Thanks Kim, I think this series of linked videos is first class. Fantastic how you have indexed everything.

[@janicevstein6391]

I like that you repurpose materials for future projects. I do also. I keep a stockpile of wood and stuff for you can always use these some kind of way 😊

[@CaliKim29]

Ahh, great idea, Janice! CameraGuy does that for us, too! Our deck project is the perfect example. We are able to repurpose a lot of the material! GREAT idea, Thanks, Janice. CaliKim

[@jimbyrnes7280]

Thanks Kim. This is my first year growing vegetables here in NJ and have found your videos to be very helpful. Even though the weather is different than your area, it is great to see how to grow in small spaces and containers.

[@agroabdisudugey9822]

Hi all of You, Congrats, We are happy to see the video about planting pepper, onions and etc, and we are appreciating you, thanks.

[@abigailcarriker3102]

This is the best and most simple explanation of grow lights. Thank you!

[@caldreamin09]

I used an old water bed heater. You put the heat probe inside the tray and set it about 80 deg. Works everytime.

[@edithfejeran6429]

Love the compiled videos for plants you are growing...makes it easier for seniors who want to putter in the garden..Thanks so much..

[@helenlornafitzgerald2913]

Very delightful video on growing and harvesting an amazing variety of peppers! Very informative and inspiring! Also the recipe looks scrumptious! Enough to get the tastebuds working and chillies lovers salivating! Thanx very much!

[@message3381]

Lady, I love you ☺️. I’ve followed your channel for years and your vids are informative and have given my green thumb a definite boost. This year I will be growing peppers for the first time (Aji Pinnaple and Murasaki Purple from Baker Creek 🙌🏾). Wish me lick and thank you so much again 🙌🏾🙏🏾☺️🌹

[@aureliabrekke2620]

I love watching you every day

[@jenelleemory9624]

Thanks Kim! I have enjoyed binge watching your videos, they've been extremely helpful thank you!

[@janicejurgensen2122]

Fantastic tutorial! Thank you I now feel confident to grow indoors.

[@MichelleHernandezcraftymaven]

Thank you SO MUCH for this series- I just learned 3 things I was wondering about- the grow light thing was a huge problem for me- lots of leggy plants for my first try. Second try currently under works. Last year I planted my peppers too close to my tomatoes and they were completely in shadow- I had not idea that was the right thing to do. I may try it again this year.

[@kosovaethnicalbania3854]

I love these long format videos Kim. I am looking forward to seeing squash and other plants long format too!

Beginner from Norman OK. Found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Ordered your book. I'm fired up! Thanks for all the help!

[@ferkelandstier9406]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I live in the Philippines, and growing peppers will be compatible here.

[@flowerpixel]

Great video! It's my first year gardening and I got in an argument with my dad about leaving my bell peppers out when it's in the 50s at night. Definitely not doing it now 🌶️

[@AsimGarden]

Dear CaliKim's great information and tips I am from Asia Pakistan my Green Peppers now-a-days on full of white flowers.

[@BenjasUberHobby]

That pepper jelly is making my mouth water :) Thanks! :) Thanks for sharing :)

[@lesterwehyee97]

I am a gardener from From Liberia, west Africa growing pepers and other vegetables, your video and guide is great

[@patricialee8178]

It made the grow light box. It works great. Seedlings look great. I did burn a couple of the leaves when the seedling grew tall enough to touch the light.

[@TheBaseCam]

Greato Kim! I love to blend peppers with vinegar and salt and a little water until a smooth sauce, excellent as chilli substitute, after your amazing work out, I will try to copy and I'll get a bumper crop to make my sauce entirely from my garden 😉

[@JuxstLer]

I love that you are a MIgardener fan. You & him are top on my list of resources.

[@jffrywad]

Thabks for video..the inch spacing is key i made mistake of having mine to high thinking i would burn plants and got leggy seedlings.

[@jimmiller3838]

I actually had a tomato plant here in Phoenix I did this with and it grew back out and produced more tomatoes the second time around! Amazing. Will be doing this with the peppers this year to see how it goes, our weather is similar but some years we get very little freeze so we grow different varieties of vegetables year round.

[@bradhembree2310]

I liked, subscribed, and saved this. I have spent to much time looking for bits and pieces of this info. :) Growing hot pepper this far north takes a little finesse. :)

Impressive Kim! You rock peppers. It’s Pepper Mania!

[@crazymanbbqcompany1592]

I just found your Channel and I'm impressed with your Channel ..

[@marcialittle7893]

I prefer the plastic cups, for seed starting, because I reuse them year after year, the foam cups are worse for the environment and only get one use before they break and have to be tossed in the garbage.

[@glenndavie5430]

Hi Kim. I'm in 5B suburban Chicago. I've been bringing in potted Bell Peppers in the winter for 3 years now. I cut back the plant to about 12" tall and keep it watered and stored in a lit basement. I have 1-3 large peppers grown indoors on 2 potted plants. Mid May I'll be able to move outside on the west facing deck. Fun to have fresh peppers during the cold weather!

[@paulsun5067]

You're amazing!! Loads of knowledge. Love from West Africa, Ghana.

[@duke2011ful]

I wish those little peat pellets worked for me, but I didn’t have any luck with them. Thanks for the video, Kim!

[@ryleeblack]

Thanks for a complete grow guide video! Convenient to watch :)

[@czrexperiments5440]

Nice work, Kim! We have a bunch of peppers planted in Northern California and the pepper jelly sounds really interesting. Have to try it! 🌶

Great down to earth tips for growing plants.

[@tattookinglynch2518]

great explanation about the lights ....ty very much

[@mkhan78627]

LOL! I have been using straw to remove air out of plastic bags zipped or otherwise for 40 plus years. A friend saw me do it and made a comment "You are too damn cheap to buy a sealer" I do have a sealer though. You are one smart cookie. Love your garden and the show.

[@joesoutdoorplaces]

One of your earlier videos piqued my interest in the California Wonder sweet pepper. I have several almost ready. I have many new varieties I am trying this year, one interesting one being Rezha Macedonian. It has an unusual corked skin and is in the same heat range as a Jalapeño. I may be pushing my peppers because I have a few already planted in zone 8a. I will be ok because I grew three batches of plants sown a few weeks apart because spring caught me early last year. I could have planted a month earlier than my usual time around Easter. I love the longer format videos. I rewatch my favorites often. Television these days is devoid of interesting programs. Thanks to you, Gary Pilarchik, and Patrick Dolan, I have an almost limitless supply of entertaining and informative videos to watch. Many thanks.

[@CaliKim29]

Hi Joe - love hearing about the different varieties you are growing - the CA wonder is amazing - you'll love it! I also grew the Rezha Macedonian last summer - loved the unusual look. I don't think I had it in the right spot - it wasn't super productive, but since you had such great results, I'll definitely try again! So glad you are enjoying the gardening content, Gary and Patrick both have amazing videos. Much more to come this spring and summer. Thanks for watching!

You can get creative with the clamp light by using a clear container and marbles, small decorative rocks that can fit through the top, or colored aquarium gravel. You can even make a little bottle garden in a large clear container.

IDK about "over Wintering" but I dig up my pepper plants about a couple weeks before the first fall frost & put them in their own 12" pot with a tiny bit of fertilizer, bring them inside & just put them near or in my South facing window & they KEEP PRODUCING PEPPERS ALL YEAR LONG!!! I kept 2-3 plants year round for 3.5years till I accidently let them get too cold one year!

[@rickj627]

Hi Kim : ) I've always appreciated the links in your comment section and I am also very grateful for the indexing you have added lately. Thank You, as always!

You could use white mosquito netting/tulle, to put over the p,ant to keep the bugs, caterpillars, aphids, birds, squirrels, etc.out. My favorites are the Italian frying peppers. (Cubanelle)

[@jwill1027]

Wow so informative. Thank you so much for breaking down why you do what you do while gardening. Until I found you, I haven’t heard anyone talk about the “why” so I’m never able to make it through an entire video of this length but you totally had me from the start. Thanks!

[@melissakingery4393]

Your pepper jelly looks great!

[@ramonamacabugao1967]

Thanks for great info Kim. Your garden is beautiful and neat. I love peppers too. One thing I don't approve is the use of styrofoam products in planting or anything only because it doesn't compost and harsh to the environment. Continue to do more videos , your channel is one of the places I go for advices and info in gardening. Stay pretty !

VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO KIM, THANKS

[@lipstickspeedball]

For Germination, Try using Warm Water for first watering in the bottom of your big tray. Seep the Warm water from underneath in the pan that you put your tray into. Poor warm water in the tray that you will put your newly planted Seed Tray into, Ounce warm water is in and you lay your Seed tray on top of the warm water. Let the warm water soak in through the bottom until very moist and just let it grow from there. The warm water will Germinate the seeds without putting electrical heating pad, near any water. could be scary water is an excellent conductor. Means if water is touching the pad and the puddle of water could be big enough to arch you to the plug. I would hate anything to happen to you. Your so good at growing.

[@lipstickspeedball]

I see why your trying to keep it as dry as possible. with Heating Pad. Instead of A tray of Warm Water, Because you are Growing in your Dinning Room. But you still need to water. So a tray of Warm Water is more Practical for Germinating. Cost of a Heating Pad compared to just Warm Water.

[@chariprice]

Well darn, I already have a million sweet pepper seedlings and only a couple jalapeno seedlings! I need some more hot peppers to make that jelly! That is my favorite appetizer to make at Christmas (store bought jelly, which isn't cheap!). I need to make a batch this year!
