Maybe it is a generational thing but your data led recommendations is the best. I enjoy all the gardeners who post videos. However, I enjoy the clear way you provide directions and recommendations and always backed with experience and data. It’s a lot of work, so thank you for your efforts. It’s appreciated.

@The Millennial Gardener I was just going to write the same sentiment as Shweta. You are so clear, concise, and meticulous even down to the way we need to pick the pepper. I'm first time gardening and doing it in containers in case I've got to move veggies around so I get the hang of what plant likes what location. Thank you so much for your hard work to educate us. I must say you've got to have the toughest knees as you're always bent down teaching us right from wrong. You should use an affiliate link for knee pads. Trust me, I'm 66 and you'll regret it if you don't go more easy on yourself 😉 Dale is a gem, would like to see more of him outside in the garden.... if he behaves and doesn't go hog wild playing in the plants!

Bloom booster is amazing, helps my fruit trees flower after weeks of no progress

New gardener here and I really like how you explained NPK that really helps alot thank you.

in central south TX, I will leave peppers outside , just cover them if it gets below freezing. I have a couple pepper plants that are at least 5 years old . Sometimes they die back a bit but always bounce back . Great videos !

I had no idea that your plants can be revived to give you more fruit after the first picking. Great video! I’ll be doing this in 2024.

Such a well-planned, well- organized presentation. Very helpful advice for our first year growing peppers in NC. Thank you!

Pepper plants are also beautiful, especially when covered in blossoms. Their origin as a New World tropical plant is obvious when you see their exotic-looking flowers.

I have pepper plants that are 4 years old. I live in Texas so it's easy to keep them going here. This was great information - I planted late this year and am having some trouble getting everything fully grown. Then I need to bloom boost like crazy!

Thank you for the information and effort you put into this. I'm an AVID gardener and have had a garden for years but always learning more about doing it better. Great information!

Thanks for clearly articulating this process. I'm making this cocktail today.

I'm always so impressed with your advice! You can bet I'll be doing this. Thanks for another great video!!

Thanks for the tips. I've used Miracle Grow for tomatoes, but I didn't have a regimen like you suggest. Or, the fish fertilizer. I will try it on all the Solanaceae family plants.

I am glad I ran across your older video on peppers. I never seem to do real well with my peppers. Thank you for putting this information out. My husband and I traveled to the southeast coast of NC in May of this year. Beautiful part of the USA. I was surprised to see how flat it was as we had only been to the Blue Ridge area. I even got to see one of your big black bears out by the roadside as we were driving between Nebraska, NC and Washington, NC. We spent time at the outer banks and four days at a wonderful NC state park. Hope we can make it back to NC again!

Thanks for the detailed education in your videos.

Thank you! I need to do this! I am not good at growing peppers especially the bell peppers. Hope to have a good harvest this year. ❤️🙏

Thank you! I'm actually near Wilmington, NC! Hey, neighbor! I was so proud that I had some sweet bell pepper plants overwinter and they're bearing fruit. However, I've been complacent with my fertilizer! I'm going right now and do it! They'll be so happy!

2:04 You're getting warmer! I started out trying to manipulate npk ratios, thinking at first the tired old myth of "higher N earlier and lower N later" then went into "less N all the time and more P K throughout" and finally, after fighting capsicum for 20+ years. I've learned the long hard lesson. Balanced NPK values with increasing dosage as more biomass is produced. That's the capsicum sweet spot.

Good job simple and informative steady rhythm, relevant and well explained. No extraneous content

Being down in the southeasternmost corner of the state, we have the biggest problems with heat, rainfall, humidity, pests and disease in the state, so if I can do it here, I'm sure you can flourish with this routine. If you're struggling, it is probably due to lack of fertilizing. Peppers are pretty heavy feeders, and giving them a drink of a soluble feed every 10-14 days or so really helps them.

I actually just applied my 1st dose of the alaska-juice. Looking forward to hitting it again in a week. Easy to follow directions for those of us who really suck at gardening

Hey there, Carolina Brother! I have a question and a suggestion. Q: How big do you let your plants get before you stop pinching off the buds and let the fruits grow? Suggestion: Southern States' own brand of fertilizers come in 50# bags and are relatively cheap compared to name brands. They were only $10 a bag prior to this massive inflation. They are in prills though, so a little slower release, but definitely an amazing bang for the buck.

looking forward to trying this

I like this. and peppers have been one of the easiest beginner plants I grew. Now inspired to try it again. There actually might be some out in my jungle garden, I'll just have to go find them. either way I have seeds of my previous harvests.

Great presentation. Thanks!

A pepper plant in a climate with low pest and disease pressure that does not see frost and freeze can live many years. My cherry pepper in a pot is going on its 3rd season and is flowering profusely. 5+ years is not out of the question.

@@harmonyandpeacetranquility7851 Wow, not at all. You should have room between the plants for wind to go through and attract predators & pollinators with eg marigolds or other flowers or herbs. And in order to strengthen your plant, use a "soup" (uncooked) made from stinging nettle or common horsetail (="Equisetum arvense"): Put the plants in a bucket in a 1 to 10 mixture with water. Stir every day for 1-2weeks. Be advised that this stinks very badly while it ferments. Then use in a 1 to 10 dilution in watering your plants (again, I use my oldest watering can). This acts as fertilizer and strengthens your vegetable plants against a wide variety of pests. This organic method (while stinky) is not harmful and can be done shortly before harvest, though it should be done early enough in the season to affect the growth of your fruits.

I'm amazed at the way your peppers regenerated! 🤩 I'm gonna try that. Maybe the cold will hold off long enough, but my first crop hasn't ripened yet. I'm pretty excited about it. All the plants are covered with peppers in various stages; none red yet. This is my first real garden. It's like absolute magic.❤️ Just incredible.

@TheMillennialGardener

I've been using this method for a few years now, and it really does work wonders. Every year, it gets easier and easier as you get used to doing it. Where I live, it's oppressively hot for a very long time (a solid 3 months of 90+ degree days nonstop), so peppers do very well. It sounds like you're pretty close to ripening your crop.

Great tips, thanks for sharing

You have my attention after saying they're heavy feeders. Granny always warned me of how easy peppers burn up from fertilizer. A few years back I used for manure in the holes I planted them in. I buffered it real good with soil and they grew to my chest. The next year I stunted them trying to do the same thing over again.

very beautiful pepper plants, I have never seen such big and rich pepper plants.

About $15 worth of seed can plant multiple beds of peppers for years. Most varieties are only around $2 a pack, so you can grow 10 different varieties and have seeds for years. That whole bed probably cost something like $1-2's worth of seed to plant - seriously. They're very heavy feeders though, so if fruit production is limited, feed them some blossom booster.
