[@ChilliChump]

Looking forward to 2024? Which chilli varieties are you most excited to grow? 🌶ChilliChump Seedkit chillichumpseeds.com/product/ccsk2024/ 🌶Seed Store chillichumpseeds.com/

[@ijones79]

7 pot Primo 2nd generation from source seeds finally! As long as the mail cooperates.

[@grolsch-nl]

Everything I bought from you. So exited to start the new season. I also haven't watered my plants for three weeks and they look great. Tomorrow I'll pick the most of the ripe chilli's. Party time lol

[@seangalvin7696]

I always grow Jalapeno, Serrano, and Trinidad Scorpions as they do well in our climate and I always buy something new, some grow and some don't. I do have a question my Trinidad Scorpion plant that didn't flower that well up until September and now I have more chilli's ripening now, from your experience what are hotter regular season or late season chilli's?

[@MrSBGames]

Was hoping for 7 pot primo but the seed store sold out before I could order 😅

[@ChilliChump]

More seeds incoming again!

[@simplifygardening]

Still looking awesome mate

[@ChilliChump]

Thank you sir!

[@tristinchristenson6349]

Oh the burden of abundance. You are very fortunate. ❤

[@gazellecarlson6543]

Just Recieved my seed order for next year.. Can't wait to get it v started

[@dontswitchoff607]

No wonder i cant keep up with growth, you get loke 3 months more then me lol.

[@BigBoss-dm5bn]

Hi. Are you not overwintering any of your lovely plants?

[@ChilliChump]

I will be overwintering a couple crosses that I have. But the rest will be turned into compost.

[@gazellecarlson6543]

Amazing love it

[@linaso9739]

Long growing season is compensating for a bad start, it seems. Unfortunately, tomorrow I will need to pick my last chillies from a few remaining plants since next week we will get decent cold temperatures, down to -6°C.

[@ChilliChump]

Ouch, -6. We haven't gone that low yet. The lowest we have had so far is -1.

[@linaso9739]

@@ChilliChump Actually, this morning I went to the greenhouse and found all my peppers frozen. Pods become mushy. Will try making your green sauce with them.

[@northbound6937]

Thanks for the update, Sean, we live vicariously through you! Might be cool to see a pod-picking video, I bet it's super relaxing and it's always nice to see buckets upon buckets of pods (if taping/editing that's too much work, maybe a vid showing the buckets of the whole harvest after all the picking is done). Cheers!

[@ChilliChump]

I will be doing one more big harvest of everything before I shut things down, so maybe an idea to film it!

[@patriciamay638]

I know it has taken time and a lot of effort to get where you are now but your greenhouse set up is quite lovely

[@ChilliChump]

Thank you. It certainly has been a lot of work. But it's so great to reap the reward of it!

[@alch3myau]

A lot of my plants survive winter and enjoy a prune back and come back in spring/summer (straya) .. just keep water around em ;p (Finally got fruit off my rocotta last year.. very nice flavour, heat bit intense for me until the 3rd one)

[@coalacorey]

4:58 wow, that plant looks gorgeous. The golden primotali has a beautiful colour as well!

[@joeycerelli]

I just picked a ton of peppers out of my greenhouse yesterday. Still have a bunch more to pick but i ran out of room in my basket. At this rate, i'll be picking peppers into January

[@RustamRungsung-hf4km]

When did you plant?

[@joeycerelli]

@@RustamRungsung-hf4km seeds were started 11 months ago in January 2023. We had a really weird growing year. Cold spring, cool wet early summer going into a blazing hot and dry July and August. My super hot peppers didn’t set fruit until mid-September and are still going strong in my greenhouse.

[@haydenkelliher2859]

Just starting my season this year here in new zealand looking forward to how the golden nugget variant goes

[@gardeningtroutmaster]

just started up my chili seeds from my chillichump seed kit today.. thx t wait to see the sprouting earlier than I've ever started woohoo

[@jodyhatch3862]

Living vicariously as it is well below zero degrees here. Cheers!

[@grahamguest6249]

Hi why do you put the clay balls on top of your chilli pots

[@ChilliChump]

That's my hydroponics plants. That's the substrate I use for my ebb and flood system

[@grahamguest6249]

thanks

[@tonyp9179]

I'm making a note here, huge success

[@tommollicola3740]

That’s awesome🌶️😎👏

[@russellsellers8042]

How are you preventing cross pollination for seeds? It looks like everything is mixed together and you said you were continuing growth for seeds.

[@ChilliChump]

Isolation. Once the flower sets fruit, isolation bags can be removed

[@lesleywatkins1172]

I received my seeds, they look great! Really excited to see how they get on! Do you start your plants from new seed every year? Or do you overwinter some plants?

[@ChilliChump]

I start from seed each year. I have a couple that I will overwinter, mainly some crosses I'm working on

[@davidfrana2753]

What is the plant with the varigated color leaves at 5;00?

[@ChilliChump]

It's a golden nugget. The seeds in my store are from that plant. It's stunning.

[@Matrix-o5t]

Hey mate love the vids, I’m from down under Aus 🇦🇺 so interesting that you guys are having a late end to the season, our season is opposite to yours and has only just began but we’ve been having a real slow start to the season.. I wonder if it has anything to do with your late end to the season?

[@ChilliChump]

Thank you! And yeah, it is possible that it is affecting things over your way. The weather has been a little upside down this year!

[@Rhyswithoutherspoon]

Are you going to over winter any of your plants? Or have you overwintered some in the past?

[@ChilliChump]

I have overwintered a few in the past. And will overwinter a couple this year. But I don't really like doing that. Typically the produce in the second year isn't as tasty or even as spicy.

[@AstonTheVillaFan]

I’ve still got a scotch bonnet fully outside loving it no idea how 😅

[@ChilliChump]

That's very cool. My outdoor plants were done for 2 months back when we had a few weeks of rain

[@murdog04]

Got to love it when you can still be harvesting nice ripe chili’s in the middle of November . Your place is always amazing. Just a fantastic set up. Thanks so much for sharing one last garden update for 2023. Let me know when the BMM seeds hit your store. Those are the last ones on my list for next year. Thanks again Shaun. Stay Spicy!

[@moondog7862]

Really wish you would sell some of these superhot fresh pods 😢

[@ChilliChump]

I would be happy to...but I doubt people would want to pay the price I would need to charge. I have to work out what those pods are worth to me if I was using them for my sauce business. But if you are interested, get in touch through my website chillichump.com/contact

[@MsFresh619]

All my chilli plants outside are still alive its crazy. I'm gonna try to dig up a couple and overwinter them. Your greenhouses and poly tunnel look great

[@MrSBGames]

Brought a few of my plants in for over wintering a week or so ago and they are already budding! Mainly super hots that I didn't quite get a decent harvest from (due to light issues when germinating at the start of the year)

[@kanhdahar2]

id love to have your greenhouse's, i take it your in the uk?

[@ChilliChump]

Yes, in the UK

[@TheNinjatini]

I have been fighting spider mites on my pepper plants! They ate the flowers!

[@alch3myau]

Whats that silver/white leafed one at 4:58 ??

[@ChilliChump]

That's my Golden Nugget. I have seeds in my store from this plant. It's beautiful

[@madhat127]

Thanks for another great vid. Amazing how long your plants are going on for. This has been my first year growing chilli peppers, and although I started late, I have had a good number of different varieties produce a reasonable amount. Now have some grow lights so next year I will be starting early. When would you recommend starting seeds? Thank you for all the videos throughout the year, I have learnt lots : )

[@ChilliChump]

My pleasure, I am glad you are enjoying my content! For your longer season plants (like the chinense, superhot varieties) I would get them started in January. For your other shorter season plants, February or March will do the job!

[@madhat127]

@@ChilliChump Thank you for the reply. Very helpful. I have a good number of seeds saved using your organza bag isolation idea : )

[@patrickdemarcevol]

I haven't watched all of your videos (I'm catching up!) but have you come across 'piment cabri' which is local to la Reunion (French island in the Indian ocean). It's like a miniature scotch bonnet, as powerful, and comes in all colors it's a really nice plant to grow and use the fruits. Hot hot!

[@ChilliChump]

Heya and welcome to my channel! I haven't come across that variety yet, at least not one with that name. Sounds like a fun one to grow!

[@patrickdemarcevol]

@@ChilliChump Just got a pound of them through a friend from down there, I can send some dried ones soon. Contact you through your website if you want 😀

[@slisyd]

How long to Chilli plants last? For example peri peri plants

[@ChilliChump]

They can last many years in the right climate. But if you live somewhere like we do, the frost will kill the plants.

[@noellesteegs3543]

Can't believe how well the greenhouse is looking in November! Enjoy it. Here in Grabouw 🇿🇦 pods are starting to form.

[@ChilliChump]

Wishing you a massive harvest later in the season! By the time I am starting seeds again, you should have plenty ripe pods coming through!

[@wyfyj]

I am sad that your season has come to an end for the most part. In my climate, I can grow year round. But just MUCH smaller yields. Lookin great Shaun!

[@ChilliChump]

Thank you! And it would be great to be able to grow year round...would love that.

[@Sandyman406]

Still have 3 plants left - a March mossale, bird’s eye and ring of fire. Really hoping all the fruit ripens before the final cull.

[@ChilliChump]

Fingers crossed! Try letting the dry out at this stage, I find it helps force them to ripen a little quicker.

[@Craxin01]

Already had our first hard freeze, so my plants are dead. Makes me wish I had a greenhouse setup like you do!

[@ChilliChump]

I feel very fortunate to have the cover. It certainly helps extend the season on both ends of it!

[@dilip8253]

My chilli plants are still alive and fruiting and they are outside! Still flowering as well.

[@ChilliChump]

That's awesome! Whereabout are you?

I hope I can get some plants growing this upcoming season. It's been so long since I've been able to grow!

[@ChilliChump]

Ah, you back to the gardening world next year eh? Nice!

[@PaulTMaack0]

​@@ChilliChump that's the hope! Assuming everything goes well for the next few weeks, I'll be done with school finally. :D I actually ordered a pack of the ChilliChump Seed Kit this year, in anticipation of being able to do something with them. /fingersCrossed

[@wranther]

Sure is nice seeing such an abundance of ripe and ripening pods after the middle of November Shaun! Dorset Naga, the plant that keeps on giving. I wonder what plants you may cross that with just to see an increase of pod production on larger plant varieties? May that mystery linger. Here as the season is over outdoors, trying to decide on what I may set up for some indoor pepper house plants to compliment those already growing. Meanwhile, Stay Spicy!! -Bob...
