get back into it again till late on (didn't start gardening this year till this week!).
So who's trying out either overwintered peppers or pruned plants? And who is leaving theirs as nature intended?
I have chillies, but I dithered about whether to top them or not so long that in the end I felt better not top. I will be very interested to see how your experiment goes!
I've got three overwintered plants but not sure it's worth the faff. I'll see how many fruit they give me
Yeah I think this is the thing… see how it all goes, is it worth it
Tried over wintering lost a couple they are now back in the raised bed in the GH fingers crossed....
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Fantastic to see the side-by-side comparison. Great video!
It’s going to be an interesting one to watch as the season goes on
Great experiment, this is fascinating 🤨.
Really looking forward to following this one throughout the season to see which one does best 👍
Me too…. It’s proper exciting
@@eliandkate how often do you need to fill the reservoir on the quad grow? I use halo pots at the mo but always on the lookout for anything that makes watering easier
At the minute not often, every 3 weeks maybe but once we’re proper into warm days and the plants are growing weekly
They are awesome
I love this experiment. I over wintered a red bell and a jalapeño. Both have already given me many peppers. I had great success.

It was simply that they weren’t getting any. I had used an organic feed and it doesn’t work with the reservoirs and basically “went off”. So the plants couldn’t take up the nutrition they needed
