      The compost will germinate any seed in the straw, no? I like this idea but, it only works if you use a soaker hose. We are on a well with livestock. Some days our cattle are drinking so much water there’s no water pressure for the garden so, I have to water by hand. Overhead watering of the compost with the straw under it would be a disaster. Am I wrong?

    People give me hard time when I say this sometimes: but I’ve seen that when I use epsom salts dissolved as a liquid fertilizer it makes my peppers hotter. My buddy once went overkill and broadcasted epsom salts right over a patch and planted peppers. Even the jalapeños knocked our socks off

    One of my favorite gardeners to watch. I knew you already planted these as I saw the video you and Kevin did at his place regarding pepper planting. You mentioned that yours were in for a week already. Love your style. As I told you in the comments section a month or so back, my peppers are already in the ground and producing for me. We don't get that coastal cool down y'all have. It's much warmer here in Loma Linda. Next to Redlands for those unfamiliar with Loma Linda. I did pick some peppercini's this morning along with some shallots and artichoke. Still have to wait for the bells that are producing. Not big nor ripe enough yet. But they're coming. (I planted about thirty). Potatoes are doing well. I've already harvested approx fifteen lbs worth and expect another twenty to twenty five lbs. They'll come at the end of May. Plan to start (direct sow) my melons this weekend. Yellow flesh watermelon, cantaloupe, and honey dew. All purchased through botanical interests. Y'all's seed company.

The artichokes are wonderful right now, I need to find a space to add more to my garden.

As for the job hunt It is tough out there and being labeled overqualified is tough, sometimes it might be best to remove some experience when applying to some jobs. No guarantee, as I believe we have many applicants, but we are hiring a writer for the blog currently. ats.rippling.com/epic-gardening/jobs/35082dd1-db95-4fa9-99bd-4926b721c965

    I'm using compost with my peppers as well. However, I just pour a bucket of compost on top of my top soil and then mix it into the soil with my mini cultivator.

    Hi Jacques! I know this is about peppers, which is very helpful in itself (because peppers have not been an easy one for me) but ALSO, how do you get your strawberries (or anything) to do so well in the Greenstalk? I know how to get my garden plants do well (all things considered) but I can't seem to get plants in the Greenstalk to thrive. Thanks for your videos! I enjoy your content and way at it.

    Great video. I can see that a wind break would help a lot in keeping warm air in. I do have a question about the compost on top, though. Most of us don't have drip lines, so what should we do when there's a hard rain and it compacts the compost? How can we get it nice and fluffy again so it isn't hydrophobic?

    I have what looks like white powder on the stems of my peppers but the rest of the plant looks great. Is that powdery mildew? Also, what is the huge plant covered in long purple blooms? It’s behind most of your shots. It is beautiful!

    For good air flow in the greenhouse point a fan outside the greenhouse this should cause a draft effect and draw in fresh air. You can also try closing most windows or doors except the on a section opposite to the fan. To decrease heat point the fan out of the roof vent and open the door this should do the same but with hot air rising it will remove heat.

    • @jacquesinthegarden

      All of this definitely makes a lot of sense, I think I need to add a manual vent so I can control the airflow better.

    I really needed this! I’ve got some overwintered chilli peppers that set fruit too early(not enough sun) and they are so pitiful. They’re like the size and width of my thumbnail lol. Definitely welcome your advice for this years’ pepper seedlings which are currently being hardened off - I live in 8a/b but it’s been the gloomiest, windiest, wettest spring where I am so I’m behind 😵‍💫

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Місяць тому +1

      You can definitely remove the early peppers if they aren't thriving. They are often not worth it and the plant may even grow fast enough to make up for the "loss" after removal.

    I’m definitely interested in how the NM Joe Parker Green Chile Pepper does there. As someone who lives in the Chile State and where they were developed in Southern New Mexico, I’ve noticed they have better flavor when they are in desert environments with many days over 100. Which is why when they try to grow them in Colorado, they don’t have the flavor. So it will be interesting to see how they do there. Almost would need to send you some from southern NM to roast and see what or if there’s a difference.
    (I should note, we are also getting temps around high 80’s to low 90’s already for highs but we are high desert so the lows are typically a 30 degree difference.)

    We have the same taste in pepper varieties, almost exactly my list! The Leysa was a winner for my hot, rain-starved climate, usually thick-walled peppers are tricky. Since the burlap is on the west side, doesn't it shade the soil much of the day?

    • @jacquesinthegarden

      Its sort of angled North West and I have it set low enough that it only cast a small shadow near the end of the day which is totally fine with me!

      Baccatum and chinense peppers seem to do so much better for me in my climate. They seem to tolerate cooler weather overall leading to harvest even outside of summer. The mad hatter, sugar rush peach, and biquinho pepper always do best for me.

  • @angelapickett2252
    @angelapickett2252 Місяць тому

    Hi Jacques! Thank you for another great informative video. Question...because you plant the peppers in pairs, does that mean you don't have to provide any support for the individual plants? I have been putting mine next to a bamboo stake and tying them to it as they get loaded with peppers. But i would love to eliminate that step if I don't have to do it! 🙂

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Місяць тому

      I will likely still tie them up for general order. Otherwise it is hard to avoid them flopping at some point, one thought is to tie the two to the same stake so they grow into each other with little additional support.

    Your plants are much bigger than mine

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Місяць тому

      Some peppers are just naturally thicker walled than others so that is mostly just due to the variety. As for the plant sizing these were in the greenhouse which made a massive difference in their growth rate.

    Hey, did you top off your peppers when the plants were smaller? I purchased an 18" tall pepper from a friend and also wondering if I still should top it off to encourage branching. We're in 6a and planting time for warm veggies has just begun.

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Місяць тому +1

      I basically never top them mostly just because I don't bother. IMO for peppers larger than a jalapeno it is not worth it. The lower branches tend to sag leading to large peppers growing on the ground rather than up in the air. For small peppers I think it can be worth topping but I still usually just let them branch on their own since they never get too tall anyway which is why I top zinnias for example.

    @robyndudley9684 Місяць тому

    Jacques, do you top and prune your peppers? I do, but didn’t last year. Now I will always top and prune for bushier plants. The pepper flesh is more protected from the sun from all the extra leaves and production is higher. Topping only sets me back about 7-8 days for plant growth. Curious what your thoughts are on this?

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Місяць тому

      I only top peppers if they are smaller fruited. I find that most peppers self branch pretty easily on their own. With large peppers I find that topping leads to weaker branches that are too low leading to peppers growing on the ground. For Jalapeno size and smaller I think there is good logic to topping.,

    • @jacquesinthegarden
      @jacquesinthegarden  Місяць тому +1

      At the very first setup you can call the Dig hotline, in CA you dial "811" and they will send out service people for utilities to check where there existing lines are. We had to do it when I found an old buried gas line, luckily it wasn't active or owned by any utility so I was able to just rip it out. After that you just have to remember where you placed everything and occasionally you will just break something!
