Try growing marigolds with your tomato plants. Companion plants help alot.

That overwintered plant is gorgeous, love all the woody stems and branches, looks like a tree 😆

Thank you! It's pretty amazing to see. Considering it's this productive at 3.5 years, I have little doubt it can to 5-7 years as a happy, healthy plant.

We have a mushroom farm about 20 minute from where we live, they dispose of a lot of mushroom compost and twice a year i will fill the bed of my truck with their compost they give away for free, Tomatoes and Peppers grow like mad in this compost and best part, its free

man, I am so impressed by you. You prolly have a full time job, you make videos, educate yourself deeply, flourishing garden, pursue and finish various projects, take care of your dog, AND have time to work out AND cook at home. your output is 3X mine I'm ashamed to admit.

i live in ottawa. I am doing container peppers too :) good luck this year.

I'm in Houston and use grow bags for almost everything right now. I have had horrible luck with the black bags becoming mini ovens, but tan bags are available in most sizes. They cost a few cents more each but it isn't a large amount. The tan ones are much, much better in terms of not drawing in so much heat and my water needs have been very reasonable.

Good tip! I'm in Houston also. Someone gave me a couple of grow bags and I've been wondering what to plant in them since I grow most things in the ground. We just got a green house for our ornamental plants. I might spray paint the exterior of my grow bags and try peppers in them.

In Houston too and use black grow bags for some things. I think you are right .the color does make a difference

These are great tips. The only thing I didn't know about was the fertilizer. My most high yielding pepper plants are in 3 gallon pots but some are smaller but still grow fruit. As a first time gardener I am most proud of these guys.

Poor Dale. Pretty boy. You're doing the best thing for him. Let him shelter in place and tell him he's a good boy.

I wouldn't fertilize them quite as much. Last year, I followed your tips and found that I got lots of leaves but fewer fruit on my peppers in grow bags. This year, I'm adding granular fert about once in _6 weeks,_ and liquid fert about monthly. Stockier plants, greater yield.

I only fertilize when the very top of the plant (new growth) is turning a lighter shade of green. Then I know it's time to hit more nutes.

I learned the hard way that topping puts your peppers back a month or two. I do remove the bottom leaves, they tend to grow upwards after I do. Btw, there's videos on KZread of fireworks for dogs to get them adjusted to it and there's Thunderstorm videos. I did that with my dog and she would sleep through thunderstorms and fireworks. I did the same thing with babies crying and she had no reactions to loud baby crying either.

Come on people, this man has the most relatable, clear, concise, teaching video for anyone who needs help in "How To" grow your container garden to the best of its ability. This man is genius and a master gardener.

I think overwintering in grow bags has greatly improved my yields. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

The Millennial Gardener I just found you and LOVE you! I was a young child in elementary school Garden Club and now retired and getting back to it! I've watched a lot of videos but you have been the one I am able to understand the best. You are very thorough and have been SO very helpful. Just watched your pepper & tomatoes vids. Learned a lot and ran right outside to prune the tomatoe. ALMOST was going to prune the pepper plant but decided not to after listening to your reasons no need to. I also made a list of fertilizer products I def need. Again - thank you! SO glad I found you! And I told my daughter in law to check you out as she is just getting into gardening. Bye for now from Northern Michigan

You and James Prigioni are my favs. Peppers, Tomatoes and green beans are my major crops. Then salad garden and herbs. I use Greenstalks for all except my tomatoes.

I found myself using about 8 gallons of water for all my pepper and other vegetable plants, so I switched to a hose-end sprayer to apply the solution. Its much easier. Here in west central Florida, with the extra heat, I water 3 times a week on an automated water system and then once a week, I apply the fertilizer solution over the bone meal and granular fertilizer, but I have to be careful with too much fertilizer due to the heat, so I usually prep the plants in good soil with bone meal added, then just use the liquid application every two weeks. My over-wintered peppers usually produce in Spring, then the newer plants come on, so it's like succession sowing.

I love my pepper plants in containers. My dog hates thunderstorms and fireworks. aww Dale.

Hey... long time lurker first time commenting... I live in a side by side duplex with very little yard, and what yard I have is very shaded by big trees. We've been growing in grow bags and containers for a couple years now, placing them in the areas that get the most sun, like our driveway. This is the first year we've tried peppers and they are doing AMAZING! We live in Nova Scotia, Canada and have been having torrential rain followed by scortching sun, so those in ground gardens of my neighbours are not faring as well as our container/grow bag garden. Thanks so much for all your information, I've learned so much that I've put into practice from watching your channel. I appreciate your knowledge. :)

OMG 😱 your pepper plants are huge 😊 so I definitely will take your advice and appreciate it so very much! Thank you Thank you !!!!!

You can get dale something called a "thunder vest or lighting vest" I forget which one it's called but you put it on your pup when it's gonna storm and it's comforting to the dog. My daughter had to dog sit a friend's dog for a couple weeks that got really scared during storms, she would tear up her crate and bust out. The dog was a pittie that was terrified of storms. I told her to get this vest for the dog and it worked. She would sleep right through the storm or just lay down . The owner was so happy I figured out what to do about the nervous energy the dog got during storms because she had once had to replace a bathroom door the dog chewed through while she was out running errands. Also I think it has something to do with the electricity in the air or the barometric pressure dropping.

Good tips on the frequency of fertilizer. I might be under doing it

Great video, I'm going Serrano chili's right now in 3 gallon nursery containers. Thanks man

Fantastic down to earth video on growing pepper plants in containers. Answered all my questions!

I'm a new subscriber and have found your tips and tricks to be very helpful. I am growing just a tomato plant in a pot(3 Gal) and basically was just watering it with an initial fertilizer. It was definitely riding the struggle bus. Watched your video on tomatoes, trimmed them up, tapped the flowers, added more fertilizer and wha la. It shot up and is now producing fruit and more fruit starting to show. Thank you! Think I want to do peppers and cucumbers now as well 😀

Thanks for all your HELPFUL Pro Tips. I am in zone 9B (Las Vegas) and my pepper plants are doing just fine in our crazy triple digits temps. I have lost a few other plants but I'm not worried because I will just get my amended soil ready for my Fall planting. I had a 40lbs bag of potting soil leftover from my planting this season. I have two peppers in 7 gallon grow bags and they are loving it. I have a few 3 gallon bags also so, I might plant more peppers in those. I love your channel and you NEVER disappoint with the helpful "Pro Tips" Be Blessed and Enjoy your Sunday. I'm Ms J from Las Vegas!

You could also put them in a garage if temps get too low. As long as they're above freezing, they stay outside on the patio.

1:07, I definitely had fun watering my bell peppers twice a day during the summer last year. Even watering them a lot in the morning just wasn't enough to keep their leaves from drooping later on in the afternoon. I just heard you mentioning the pepper plants are perennials; I realized that when my three peppers were still producing into January until I had a light freeze that destroyed them. They would otherwise still be alive right now.

❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing.❤❤❤

Great video! Very informative!

Thank you so much ur video was so helpful ❤

Love your videos. You are doing great job

It's been a strange year, for western PA and much of the north east, thanks to the wildfires in Canada. We spent much of June and early July with air quality warnings and a persistent haze. On the down side, many of my "hot weather plants" have been slow growing, but on the plus side, my "cold weather crops" are still going strong. I'd been giving my containered peppers the water soluble fertilizer, but hadn't thought about the solids. I'll start doing that more frequently.

Very timely video. I am having really good production from my pepper plants this year but your video has reminded me that I need to feed them. Thanks. 😎

I had a friend whose dog was terribly afraid of the sounds from 4th of July. His vet gave him doggy valium. Two days preceding, the day of, and the day after. It helped him a lot.

In New Mexico and I ended up having to out up a shade for my babies during the summer. They looked rough and the summer sun gets intense. Just got some grow bags and cant wait to see how they do. Will definitely fertilize more too. Thanks!

Thank you for that information because I thought my pepper plants stop growing doing the winter. Now I know. Right now I'm just waiting for my new seeds to come in. Thanks again again

Thanks for the video. Went out and fertilized my pepper plants after watching this.

Could you do a video about transplanting older potted pepper plants and do you do root trimming? Thanks again!

Thanks for this! I'm growing in my balcony and have introduced gardening to my friends too and we are learning! Would be interested to know more about container growing and tips

I like your videos, I grow my bell peppers in 6gal containers and fertilize with fish emulsion once a week. They do great every year, I have 8 plants total and I picked over 20 this past Saturday.

Thank you Anthony, very helpful advice as l am currently growing indoor Cayenne and Carolina Reapers for the first time.

I have banana peppers and bell peppers three years old as well. I’ve been overwintering for years.

My Lab/Husky mix dog hated thunderstorms and fireworks. He would never be at ease until I found by putting him in a bathroom with no windows in the middle of the house, turn on the exhaust fan, put in a radio then turn the light off and close the door and all was fine when the storms were gone or the fireworks were over. Afterwards he would come out, wag his tail, follow me around the house and outside to go to the bathroom and every now and then he would get a treat if he wanted one. The storms and fireworks have a high pitched sound most dogs hear and get upset about. Drown out the sound and all is good.

👍👍 ❤for our special Dale

Awesome information. Love your style of delivery! Just started to garden this year. I put 3 chili pepper plants in 2G containers. They haven't been growing as much as I'd hope. I think I made the container mix TOO DENSE. The water gets logged in even though the drainage is OKAY but I think they'd prefer something airy. I also cut off two lower branches to propagate and they're not doing so hot. I think I should have left them on the main plant! My tomatoes are doing fair however! I will learn for next year. Thank you for the videos!

Peppers do fantastically well in containers. I'm guessing the stress of the container forces fruiting. I'm growing a cherry pepper in a pot that's 4 years old. It fruits for me all winter long.

I agree with you that peppers are perennial ,I planted my peppers in containers they are still alive and they gave me fruits every year. Thank you , I love the way you do your video very informative and very detailed.

You can also grow them under grow lights in the winter, indoors. I lower the Nitrogen fertilizer once they start flowering and increase the Phosphorus. I've had mine for over 3 years and every two years, in the spring, I change out the soil and trim the roots. They seem to love it.
