    As long as the plants are still small, and not root bound, feel free to grab one that has been overseeded and not thinned. I find you can easily tease apart the roots on peppers and get many plants for the price of one.

    I was a slow starter this year, so I added some nursery Habaneros to this years collection.

    I had a lot of seeds to start a big crop this year but due to family issues I was unable to start them. I finally bought several plants from a few different stores in the past week - sweet banana, hot banana, green bell, red bell, jalapeno, habanero. Also have tomatoes in - early girls, cherry, roma - and some butternut and zucchini. We'll see how the store bought garden does this year. Cheers.

    Good insights coupled with connecting visuals. Smooth editing and transitions too. I've gravitated towards larger plants automatically assuming they're ready to skip steps but now I see that they've not automatically the best choice. Pests...I skipped looking for them thinking that the nursery maintained a pest free environ. I'll pay more attention now. Thank you both

    The tip about not buying seedlings with fruits or flowers was important for me. I have always let my plants, whether purchased as seedlings or my own seedlings from seed, fruit and develop flowers whenever they wanted to. This year though I am removing them until the plant is a decent size.

    I enjoy you video and the great advice on picking seedlings. I am lucky to live next to the bedding capital of the world here in CT. When i look for different variety's, I have a choice of a few local greenhouses and farms. I try to support them through the year.

    Biggest thing for me this year is checking for aphids. I had a few plants from more than 1 nursery last year that had aphids. I mostly only go to find rarer peppers though as I start everything from seed.

    These tips are really helpful! I made my peace on not being able to grow from seed. I need them to have a little bit of a fighting chance😅 . I bought a bell pepper plant (from a supermarket...I know I shouldn't...but it was $3!) and I didnt think to check for pests. Well I had a full blown whitefly infestation on my hands a week later!

      Oooof, sorry to hear that - it isn't the end of the world if you can keep the plants outside! Hopefully you can get some good bugs to help control the whiteflies

  • @LPMaestro
    @LPMaestro Рік тому

    When you're bottom watering your peppers, how long do you usually soak them and what method do you use to remove the water when finished? I'm currently growing a cayenne plant and its doing very nicely but in 30 days i've only given it about 800ml of water since its initial repot into a 4 gallon (15 liters) pot ...thoughts?

  • @Carrie24-7
    @Carrie24-7 Рік тому +1

    I just purchased a small bell pepper plant, and didn't realize that the main stem was starting to rot right at the soil line. I think it was probably being overwatered at the store. I might try to cut the stem and root it to see if it can be saved. It's not worth making the trip back to where I got it. Lesson learned to check the plant closely!

    • @ttb1513
      @ttb1513 Рік тому +1

      I’ve had very young seedlings damp off and wilt over and die. But never plants with a couple sets of true leaves. Overwatering is a good suspicion. Live and learn. You know what to look for next time.

    Question. What about really wrinkled leaves on the top of a bell pepper plant? I have one plant that has way more wrinkley leaves up at the top near the flowers than all my other plants. It looks extremely healthy otherwise. It’s just the top leaves look like a scrotum 😅

    So I hope you have expertise to share.. I started mixed pepper seeds from ebay a little late back in March and some are 3 inches or so tall I'm hopeful for them, but my question is about the dinky ones I have that are literally months old but about an inch tall. Will my shrimpy plants produce anything before the fall weather sets in? They're acclimated and in pots. I have hot summers and 120 maybe more growing days left. Should i use some of that popular brand of blue plant food to pump them up? Thanks 🌶 🫑

    I tried doing seeds this year instead of buying from a nursery. I'm hardening them off and they are all doing fine except one them goes limp and wilts immediately in total shade even in morning shade. If anyone has a clue what's wrong it would help me a ton.

      I bought a cherry bomb last year. I thought they tasted fine, but I was not a fan of all the seeds you get. There's like a 50/50 ratio of seeds to fruit.
