I grew this variety last year, and we loved it. I have another one going this year. Good content, I picked up a few tips. I have the same moisture meter as you also.

Wonderful, thank you!

Yes.. I had a really great banana pepper for five years but this last winter I forgot to bring it in and it froze so I have to start a new one, but I’ve had bell peppers two or three years and they’re very productive. I’m always getting a bell pepper and I cook with them as well all the time.
I am producing peppers now, which I will for sure over winter and I do a few of them in those smart pots that are like a 5 gallon .
I put a small tomato cage in there to support it or a garden steak 🌱🌱 🌶️🫑

Have you been to the annual sunshine community garden sale? I get shishito and a few other pepper seedlings in addition to the ones I start from seed at home. They always have a great selection of heirloom pepper and tomato seedlings.

[@newgardenroad]

I haven’t been but I’d like to check it out in the future.

Yeah but you can't get the variety of peppers that you can get from seed. I have started over wintering peppers and trying to make them perennial.

Hi Scott I am in need of your help I started my plants from seed this year and its going good, big and green but very slow production if any -Yet? fertilizing once a week and now watering more (Central Texas) but uhh. honestly most of my plants are the same way. Not giving up

[@newgardenroad]

Hi, can you tell me what fertilizer you're using? Look for an NPK value on the label, Neptune's Harvest is a 2-4-1, and the middle number (phosphorous) corresponds to flowering and fruiting. If the first number (nitrogen) is higher, then that could explain healthy top growth and a lack of fruiting. It could also be based on timing. If you started seeds late then it just may take longer. Either way, hang in there as I wouldn't be surprised if you get a late summer or early fall flush of fruit.
