Praying the hurricane misses you. We finally got some much needed rain, & thunderstorms here in the Ohio River Valley N. Ky. It took some tree limbs down, humidity is 100%. Your garden is looking fantastic.
I have seen posts that suggest using yellow solo cups ( or whatever you have that is yellow), cover it with Vaseline, put the cup upside down on a stick next to the plants and once covered with aphids replace the cup. They said that the aphids are attracted to the yellow color, worth a try and is an inexpensive solution ( if it works). Good luck with the aphids. Love your channel.
I learned aphids are attracted to plants that are getting an excess of nitrogen. I guess that’s why I never really see them. I always just basically use well aged manure and compost on my garden.
We received rain last night as a storm passed through in north central Alabama. Thankful. Bless you today, Danny & Wanda. Prayers for my husband, Joel, battling cancer.
There are hundreds of folks here in Oklahoma going through a situation with their peppers this year, what they thought were jalapeños, turning out to be some other type of peppers entirely.
I have a homemade pesticide / foliage feed that I can't say is full proof but worked for 3 years straight on aphids stinkbugs and worms. Plus it seemed to give a boost on blooming. A quart jar full of fresh from the ground elephant garlic cloves sliced and covered with water fermented for about two weeks out in the sun and heat. After fermentation pour the water into a spray bottle no dilution necessary and spray directly onto the plants but not heavy it goes a long way. And for the quart jar refill with water for one more less stout ferment. I live in south Ms. And make this during June and July
Wanda and Danny, thank you again for sharing your progress in the garden. And for the information on your pepper plants. Always informative. Thank you!
Those Shishito peppers will make some amazing pepper sauce(with the vinegar). It will be beautiful too. I remember the Mexican restaurant in Mobile, AL owner told us a story about him buying bell peppers that were too hot to eat. Customers were complaining so when they researched what happened their bell pepper source said they had planned ghost and Carolina Reapers in the same acreage as the bell peppers. Huge booboo! Lol
Danny and Miss Wanda, I've grown celebrity tomatoes the last few years, here in California. They are actually a semi determinate tomato. They will keep bushing out and growing a little taller, and they will continue to grow new tomatoes until it gets to cold. I'm in a hot dry climate and don't deal with blights like you might. So, I don't know how long they'd last in the deep south. Anyway, I hope this helps. I was confused about celebrity tomatoes the when I first grew them, but the way it continues to keep growing tomatoes is one of the many reasons I love them. God bless you both!
I had to laugh about the peppers. Things like that happen to us. We planted all large tomato types and wound up with a couple of vines with cherry tomatoes. My guess is some seeds were mixed up during packaging. We don't eat hot peppers, but I use them to create a numbing cream and a pain relief cream and pest control. Luv seeing your garden. We learn so much from you guys. Thank you.
I heard this happened a lot this past season, looks like more than one seed supplier sold mislabeled seed, which means there's no sense in saving seed from this past year, on tomatoes, or peppers. Sometimes older seed still sprouts, (except for lettuce, herbs, & alliums, like onions) so I'm going with seed saved from 2022 next year, & Baker Creek seed, which I've never had trouble with. Yet.
Last year I planted bell peppers and but I think are cow horns grew along with the bell peppers. I didn't think anything of it and I took it as a blessing cuz I like spicy.
You pulling up that shishito plant almost made me cry. I love them and forgot to buy seeds this year and didn’t find any starts around here. Ugh! FYI they are sooooo good fried in a little oil with a yogurt or sour cream base sauce on top to cool any of the heat.
Yep. That happened to me with "sweet peppers" a couple of years ago. Super hot! Yikes! How long before your corn is ready to harvest? Sure hope you get them before any hurricanes come! Love your gardens, guys!

I cannot tolerate spicy things at all, and these were indeed jalapeños (that I let ripen to a nice DEEP red) that had been mismarked. That was the first and last year I ever bought plants.

Summary of this story: thank you for that lesson about the peppers taking on heat from neighbor peppers. I will be sure to not make that mistake. 🤣 God bless you!
@Messy Beautiful Motherhood I feel for you. I bought a plant from my local mom and pop that was an ornamental dark purple pepper. You can eat them. But, it's such a pretty plant I wanted one for the porch in a pot. Well, I thought I'd try one just for the sake of seeing what they tasted like. OH MY Word!! I took a bite of one of those little ball like peppers......RAN IN THE HOUSE.....poured a glass of milk and refilled it 2 times. It took 3 cups of milk before I could deal with it. That was THE HOTTEST pepper I've ever eaten and I like hot stuff.
I will never buy Bonnie plants again. they have no clue what they a are doing anymore. I stopped buying a couple years ago when the plants I bought were all mixed up. Recently I received a lavender and a mint for my birthday. I wanted peppermint and English lavender specifically. My relative got me both but neither say what kind of mint or lavender it is. It's definitely not English lavender as it barely smells and the mint is the same I can get by the river for free. So disappointed in this Bonnie plant company that used to be one of the best for organic plants. I will buy from them again when/if they get their 💩 together. You try to support good companies even if they are expensive, but when they pull this stuff,I can no longer support them.
Good morning Danny and Wanda, you always make sure to tell us that we’re a blessing to you two. Well, I want to let the two of you know that you’re a definite blessing to me! I’ve learned so much from someone in my age group that I wish that I’d known you when we were younger, my garden area would be in a much better stage right now. That being said, because of your UA-cam videos, this year looks like my plants are going to provide much more food than it did last year. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge.
About the peppers, I had a red Marconi that turned hot late in the season. I understand the sun can intensify the heat in smaller fruit. Thx for info and research!
Mornin! I planted some lunchbox "sweet" peppers this year and will check for heat. Wow. Hoping that hurricane forecast changes been watching that too coming up
thank you wanda for the video, i know it is a lot of work. we here in sw VA in the mountains are cold. the raspberries are all turning red (about four weeks early for us and it has been fifties and some forties at night) no tomatoes yet, really just praying God bless the harvest. Thanks and hope you have a great day.
I’ve got 10 antennas in my pots and tubs with my tomatoes cucumbers peppers squash thank the Good Lord the plants are beautiful I’ve been laughed at for the antennas. Im old but can still teach and learn thanks I’ve spread the word we’re in north still a month away from ripe fruit
Do you think they are helping? I just put more out. I just made some more and put more out in the garden this morning and actually sold a set on eBay last night after listing so people are starting to learn more about it I believe. I’ve noticed less bugs for sure with it here in southern Ohio. Happy growing!
They are! We've eaten so many volunteer shishitos that way as a lunch! We make a lime and garlic aioli. I've also pickled them in ACV, and lime juice using the USDA marinated peppers idea (remove tops and most of seeds BEFORE blistering) I don't add the oil to the jars, just for the blistering part. Toss into any sheet pan meal, towards last 15 or so minutes to warm up. That hit of summer in December. So good! Although, not a single one of ours, out of many hundreds, have ever been even a touch hot.
Yes. They are lying up the woohaw to us. I’m trying to do farmer market more and farmers online like y’all and homestead heart ordering my heirloom seeds. I know I’ll get the real deal!! Thanks Danny and Wanda for sharing. Now I’m gonna be more vigilant.
Aphids tear up my peas and butterbeans every year. They get on my okra too pretty bad but usually real late in the season. I usually plant peas in April and again in July and they take them all. I just keep trying to spray them off with the hose and just rinse the peas I get as I pick them
Good morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. That's interesting that y'all are growing the Cherokee Tan Pumpkins in the shade of the corn. We are growing pop pink eyed purple hull peas for the first time and our plants are growing like crazy - I'm wondering if maybe we shouldn't have used 8-24-24 on them when we planted? Thanks for the great video!
You could perhaps try sinking a bucket and filling it with water for birds that love aphids. With small rocks in for birds to rest on as the water evaporates. It’s been drought ridden in the UK and although some folk have little ponds in their vegetable gardens, bee and bird drinking stations really do help maintain necessary fauna. I’m guessing you already have a massive pond nearby like at your home homestead. Fascinating about the differences in your tomatoes. Wonder if the copper spirals attract lightening. You’d have ready made green fried tomatoes 😃
Thank you for sharing all of the information. I live in coastal SC and your weather and ours are similar. Your knowledge sharing really helps! I am doing electroculture this year. Thanks to you and Hills Mill!
Danny and Wanda, many years ago I planted a small a row of Jalapeno peppers beside my green bell peppers they bloomed about the same time, when the jalapeno peppers were a good size I broke one off and tasted to see how much heat it had, to my surprise it have little heat and a hint of bell pepper flavor then the row of bell peppers I took a bell off of each plant and they each had a little bite and the definitely each had the flavor of jalapeno the mix of the flavors is not a pleasant flavor so after tasting the fruit from each plant, I pulled both rows, I was lucky on the top of the garden I had several row of different kinds of sweet Bell peppers. Everyone told me it was not possible, but I knew it happened to me, I am very careful now of the type of plants that I plant close to each other, after all it is my hard work that I am risking.
I'm glad you did this video. As a successful 'Homesteader & Gardener' people look to you for advise and information on their gardens. The thing about those 'peppers' will make the rounds and other 'Homesteaders' will warn their subscribers about that particular variety. And Miss Wanda is right because it was a 'combination' of the manufacturers not warning the consumer and you guys personally not doing your research which just goes to show no matter how _successful_ you become there will always be something more to learn and that is a 'combination of _practical experience AND research!_ Be blessed and thank you!
Prayers for you both, and all. I got fed up with my efforts today, went to the hardware store to get stuff to try and save my peach tree, and walked straight into two "forever garden" plants I've been wanting. it's the best to see your progress. it gives me hope and joy.
Yall AND yalls channel is such a blessing!! I learn something everytime. I am super interested in the electroculture. A wealth of information for us southern gardeners. I am praying about moving to the Ozarks but haven't got the go yet. But am trying to learn how things are grown in that area as well. Be blessed !!❤❤❤
I've bought some of those shoshito peppers at grocery before & was pleased as they only had a mild heat & I loved them. Sorry you got a triple helping!
last week, all my trellised maters were stripped off the plants, about 20 plants for starters. Next night the deer, one deer, went to the caged tomatoes and ate on them. Never lost tomatoes to deer before. Your maters are looking mighty good!
Danny and Wanda, thank you for this information. I had no idea that hot peppers can combine with bell peppers. Guess I'm going to make an awful lot of ground hot paprika for my son in law this year! I planted all the peppers together in the same raised bed. Plus, I didn't originally know there were varying degrees of paprika peppers, mild medium and hot hot! I ended up wearing a n95 mask just to dehydrate. My dehydrator is now out in the garage so I can keep the door open. Fumes are bad. Thanks again for teaching this old gal something new. Stay blessed my dears
Sorry your peppers went rogue Kids! Can you handle dairy? My family I make curries for use yogurt to accompany meals with heat. Dairy should temper pepper effects.
The town I lived in, in NY had a lot of iron too. Evergreen trees grew great but everything else was a struggle. I had used raised beds too to grow veggies.
My biggest grip is seeing vegetables in small starter pots that are all same size as they were a month ago. Growers started using growth retardant on veggie plants. It slows them down for weeks. When i took horticulture classes, we were only allowed to use it on flowers. I was just at Atwoods farm center and they still had hundreds of 4" seedlings that were stunted and pretty much a goner.
A little unsolicited advice, Danny, from a voice of experience. I used to have heartburn bad enough to light up New York City. I was hooked on Maalox, which I didn't know at the time has enough Aluminum in it to destroy your kidneys. I was in total "want-to-die" misery until I bought Paavo Airola's wonderful book "How To Get Well", from which I learned that freshly juiced fresh green cabbage cures heartburn. I only had to drink fresh green cabbage juice three or four times, and I've NEVER had heartburn again! BTW, if you juice your own freshly grown green cabbage, it actually tastes kind of pleasant, and much better than the green cabbages you buy in the store. My method of ingestion: lean back in an easy chair and let sips of cabbage juice flow gently down the back of your throat. For me, a dose of about 4 ounces (about half a glass) is about right. The great thing about God's Creation is that you can't really overdose on natural health solutions and good nutrition. Heartburn hasn't been in my life for over 20 years. I'm grateful that you have lots of bees. We seem to be having a decline in the number of honey bees. The Bumble Bees and Carpenter Bees seem to be normal. God bless Deep South Homestead and all who dwell there! 🙏🙏
What a shame, that was a nice pepper plant, too! I'm so glad I saw this, the Shishito was on my list of pepper varieties to try, but here we don't mess with peppers any hotter than jalapeno or poblano. We like just a hint of heat, but nothing like a tabasco or cayenne, etc. let alone a scotch bonnet.
I am getting back into gardening. My helper messed up my system a few years ago. God love him. He didn't understand. I had to start over. But I had some dill that would come up voluntarily, as did some cilantro. That dill drew up a load of ladybugs and in the last year before the loss of the gardening set up, I had zero aphid problem. No need for the dish soap remedy that year. Bees love cilantro flowers as far as I could tell. My dill had some heads a foot across in size in their little 'permaculture idea' setting. Last year I planted in pots to get some plants to save more seed from mostly, purple hulls a part of it. It was going to be too hot to get much anyway from tomatoes and such. And in the new spot, I had a cutworm problem in the purple hulls planted in the ground, so I went to a few pots to grow them up. This year I put those purple hulls out from seedlings started in pots from that seed early this year. No aphids and they are much bigger than snaps already. My okra seems a little puny and slow this year. I don't understand that right now, at all. I had saved some dill seed previously, but I guess it doesn't last as long for seed, because it didn't sprout. I gotta get some more dill seed before the aphids find out what I am doing here again.
God bless you and Wanda, we haven't had rain in weeks here in Wisconsin, we found some copper wire and made a bunch of antennas put them next to the tomato plants , ect. Be safe with the weather hopefully you get just rain 🌧.
I have just found through the years that the aphids don’t hurt my cowpeas very much. I freaked out the first year and sprayed neam oil-no help. Now I just shrug and let them go. I’m harvesting black eyed peas right now and a few plants have them but the pods aren’t affected. That’s just my experience. Thanks.
The best sweet peppers I've found are Carnival red yellow and purples. Skillet with beef and peppers take all the beef flavor like no pepper I've seen.
Used a hammer mill to chop up straw for bedding in the barn! Very noisy! But works great. Just had to occasionally kick the belt back on straight. Can be very dangerous!
Spent may summer days in South Louisiana shucking, shelling and grinding corn on the mill that ran off a Farrmall 140 with the pto shaft stuck through a hole in the back wall of the barn. Unfortunately when my grandfather passed away all the stuff was either stolen or sold for scrap. 😢
I’ve grown a jalapeño pepper plant and because the plant was stressed from heat and dryness it had the hottest peppers ever had. My hubby is a hot sauce lover and he couldn’t eat the pepper. Maybe the hot thing is a weather thing? Many blessings y’all, Linda
I learned this lesson last year. I planted banana peppers and sweet peppers and a few Hungarian hot wax peppers. We could not tell which pepper was which, they were all hot!
If I have a great garden this year it is because of all your information and tips for getting the best from what God gave us. Thanks to Deep South Homestead from Ohio.
Hello from Las Vegas, NV!!! We have plenty of aphids here as much as we have sand out here, but I use Castile soap and water or neem oil and castile soap. This year, I had an abundance of praying mantis and ladybugs so I didn't have that much aphids on our roses where the aphids normally suck the living hell out of the flower buds. I also noticed that aphids loves my collard greens more than my roses so I let them eat up the collard greens as sacrificial plant where I let the collard greens seed anyway and it seems that the aphids congregate there more and ladybugs love that too...
As far as the Peppers go, I'd suggest checking your Sulphur levels. Last year, we bought what was supposed to be Hot peppers. And they all turned out to be Mild. We called the company that sold us the peppers and they suggested taking a match tip and putting it into the soil beside the plants and watering it in. According to them, the Sulphur helps the plant to heat up. We tried this, and it immediately took effect and we started harvesting hot peppers every time off the same exact plant. Funny the things we learn along the years of gardening experience. I never knew that Sulphur would impact a pepper plant in such a way.
Mr Danny, have you thought about picking up 2 ibc totes to use to haul and store water? That’s what I use on my place where I don’t have water access. I haul water with 1, and pump it into the other when it gets empty. A small amount of bleach will help keep it from loading up with algae. You can use a deep cycle battery and small water pump to transfer water. By adding a water hose fitting to the ibc tote valve, you can gravity fill buckets. That’s how I keep my chickens watered.
Pressure from insects, high temps and lack of water, or any other stress will increase the capsaicin content of all peppers. We've had jalapeños that were sweet and sweet peppers that would light your ears up after beetles gave them heck.
Love the videos. I grow a variety of peppers 🌶️ hot and not, in a greenhouse, I use GARLIC WATER for the APHIDS. A gallon in a pump sprayer. Or Tomato water. The leaves that fall off, the tomatoes plant, gather up. Add to a 5 gallon bucket of water, to steep overnight, strain out leaves, add to pump sprayer. ⚠️ Don’t spray, tomato water on tomatoes plants, it will permanently dispatch the plant 🌱 Beautiful property ❤️
Just received my electroculture coils from Hills Mills per your sharing of the link. I just placed them in the ground to see if they will coax my plants to begin producing.
Good morning Mr Danny & Mrs Wanda. Oh my I wanted to taste those shishito sweet peppers as so many people were raving about them , So I bought some for my small garden this year - as after that emergency back fusion surgery then getting SEPSIS, We couldn't have our big garden like the past several years, My husband and 2 granddaughters ages 9 & kelsie just turned 11 . Helped plant my plants I did start , My shishito pepper plants are really doing great - Oh I hope they are sweet , Im sorry that happen to you Mr.Danny . Now if some are hot they wont go to waste as my oldest son loves Serrano's and Habineros- which they planted 4 plants for him . I started making No knead sandwich bread 3 weeks ago in regular bread pans as I cant lift my cast iron enamel inside stock pot - I purchased to make sour dough round bread and Ms.lippys Cajun pastalaya last year . God bless you both . Im looking into a dydrator as we cant afford a freeze dryer - but the dehydrator will b able to help me keep stocking up . Do yall suggest one please ? Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤
I’ve had some problems with the plants from Bonnie’s this year not being tagged correctly. Bought two super sweet 100 cherry tomatoes and one of those is producing a larger tomato that has a heirloom shape. Also got four bell pepper plants from Bonnie and one of those is a different variety. Most of my garden I start with seed but this year I had to pick up these plants.
Thanks for the garden tour. It’s hard to believe that in the Deep South you are getting near the end of the gardening season and where I am in the upper Midwest, it seems like we just got things rolling.
Its from the Bees polinating those bushes side by side. If you have an orange tree & grapefruit or lemon near each other, the oranges will be bitter & the others more sweet. Its from the polination.
I was told (by an older farmer, probably in his late 70"s to mid 80's) to "paint" mineral oil on the tassels of corn to keep ants off of the corn. I am going to put mineral oil on the stalks of my okra, and tomatoes and squash to see if that works to keep bugs away. The farmer has always put mineral oil on his corn.
Shishito peppers over here--- are known to be sweet if watered--but if it's later in season, or hitting a dry season, they are spicy! We also say shishito has some 'winners'--which are the spicy ones...
I was blessed to get a Golden grain grinder at an estate auction the other other day. I scored it for $30. I also got 6 buckets of wheat for $1. God's Blessing

@Messy Beautiful Motherhood I feel for you. I bought a plant from my local mom and pop that was an ornamental dark purple pepper. You can eat them. But, it's such a pretty plant I wanted one for the porch in a pot. Well, I thought I'd try one just for the sake of seeing what they tasted like. OH MY Word!! I took a bite of one of those little ball like peppers......RAN IN THE HOUSE.....poured a glass of milk and refilled it 2 times. It took 3 cups of milk before I could deal with it. That was THE HOTTEST pepper I've ever eaten and I like hot stuff.
I will never buy Bonnie plants again. they have no clue what they a are doing anymore. I stopped buying a couple years ago when the plants I bought were all mixed up. Recently I received a lavender and a mint for my birthday. I wanted peppermint and English lavender specifically. My relative got me both but neither say what kind of mint or lavender it is. It's definitely not English lavender as it barely smells and the mint is the same I can get by the river for free. So disappointed in this Bonnie plant company that used to be one of the best for organic plants. I will buy from them again when/if they get their 💩 together.
You try to support good companies even if they are expensive, but when they pull this stuff,I can no longer support them.
Good morning Danny and Wanda, you always make sure to tell us that we’re a blessing to you two. Well, I want to let the two of you know that you’re a definite blessing to me! I’ve learned so much from someone in my age group that I wish that I’d known you when we were younger, my garden area would be in a much better stage right now. That being said, because of your UA-cam videos, this year looks like my plants are going to provide much more food than it did last year. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge.
About the peppers, I had a red Marconi that turned hot late in the season. I understand the sun can intensify the heat in smaller fruit. Thx for info and research!
Mornin! I planted some lunchbox "sweet" peppers this year and will check for heat. Wow. Hoping that hurricane forecast changes been watching that too coming up
Good morning everyone
You might consider rain catchment barrels at the property.
thank you wanda for the video, i know it is a lot of work. we here in sw VA in the mountains are cold. the raspberries are all turning red (about four weeks early for us and it has been fifties and some forties at night) no tomatoes yet, really just praying God bless the harvest. Thanks and hope you have a great day.
I’ve got 10 antennas in my pots and tubs with my tomatoes cucumbers peppers squash thank the Good Lord the plants are beautiful I’ve been laughed at for the antennas. Im old but can still teach and learn thanks I’ve spread the word we’re in north still a month away from ripe fruit
Do you think they are helping? I just put more out. I just made some more and put more out in the garden this morning and actually sold a set on eBay last night after listing so people are starting to learn more about it I believe. I’ve noticed less bugs for sure with it here in southern Ohio. Happy growing!
@@farmmommadixon305Are they copper??
@@infinity.1.0 yes they are.
I have heard of you char them in a hot skillet just to blacken the skins and dip in a garlic aioli they are wonderful. 😃
They are! We've eaten so many volunteer shishitos that way as a lunch! We make a lime and garlic aioli. I've also pickled them in ACV, and lime juice using the USDA marinated peppers idea (remove tops and most of seeds BEFORE blistering) I don't add the oil to the jars, just for the blistering part. Toss into any sheet pan meal, towards last 15 or so minutes to warm up. That hit of summer in December. So good! Although, not a single one of ours, out of many hundreds, have ever been even a touch hot.
Yes. They are lying up the woohaw to us. I’m trying to do farmer market more and farmers online like y’all and homestead heart ordering my heirloom seeds. I know I’ll get the real deal!! Thanks Danny and Wanda for sharing. Now I’m gonna be more vigilant.
Your garden is beautiful. Thanks and God bless you and your family. I'm still battling white flies.
My grandfather used to scoop a bit of dirt to sprinkle on the newly emerged silks. He never had worms etc in his corn. Pre 1950
Aphids tear up my peas and butterbeans every year. They get on my okra too pretty bad but usually real late in the season. I usually plant peas in April and again in July and they take them all. I just keep trying to spray them off with the hose and just rinse the peas I get as I pick them
Good morning Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. That's interesting that y'all are growing the Cherokee Tan Pumpkins in the shade of the corn. We are growing pop pink eyed purple hull peas for the first time and our plants are growing like crazy - I'm wondering if maybe we shouldn't have used 8-24-24 on them when we planted? Thanks for the great video!
WOW! Look at the Danny corn!!! Amazing!
Enjoy seeing the corn updates. Looking forward to seeing the harvest. I hope y'all can give some tips on how to tell when it is ready to pick.
So glad you are here every Saturday ❤
You could perhaps try sinking a bucket and filling it with water for birds that love aphids. With small rocks in for birds to rest on as the water evaporates. It’s been drought ridden in the UK and although some folk have little ponds in their vegetable gardens, bee and bird drinking stations really do help maintain necessary fauna. I’m guessing you already have a massive pond nearby like at your home homestead.
Fascinating about the differences in your tomatoes. Wonder if the copper spirals attract lightening. You’d have ready made green fried tomatoes 😃
Thank you for sharing all of the information. I live in coastal SC and your weather and ours are similar. Your knowledge sharing really helps! I am doing electroculture this year. Thanks to you and Hills Mill!
Thank you for your honesty, as always. It helps to see others successes, but also failures and the things learned from these experiences. God bless.
Danny and Wanda, many years ago I planted a small a row of Jalapeno peppers beside my green bell peppers they bloomed about the same time, when the jalapeno peppers were a good size I broke one off and tasted to see how much heat it had, to my surprise it have little heat and a hint of bell pepper flavor then the row of bell peppers I took a bell off of each plant and they each had a little bite and the definitely each had the flavor of jalapeno the mix of the flavors is not a pleasant flavor so after tasting the fruit from each plant, I pulled both rows, I was lucky on the top of the garden I had several row of different kinds of sweet Bell peppers. Everyone told me it was not possible, but I knew it happened to me, I am very careful now of the type of plants that I plant close to each other, after all it is my hard work that I am risking.
I'm glad you did this video. As a successful 'Homesteader & Gardener' people look to you for advise and information on their gardens. The thing about those 'peppers' will make the rounds and other 'Homesteaders' will warn their subscribers about that particular variety. And Miss Wanda is right because it was a 'combination' of the manufacturers not warning the consumer and you guys personally not doing your research which just goes to show no matter how _successful_ you become there will always be something more to learn and that is a 'combination of _practical experience AND research!_ Be blessed and thank you!
Prayers for you both, and all. I got fed up with my efforts today, went to the hardware store to get stuff to try and save my peach tree, and walked straight into two "forever garden" plants I've been wanting. it's the best to see your progress. it gives me hope and joy.
What are the "forever garden "plants please
@@sandraking9650 Hi! Goji berry and a blackberry bush. any perennials qualify
Good morning 😊
Thank you for the lessons!
Haha, I’ve gotten a couple of those fiery shishitos!
Yall AND yalls channel is such a blessing!! I learn something everytime. I am super interested in the electroculture. A wealth of information for us southern gardeners. I am praying about moving to the Ozarks but haven't got the go yet. But am trying to learn how things are grown in that area as well. Be blessed !!❤❤❤
6:18 Thanks so much for sharing! Learned something new.
My tomato plants are growing crazy with the Electroculture. Big difference.
I've bought some of those shoshito peppers at grocery before & was pleased as they only had a mild heat & I loved them. Sorry you got a triple helping!
Good morning DSH. Garden looks great! Keep us posted on the aphids. Stay safe up there and keep on growing!🤠
We need rain in Northern IL. Will pray no hurricane damages. God Bless Danny and Wanda.
last week, all my trellised maters were stripped off the plants, about 20 plants for starters. Next night the deer, one deer, went to the caged tomatoes and ate on them. Never lost tomatoes to deer before. Your maters are looking mighty good!
Plant some Rosemary near your plants. They hate it.
Danny and Wanda, thank you for this information. I had no idea that hot peppers can combine with bell peppers. Guess I'm going to make an awful lot of ground hot paprika for my son in law this year! I planted all the peppers together in the same raised bed. Plus, I didn't originally know there were varying degrees of paprika peppers, mild medium and hot hot! I ended up wearing a n95 mask just to dehydrate. My dehydrator is now out in the garage so I can keep the door open. Fumes are bad. Thanks again for teaching this old gal something new. Stay blessed my dears
Sorry your peppers went rogue Kids! Can you handle dairy? My family I make curries for use yogurt to accompany meals with heat. Dairy should temper pepper effects.
Those peppers are so good when harvested green and blistered in a little Olive oil with salt and pepper no heat.
Everything's looking amazing...sorry yall had to take that one out
we have a lot of iron ore on our property and I notice a difference in planting in the ground vs in a raised bed.
The town I lived in, in NY had a lot of iron too. Evergreen trees grew great but everything else was a struggle. I had used raised beds too to grow veggies.
My biggest grip is seeing vegetables in small starter pots that are all same size as they were a month ago. Growers started using growth retardant on veggie plants. It slows them down for weeks. When i took horticulture classes, we were only allowed to use it on flowers. I was just at Atwoods farm center and they still had hundreds of 4" seedlings that were stunted and pretty much a goner.
Was them really good in miracle grow and many times they will pull out of being stunted.
A little unsolicited advice, Danny, from a voice of experience. I used to have heartburn bad enough to light up New York City. I was hooked on Maalox, which I didn't know at the time has enough Aluminum in it to destroy your kidneys. I was in total "want-to-die" misery until I bought Paavo Airola's wonderful book "How To Get Well", from which I learned that freshly juiced fresh green cabbage cures heartburn. I only had to drink fresh green cabbage juice three or four times, and I've NEVER had heartburn again! BTW, if you juice your own freshly grown green cabbage, it actually tastes kind of pleasant, and much better than the green cabbages you buy in the store. My method of ingestion: lean back in an easy chair and let sips of cabbage juice flow gently down the back of your throat. For me, a dose of about 4 ounces (about half a glass) is about right. The great thing about God's Creation is that you can't really overdose on natural health solutions and good nutrition. Heartburn hasn't been in my life for over 20 years. I'm grateful that you have lots of bees. We seem to be having a decline in the number of honey bees. The Bumble Bees and Carpenter Bees seem to be normal. God bless Deep South Homestead and all who dwell there! 🙏🙏
Yes I knew from my seed source about the odd 'hot' peppers on the Shishito plants.
What a shame, that was a nice pepper plant, too! I'm so glad I saw this, the Shishito was on my list of pepper varieties to try, but here we don't mess with peppers any hotter than jalapeno or poblano. We like just a hint of heat, but nothing like a tabasco or cayenne, etc. let alone a scotch bonnet.
Danny, here in Indiana as a child I was always told that when the field corn points down it's ready
I use mixture of hot pepper juice, water, and a drop of castile soap for insect control.
I am getting back into gardening. My helper messed up my system a few years ago. God love him. He didn't understand. I had to start over. But I had some dill that would come up voluntarily, as did some cilantro. That dill drew up a load of ladybugs and in the last year before the loss of the gardening set up, I had zero aphid problem. No need for the dish soap remedy that year. Bees love cilantro flowers as far as I could tell. My dill had some heads a foot across in size in their little 'permaculture idea' setting.
Last year I planted in pots to get some plants to save more seed from mostly, purple hulls a part of it. It was going to be too hot to get much anyway from tomatoes and such. And in the new spot, I had a cutworm problem in the purple hulls planted in the ground, so I went to a few pots to grow them up. This year I put those purple hulls out from seedlings started in pots from that seed early this year. No aphids and they are much bigger than snaps already. My okra seems a little puny and slow this year. I don't understand that right now, at all.
I had saved some dill seed previously, but I guess it doesn't last as long for seed, because it didn't sprout. I gotta get some more dill seed before the aphids find out what I am doing here again.
God bless you and Wanda, we haven't had rain in weeks here in Wisconsin, we found some copper wire and made a bunch of antennas put them next to the tomato plants , ect. Be safe with the weather hopefully you get just rain 🌧.
That corn in the back ground looks amazing. Mine is just about as tall as me right now and I think its struggling to grow taller. Great job.
I have just found through the years that the aphids don’t hurt my cowpeas very much. I freaked out the first year and sprayed neam oil-no help. Now I just shrug and let them go. I’m harvesting black eyed peas right now and a few plants have them but the pods aren’t affected. That’s just my experience. Thanks.
I saved seeds from organic mini sweet yellow, orange and red peppers and had success for 2 years growing.
Everything looks great. We got rain yesterday for the first time in over
Three weeks. Garden is happy.
Thats crazy!
I have been growing Shashitos and have never had a hot pepper.. yet.
The best sweet peppers I've found are Carnival red yellow and purples.
Skillet with beef and peppers take all the beef flavor like no pepper I've seen.
Used a hammer mill to chop up straw for bedding in the barn! Very noisy! But works great. Just had to occasionally kick the belt back on straight. Can be very dangerous!
Spent may summer days in South Louisiana shucking, shelling and grinding corn on the mill that ran off a Farrmall 140 with the pto shaft stuck through a hole in the back wall of the barn. Unfortunately when my grandfather passed away all the stuff was either stolen or sold for scrap. 😢
Mockmill is the mill I use for my wheat flour and set it for cornmeal and can set for just cracked wheat check it out
I’ve grown a jalapeño pepper plant and because the plant was stressed from heat and dryness it had the hottest peppers ever had. My hubby is a hot sauce lover and he couldn’t eat the pepper.
Maybe the hot thing is a weather thing?
Many blessings y’all, Linda
I learned this lesson last year. I planted banana peppers and sweet peppers and a few Hungarian hot wax peppers. We could not tell which pepper was which, they were all hot!
If I have a great garden this year it is because of all your information and tips for getting the best from what God gave us.
Thanks to Deep South Homestead from Ohio.
Your gardens are an inspiration. I only hope to one day have the knowledge that you've shared. Enjoy your week!
Every year is a learning experience, trial & error, as in life. Be blessed
we love fried green tomatoes ,I always can some for winter,so good
Hello from Las Vegas, NV!!!
We have plenty of aphids here as much as we have sand out here, but I use Castile soap and water or neem oil and castile soap. This year, I had an abundance of praying mantis and ladybugs so I didn't have that much aphids on our roses where the aphids normally suck the living hell out of the flower buds. I also noticed that aphids loves my collard greens more than my roses so I let them eat up the collard greens as sacrificial plant where I let the collard greens seed anyway and it seems that the aphids congregate there more and ladybugs love that too...
As far as the Peppers go, I'd suggest checking your Sulphur levels. Last year, we bought what was supposed to be Hot peppers. And they all turned out to be Mild. We called the company that sold us the peppers and they suggested taking a match tip and putting it into the soil beside the plants and watering it in. According to them, the Sulphur helps the plant to heat up. We tried this, and it immediately took effect and we started harvesting hot peppers every time off the same exact plant.
Funny the things we learn along the years of gardening experience. I never knew that Sulphur would impact a pepper plant in such a way.
It stands to reason because sulfur is very acidic.
Always enjoy your teaching videos.
Mr Danny, have you thought about picking up 2 ibc totes to use to haul and store water? That’s what I use on my place where I don’t have water access. I haul water with 1, and pump it into the other when it gets empty. A small amount of bleach will help keep it from loading up with algae. You can use a deep cycle battery and small water pump to transfer water. By adding a water hose fitting to the ibc tote valve, you can gravity fill buckets. That’s how I keep my chickens watered.
Pressure from insects, high temps and lack of water, or any other stress will increase the capsaicin content of all peppers. We've had jalapeños that were sweet and sweet peppers that would light your ears up after beetles gave them heck.
Thank you both so much for your videos, I'm learning so much from you guys. God's blessing over you 🙏 ❤
Kevin and Sara over at Living Traditions grind their own flour, but I think they use some kind of electrical gizmo.
Hey Danny and Wanda. I planted a Shishito pepper last year, it was extremely hot too.
I absolutely enjoy yalls channel! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me and all of UA-cam land!
Love the videos. I grow a variety of peppers 🌶️ hot and not, in a greenhouse, I use GARLIC WATER for the APHIDS. A gallon in a pump sprayer. Or Tomato water. The leaves that fall off, the tomatoes plant, gather up. Add to a 5 gallon bucket of water, to steep overnight, strain out leaves, add to pump sprayer. ⚠️ Don’t spray, tomato water on tomatoes plants, it will permanently dispatch the plant 🌱 Beautiful property ❤️
Love this so much! Please don’t stop making videos 😊
Just received my electroculture coils from Hills Mills per your sharing of the link. I just placed them in the ground to see if they will coax my plants to begin producing.
Good morning Mr Danny & Mrs Wanda.
Oh my I wanted to taste those shishito sweet peppers as so many people were raving about them ,
So I bought some for my small garden this year - as after that emergency back fusion surgery then getting SEPSIS,
We couldn't have our big garden like the past several years,
My husband and 2 granddaughters ages 9 & kelsie just turned 11 .
Helped plant my plants I did start ,
My shishito pepper plants are really doing great -
Oh I hope they are sweet ,
Im sorry that happen to you
Mr.Danny .
Now if some are hot they wont go to waste as my oldest son loves Serrano's and Habineros- which they planted 4 plants for him .
I started making No knead sandwich bread 3 weeks ago in regular bread pans as I cant lift my cast iron enamel inside stock pot -
I purchased to make sour dough round bread and
Ms.lippys
Cajun pastalaya last year .
God bless you both .
Im looking into a dydrator as we cant afford a freeze dryer - but the dehydrator will b able to help me keep stocking up .
Do yall suggest one please ?

Good morning thanks for the information on the peppers i would have never known that ❤have a blessed day ❤
I’ve had some problems with the plants from Bonnie’s this year not being tagged correctly. Bought two super sweet 100 cherry tomatoes and one of those is producing a larger tomato that has a heirloom shape. Also got four bell pepper plants from Bonnie and one of those is a different variety. Most of my garden I start with seed but this year I had to pick up these plants.
Horn worms...from my maters...I found those things on my rose bushes last year! Never have I ever saw a mater worm on a rose bush!
Thanks for the garden tour. It’s hard to believe that in the Deep South you are getting near the end of the gardening season and where I am in the upper Midwest, it seems like we just got things rolling.
Its from the Bees polinating those bushes side by side. If you have an orange tree & grapefruit or lemon near each other, the oranges will be bitter & the others more sweet. Its from the polination.
The garden is looking good 🙏
I was told (by an older farmer, probably in his late 70"s to mid 80's) to "paint" mineral oil on the tassels of corn to keep ants off of the corn. I am going to put mineral oil on the stalks of my okra, and tomatoes and squash to see if that works to keep bugs away. The farmer has always put mineral oil on his corn.
Shishito peppers over here--- are known to be sweet if watered--but if it's later in season, or hitting a dry season, they are spicy! We also say shishito has some 'winners'--which are the spicy ones...
Good morning. Thanks for showing us, I don't like hot peppers. Hope all have a great week
