Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2021
- If you want an easy way of overwintering pepper plants then this video is for you! I'll demonstrate a really simple way of overwintering chilli plants so you can start growing chillies a lot earlier next year. So if you grow chillies from seed each year why not try to keep your chilli plants alive through the winter so you can get earlier bumper harvests next year.

Thank you for this fascinating video. I absolutely love Chili’s but wasn’t aware you could grow them over winter. Thank you so much. Alan
Thank you very much. Very very clear explanation on growing chilies.
Great video 👍
Great video brother, just the info I needed, thank you.
Thx for videos.. more even if there 3 mins or 2mins.. thx
great video
Very informative TY gonna give it a try. Hope to keep my plants alive over winter this year.
So calming watching you garden 🖐
👍
love that you are growing peppers that you readily admit you dont eat - kudos to you for supply friends and family and your plants look amazing - my plants really struggled this year so if i can overwinter a couple of them to have a head start next year i'll be well pleased - i'm still eating the pickle that you posted from last year - it is such potent stuff and i only add a small amount to my curries and sometimes make a chutney by adding to yoghurt - i think the chocolate habaneros were my favourite last year so glad i froze loads
I thought the aphids would have finished a lot of mine off but they eventually pulled through. The long red chillies you sent me last year were our favourite i can't remember their name, (not the dreset naga)
@@MyFamilyGarden The long ones were the 'Fire' habanero at a hefty 600,000 scovilles - i bought a plug plant from Seaspring but they are also selling seeds for them this year
thanks for the info - gonna give it go x
🌶 Absolutely beautiful red chilli! 😍 Totally enjoy your clear delight at your harvest. I’ll be having a look at my plants that are in pots to see if I have any varieties that are interesting enough to try overwintering 👍
Very useful video. Hope I can save at least a few chilli plants this year. Thanks for another super video.
Thanks Mothin. Will try tomorrow - picked 4 podded peas today for my niece's, having a boiling tomorrow for lunch, and thanks for that too!
I have chilli envy. They are looking lovely.
Wow, didn't know you could grow chilli plants for more than a year. Brilliant.
They're short lived perrenials, Some of the hot peppers can be even more productive in their second year
Back when Habaneros were the hottest of the hot, long ago in the 90’s, I dried some for the seeds. I took precautions and wore rubber gloves for processing the dried peppers. My eyes itched SO I RUBBED THEM! Ever seen eye blisters? Neither have I because they swelled shut. I laugh about it now but it was a rough couple of days. Take care when working with chilis!🤣🤣🤣
Great information, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for this. I’ve had a few excellent plants this year and it would have been a shame to put them on the compost heap. I’ll be doing this over the next few days and hopefully have an even better harvest next year. ❤
Great method. I have a serrano chilli that is a few years old, and a few more i want to get overwinter this year. I find the watering situation is so important, a helpful person drowned a lot of mine last winter, they really only need tiny amounts.
Im going to apply your suggestions to my chillies. They are still outside, minimum temperatures here in North-West Galicia [Spain] are 9-10°right now
Thanks! I can't wait to see your DIY heater idea. I can see from the state of some of the plants that it has already dropped below zero a couple of nights in our Polytunnel....
Love your videos,keep up the good work👍
I usally just dig up a couple of Jalapeno chilli plants from the greenhouse at the end of October, put them in 9 inch pots and continue growing them on my sunny kitchen window sill for the winter. They continue getting new flowers and chillis all winter and in the spring I plant them out in the greenhouse again. I even kept a couple of plants growing through two winters a few years ago but they were getting a bit straggley so I didn't replant them in the greenhouse for a second time.
I ended up having lotsof little flies in the house from my chillis
Lovely looking chillies 😊 Thank you for sharing your tips on over wintering the plants 😎 🌶 🌶 🌶
My pleasure 😊
Hi I enjoy all your videos. I apply what I need to my own backyard garden. Thanks
glad to help :)
Great tips! I successfully overwintered 1 chilli last year, hoping to do a few more this year. 🤞
Good luck!
Seen someone with Longhorn X Vampire Chilli F1, but they'll just be trialing it over a few more season's before thinking of releasing it, but it is certainly an eye catcher.
Thanks again for your kind advice - I’ve learnt a lot from you down the years.
In this instance I’m wondering if your chillis too close together for saving seeds?
In my experience, chilli plants cross pollinate enthusiastically so I get the intended fruit from the original plant but the plants from the seeds that are produced from cross pollination are almost invariably compromised by genetic intermingling - good if you’re looking for a chilli adventure but not so good if you want to know what you’re going to get out of your endeavours.
Thanks for the tips. That big Naga as you walk in - isn't that one growing out of the ground? If so is it a suitable specimen for overwintering given that you'll be heating the greenhouse?
It really has been a great year for chillies. I have managed to grow Trinidad Scorpions, Carolina Reapers.Scotch bonnets and lemon drop. Didn't think they grew so tall mine all grew over 4ft tall. They are still growing well in the greenhouse. I will cut back next week. I have purchased a heater for the greenhouse, any idea how warm I should keep the greenhouse? Thank you so much to you and your family for all the wonderful videos you have been uploading.
Im a bit late but want to plant lettuces and leafy greens inside this week. Is it too late or do you have advice? Many thanks for your wonderful posts
Hi Monty, I’m really intrigued by your naga pickle.. sounds lovely! Could you feature this in one of your cooking episodes please? :)
Of course, here it is

Eeeek Thank you! Im definitely going to try this at home..
Hi Mothin - great instructive video as always, couple of questions if you please? When re-potting to a smaller pot do you trim the roots well? Do you have any overwintering aphids on the plants?
If I'm moving them to a smaller pot anything I can't fit into the smaller pot I'll trim off, but avoid the big roots.
Aphids are always a problem will nearly everything I have indoors, no matter how clean I keep them
Great vid. How about some advice on overwintering aubergines? Pleeease 🙂
great suggestion, i'll try to fit something in this month
Thanks for the tips. I am struggling to keep my chillis alive over the summer this year, let alone the winter LOL. Slugs have massacred everything!
Yeah it’s been a great year for slugs!
Slugs are a nightmare, have you tried nematodes?
@@MyFamilyGarden I tried the ones for vine weevils which seems to be a success. I will look into this for next season, didn't realise there are ones for slugs!
I love your videos what is the salutation you start and end with and what language is that, I am Spanish 😊 by the way I can’t wait for your DIY green heater system video😃
It means 'Peace be upon you' in arabic. Hopefully i'll have it uploaded in a couple of weeks
@@MyFamilyGarden ‘ alsalam ealaykum ‘ to you too 😊
my chillies in pots have been very very slow starters. cayenne standard. they probably won't flower and produce in time. questiin: can i leave it as it us and put on my windowsill over winter and then put back outside in march?
Amazing vlog. Can you show how to overwinter dwarf fruit tree like apple and pear that are in containers and what if we don't have a greenhouse. Thank you
they're very hardy so you can leave them as they are unless they need a little pruning
@@MyFamilyGarden Okay thank you for reply.
This is useful right now. I'll give it a try. Does it work with Bell pepper too?
Yes it does, good luck with it
A very timely video, as so often happens, thanks.
I tried to overwinter chillis for the first time last year, but wasn't successful. I think the problem was I put them in my brightest window, but watered them like they were dormant. I was going to try putting them in my garage this year, but do you think they'll get too cold? Outdoor temps usually hover about 0-5 Celsius here, but the garage stays a little warmer.
I'll be saving some seeds anyway, but an early start on cropping would be good.
They need a minimum temp of about 7c, light is not an issue, but they do want some light so as long as it's not totally dark they should be ok.
@@MyFamilyGarden thanks monty. I think they should get enough light, and I'll monitor the temps in the garage. Last year, I put them in my office and managed to bring in a load of eggs or larvae with them, which quickly grew in the warmth of my house.
I put mine in the garage last year and then brought them into my porch in the spring (located in Dublin, Ireland with temperate climate so no proper freeze). 1 of 4 survived and it was the one with the biggest pot so maybe it had a bit more insulation for its roots. Id say i watered it twice. Got a whopper and early crop from it this year. Bishops hat. Fingers crossed I get more through this week winter... especially the late hot hot ones. Thanks for posting!! 🙏🙏
@@theatilley2952 I hope you get to keep lots this year. I've just put mine in, as Monty advised. I've been growing chillis for about 15 years, but only just discovered you can overwinter them, embarrassingly enough. Mine have been such good croppers this year, I hope to have a few more years with these plants.
@@melaniefrancis48 i sm sure you will! My lone survivor got so many compliments this year.,. and made the porch almost unsurpassable 😂😂😂😍🌱🌶
Weird old year for chillies, early doors too cold to put out in the greenhouse, then more aphid than you could shake a neem stick at, then wet and cloudy for weeks. But its turned into a bumper year #hopingforacoupleofsunnyweeks
I gave my friend some Naga pickle... he ate about half a teaspoonful and immediately started sweating... it was like he had just got out of the shower with his clothes on... I was actually quite worried for him
😅😅
Can these be kept indoors all year round without overwintering m
Yes, but they'll need additional light
@@MyFamilyGarden thank you brother 💕
@@MyFamilyGarden my purple naga may survive!
Can you save them with no greenhouse and no space indoors?
Unless in a really warm country i think you'll struggle
Assalamu alaikum, could I get some chilli seeds please.. am in UK too
walaikum salaam, it's quite late to sow them now
@@MyFamilyGarden ok then, next year insha'Allah bro..
