This garden update was so entertaining to watch! I can't wait to see the sauce videos you make from some of these delicious peppers.

[@DickeyTT]

Just love how excited you are about your chillies, saying that you have got the most amazing plants and harvest, I think I would get excited as well. Looking forward to seeing the sauce videos that are coming out soon.

[@dmw282]

I love the new digs, very happy to see what you have going on.

[@nitramdmij]

Your chili production is so much better this year! Thanks for the update! I don't have any sugar rush stripey's growing this year but I have sugar rush peach and they are my most productive plants along with my cayenne's. I have actually combined the two (SRP and Cayenne) in a couple of fermentation experiments and am eager to try them out in a month or so. Stay spicy, Shaun!

[@MotoChili]

Last year I grew 3 super hot plants using your soil mix and had a good season. This year I decided to grow 50 plants, they are all outside scattered throughout the front and backyard in grow bags, 7 different pepper varieties. It's a lot of work but I'm having fun. I have used a good amount of info from your channel to apply to both growing chili peppers and making fermented sauces. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos you do, and congrats on all of your plants this year.

[@andyhemus2964]

Always a pleasure to watch and take inspiration. Just starting to plant my seed for the upcoming season (I'm in New Zealand). Don't have as many verities to choose from, but still great fun. This Year I'm taking over the Vegi-pod to grow a crop in, will be interesting to see how they get on.

Regarding Trinidad Perfume, I like them in salads, what I find is that the sweetness and heat increases (from zero to noticeable) especially at the seasons end, also what I have noticed is the various strains I have harvested this year seem a tad Hotter than previous years, also production.

[@chrispyg5879]

They are really tasty!

[@tonyperez1510]

That looks amazing. I'm in south Florida and the whiteflies here are just relentless. No way I can have a pepper garden like that

Grow some African Marigolds. They attract hoverflies, which will absolutely annihilate the whitefly, aphids and other pests. It's why I have them dotted around my greenhouses and outdoors.

[@tonyperez1510]

Thx for the reply. I didn't know about that and as far as I know, no remedy is good for those pests. Will try it.

I have 2 Trinidad perfume plants grown from seed there is little green pods but I don't think they will be ripe by the end of the growing season here in Ireland .can you tell me how they taste as I have never tasted them. Any tips greatly appreciated 🙏

[@lesalbjerg5648]

@@markirish7599 They are very fruity. Mine are looking good and should be ready to harvest in about 2 weeks. There is a hint of heat when you first bite it raw and then a nice lime-lemon fruity taste. I live in the high desert of Idaho, USA so ripening isn't a problem. I'm planning on growing more next year so I can possibly share.

It hit 38-40C here in the southern US so much in the Spring that my chilis are very behind. They dropped flowers constantly and are just now starting to set fruit. Hopefully the first frost will be very late and I can get a few harvests before then.

[@dubcindub15]

Great results so far, good to see your efforts are literally bearing fruit! Check your seed collection for Blue Christmas by Fataali, it's very similar to the Chinese 5 colour with purple tinged leaves, purple flowers, and a huge amount of orange to purple kinda hot fruits. It's the one people always say "OOH what's that?" when they're looking around my place. It branches a lot so it could be a good candidate for a nice lil bonchi too.

[@stephenstreet1045]

First year grower here. What's a bonchi? If it's a smaller (bonchi/bonzai?), bushier plant as I'm guessing then this is something I'd love to know more about. I have around 10 plants in my conservatory at the moment and they are over running the place. They are mostly really tall and slender. I could really do with have things along more compact. I have seen plants on sale at chilli festivals which kind of looked like a bonzai chilli plant. Any advice you can give?

[@amyahdocq8835]

Thank you for your video, your peppers are just breathtaking❣ I have a passion for hot chillies too but this year, I am sooo frustrated. I moved here 3 years ago and the time to repair/renovate/whatever else my new abode, I didn't have gardens these last 2 years but this year, I made raised beds and put a greenhouse (not like yours that I drool for but, it is a greenhouse nevertheless😊). Maybe you could guide me to what could have happened. I ordered new high quality soil (which have compost and all the goodies in it) to put in my raised beds and pots ($$$$$$$$$$ for my small pension😱) then transplanted my seedlings (started my seedlings around the 20th of February) and... nothing grows really. I have, in my greenhouse, about 80 chillies plants, many of them are still the same size as when I planted them in May , meaning 2-4cm and my tallest one (including cayenne) are 22-24cm on a tiny stem. Even my Espelette are still very small, towering a huge 9cm, and I have absolutely no fruits on them, not even one to save the seeds. I put nothing on the dirt as I was told it was a rich soil that would not need fertilizer for a year or two... true? Hmmmm! Would like to know if they could be"saved" and hibernized for next spring? Or is is better to start fresh? Do you have a video on how to hibernize a chilli plant for the next year? I heard it is faisable but... how? Even my cukes are still 5-6cm tall and no fruits even though they were planted in the soil in May also. My squashes (zucchinis, scalopinni pâtissons) as well as my watermelons are still very very small and the fruits grows anyway a little bit (happiness) then become yellow and fell (desssssparation & tears). When you count on your garden for a part of your winter stash, it is extremely frustrating and discouraging. I need some advice for the next season to rectify the situation... please... would you know (or one of your subscribers) what it could be? Thank you and I LOVE your videos 🌹

[@ChilliChump]

Hello Amyah. Sorry to hear your season hasn't been going well. What have your temperatures been like?

[@amyahdocq8835]

@@ChilliChump Pretty crazy... the nights were cold up to mid-July, sometime going down to 5°C 😳 as for the days, we had rain as the climate on Vancouver Island is similar to England but we also had sun and again, it was not very hot with an average max of 12-14°C. I know that it surely affected-delayed the growth of the plants but now, since mid-July it is very hot and some of my tomatoes finally starting to grow and give flowers in mid-August, my lettuce just starting to look like a lettuce, the rest like cukes are still very tiny, my green onions planted in May and June are just few tiny-tiny-tiny spears of a green something, so little that you really need to pay attention to see them and radishes are making flowers but without a radish in the dirt. My chillies are in the greenhouse and they are so little and tiny that yours made me cry of envy 😊 OK, on a serious side, it was always very warm in my greenhouse so the chillies should have been growing... maybe not like your beauties but nevertheless, beyond the seedling size they are now. I would send you a photo you would not believe it. Oh! And some of them (mostly the sweet chillies) start to die from the top down, just becoming brown and like... petrified. They have their water and I check the soil everyday to see if they need water that day as it seems that this soil keep the moisture. I know, as my neighbours & farmers at the farmer market, had problems too because of the ugly spring we had, that I am not the only one around here to have problems but now their gardens just bursted with greens and veggies... but mine... besides some of my tomatoes (not all of them), it is far from to be exciting 😔 So I wonder why!

[@ChilliChump]

You can send some photos through my website if you get in touch. chillichump.com/contact Chillies like to have warm roots...and also don't like a lot of water! The roots need to dry in-between watering. My soil recipe that I have shared on my channel is ideal...allows the soil to drain well between watering. Send over the photos, I will have a look!

[@sbultitude-paull303]

Thanks for the video - those stripey chillies look interesting! Had a question about an idea for a future video - just wondering if it'd be possible to show a method how you could guesstimate the scoville number of sauces/chillies made or grown at home. Obviously the only real way to tell this would be to buy an expensive bit of testing equipment, but it'd be interesting to see if there's a quick method for a rough test at home for the average person?

[@ChilliChump]

Actually the original scoville test wasn't done with fancy equipment. Scoville is the measure of dilution of chillies (extract using alcohol) in sugar water until you can no longer detect the pungency. So 10,000 scoville would mean 1 part chilli in 10,000 parts sugar water.

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

New to the channel so if this old news, just ignore it. If you see the " black specs" on the shoulder of your chili's, don't throw them out. They are the sign of a benign bacterial infection that actually produces a potent anti-oxidant that is purple in color. This info came from the University of New Mexico's chili research center and I found in the magazine Chilu Pepper which may be no longer in print. It is a big help when shopping commercially as many will leave behind thinking they are bad.

[@ChilliChump]

Some varieties will do better in conditions like that than others. But the good news is as long as you are able to develop a strong root system early on, and water well once they are mature...you should get some great results. Just need to optimise the strategy to accommodate the climate. And shading in the early days is definitely recommended. Once the plants are more mature and have a healthy root system...then they should be able to deal with full sunshine.

Not sure what you do that you already have so many ripe chillies :) My Hainan Yellow Lanters are few weeks or maybe more that a month till they start to ripen. Other peppers look similar, only Piri Piri ripening normally. Maybe, contrary to your situation, very cold July has caused this delay.

I don't know if you've mentioned it but why do you have mesh bags on some of your plants? Can't wait to order seeds from your store!

@@ChilliChump Thank you! Also, do you send orders to South Africa? I hope you sell some Scotch bonnet seeds. I find the habanero a little bitter at the end sometimes... Would love to try a new pepper😀😀

[@ChilliChump]

Yes, I ship globally. There can be some challenges receiving them because of certain restrictions...but the way I send them, there is a high success rate

[@microheavy21]

Amazing set up. Have to ask - why pots instead of beds or just the ground ?

[@ChilliChump]

I have more control with my automation. Less water and nutrient usage, and better yields.

[@microheavy21]

@@ChilliChump Must try that myself. Have had mixed results here in Dublin , raised beds in a polytunnel. Too much water and not enough sun I think. Some chillies with no heat and then Jalapenos that would be insanely hot. Great channel, thanks for all the great info

[@mark1981]

Can you go into why you're not into the taste of scotch bonnets. Those and habaneros are some of my favorite for flavor. I guess to each his own, but find myself curious with your great collection and experience.

[@ChilliChump]

Actually spoke about this on a recent monthly livestream. There are a couple West Indian style hot sauces i have had which I REALLY don't like...they were scotch bonnet based and the flavour really put me off scotch bonnets. I am working on a few SB recipes to change this....so we will see

[@dragonguise]

With the volume of peppers you produce, you must have some cool machinery to help with production. Do you have an industrial crusher for making flakes? Maybe a large capacity dehydrator? I just have a garden of 60 plants, but making powder is getting to be too much for a standard coffee grinder. Any suggestions.

Blossom end rot is caused by Calcium deficiency - use Gypsum to correct.

My 14 yo daughter eats 4-6 raw jalapeños every day. I eat several, also as well as a few serranos.

[@ChilliChump]

Your family certainly enjoys the spice!

I want the Big black mama and the Chinese one

[@alch3myau]

Those beavers look like they would be better for stuffing than jalapeno? May have to invest in some

Hello and Happy New Year Mr. CC. I've a question for you. I have two orange Habenero plants in my greenhouse that just blew up this season, got about eight feet tall. Was worriedvthe fruit would not be that good, trimmed early on and was very surprised with the outcome. But I'm not sure how far to take it down. Still producing lower on the plant though. Just wondering if you havecany suggestions. Thanks a ton Squire CC.

Would just mixing and mashing ALL my peppers together from regular bell, Carolinas, salsa peppers etc... we have about 6 differant types?

Need some help, I went away for a week and the weather got crazy over here so some of my plants got zapped and have since lost leaves. What is the best way to get them to recover, carry on as normal, or shift my fertilizer to more nitrogen heavy for a few weeks to encourage new leaves?

[@ChilliChump]

Definitely don't add fertiliser. If you really want to, you can add some very diluted seaweed feed. But otherwise, give them a proper watering and continue as usual. If you are expecting more strong sunshine, then you could shade them for part of the day.
