5 Vegetable Plants You Can Overwinter and Grow Next Year

Some vegetable plants have a short lifespan such as corn and squash but some are perennial by nature. In this video, I will cover 5 plants you can overwinter which includes Peppers, Eggplants, Okra, Kale, and Tomatoes. This way you can save these plants over the winter and get a head start in growing vegetables early next spring.

Water atleast once a week. Depends on how long does your soil hold moisture. If your soil drains faster and dries out in 2 to 3 days, then water every 2 to 3 days. The idea is to keep the soil moist and let it get to little bit on dry side before watering again.

[@jazradcliffe2286]

I have been growing a pepper plant indoors for 4 years even during the summer. I have taken hundreds of chillies from it. It requires a lot of pruning and I have grown and gave away a lot of prunings. I've just harvested all year around.

[@user-xj9ls3ph9h]

What kind of grow light are you using? What brand and number of watts? LCD or flouescent?

[@carolynwardle6913]

Can you please tell us more..

[@CardiacCat]

Also if you need more tomato plants and don't have a lot of spare money (they are getting really expensive at the store), just pinch off the suckers that grow between the main stalk and the leaf and plant the sucker directly into some dirt. Keep it moist and it will root and grow into a whole other tomato plant for free!

[@valevisa8429]

That works only if you have a long growing season.

[@CardiacCat]

@@valevisa8429 Well I plant the "Early Girl" variety so they have 50 days til harvest time. And you can start taking those suckers off when the plant is still quite young. You don't wait until it's finished producing to start your other plants from it.

[@blessisrael6455]

Can you plant suckers indoors in October to be ready for spring ?

[@SerialSpinner-ss]

@@blessisrael6455 I have taken cuttings in the fall, rooted them and grow them through the winter for planting out in the spring. If the plants get too large before they can go out, I prune them back or take new cuttings to root and throw out the first rooted plant. I'm doing this to save a plant that was an accidental hybrid that I don't think will grow the same from saved seeds.

[@namehidden8854]

4:35 When you trim a pepper, there are two options, depending on what you're doing. 1, if you are going to take it indoors and keep it about room temperature, it is actually good to leave the suckers, which will improve productivity next year. Focus on taking off new foliage as this will not be able to develop healthily over the winter. 2, if you are going to leave it outdoors (for an established, woody perennial plant) then take off the suckers as they will die otherwise. This causes the plant to concentrate any sunlight it gets into the main stem, expanding the woody section and slowly growing your permanent plant.

[@marycarr3543]

You can also do okra, collards, tomatoes, roman lettuce, celery, cabbage, onions, brocolli, pineapples, carrots the same way as you do your peppers. I like to share my information with as many as people as I can. One day it's going to come in handy.

[@nataliejackson3150]

Thank you

[@CardiacCat]

That day is now. Many people just are not realizing it yet.

[@girlinawolfhoodiewolf2426]

May I ask how you do it with all of those especially carrots and onions?!

[@artherenewilliams7435]

@Mary Carr Do you mind sharing how you over winter these plants?

[@donnachavez8230]

Please share what you do.

[@adrienneoliver5457]

I can’t believe no one has told me about this for tomatoes!! Can’t wait to try it this year!

[@CardiacCat]

Not only this, in the spring when your tomatoes start to grow, pinch off those suckers that grow in between the leaf and the main stalk and plant them in dirt. They will root and make even more tomato plants to give you multiple waves of tomato plants producing at different times. Also how to get more tomato plants for $0. 🙂

[@sally-annarchie8515]

Same here. I just learned this the other day and I did my cuttings on Sunday. Hope they survive the winter.

[@Saqqarai]

If I bring in another plant my husband will divorce me. Pruning is a great tip I seem to overlook. The dining room is a complete jungle. If I see nats I’m going to scream. Buying sand ASAP. Thx for the tips!

[@ayatti26]

I am in a 8B zone and i have over wintered peppers under my carport. As long as they can be protected from the elements they survive. Unheated garage offers even more protection and warmth.

[@latriciacagle4873]

I live in zone 9B and always overwinter my tomatoes and peppers outside with little or no pruning. I cover them if we get nighttime temperatures in the low 30’s. I get spring and fall harvests because the summers are too hot here.

[@wishcloudstudios]

I have been overwintering cherry tomatoes for years. I usually keep one in a pot and bring it into the house for the winter. I enjoy a few tomatoes all winter long! But overwintering the peppers were new to me as of last winter, so I am eager to try it this year.

[@chanimarie6753]

Yeaaa, didn't know my okra could over winter along with our tomatoes & peppers!😄 Tfs stay safe & be well. AMANI🌺

[@isikeliraisuni9324]

[@tempgirl00711]

I wish I'd seen this a while back. I didn't know enuf, and left my okra, peppers, bell pepper, eggplant,tomato and friggin kale out. Which BTW they were producing like crazy. Oh well I know now, and will be sure to bring my new ones in. First time grower last year, so much info out there. Was interested in only planting things that return like I do my plants. This time I'll be ready.

[@SteffaniesJourney]

I never thought to do that with my tomatoes, thank you, I will be growing indoors now for the winter!!

[@meek.intuitive]

This is one of the best and most helpful tips I have come across as a beginner Gardner! I had a pepper plant that I started from seed last year that did really well. I wish I had known about this method. Thank you for all of the great information you share I watch your videos regularly! Positive vibes from North Carolina 🙏🏾✨

[@EntreFamiliaAmigosyDios]

Me too...but now we know and will take advantage this plants.💪

[@robwright5940]

One of our pepper plants has survived since spring 2019. I agree. It is under a lemon tree so I guess it was protected by lemon tree.

[@christianwitness]

Kale routinely overwinters. Kale sets seed in the 2nd spring to summer. Perfectly cold-hardy. The othets are all of the nightshade family and basically tropical...

[@1-God1-Truth1-Life1-Forever]

I was raised on a working vegetable farm, our primary crop being tomatoes. We had other veggies as well. I learned much about the other veggies you covered here. Thanks. I'm so excited to try out my new found knowledge! Happy Farming!!

[@Bigfoottehchipmunk]

This is so great! I planted tomatoes late this year, because our cat knocked down my seedlings in spring. Even though I have pruned my tomato plants way back to focus on ripening the fruit they have on before it gets too cold, I think I can save some cuttings, peppers too! Between this and the video about cuttings from herbs and lettuce, I will also be able to get some good starts for my aquaponic garden tower I can grow indoors during winter as well. You just saved me some trouble of starting all new seedlings in rockwool. Thank you so very much!

[@Msibme]

Thank you for this video ... this video reminded me that I used to plant my house plants in my yard during the spring and summer ... they grew tons they loved it. in the fall I repotted them and brought in ... they did not like it much but they still grew ... I will see about doing this with these vegetables. Just for info I saved a poinsettia some one threw away after the holidays ... much like the vegetables in this video I nurtured it until spring and planted it outside ... it thrived and was almost like a tree when I brought in back in my house that fall.

[@dreamweaver5516]

Just amazing info! Thanx Jag. Blessings to you and your family!!

[@anonomouselephant6169]

Well done! The most information I have learned from online gardeners! I have been gardening just a few years but trust me I have watched TONS of other gardening videos. I wish I had watched yours first! THANK YOU!!!

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Glad you like the video :) means a lot to me, it is a lot of work to make informative videos

[@annadavis6361]

I have a tomato plant that I love and can’t wait to apply what you suggested so that I can keep it for next year! Thank you!

[@TheSoilandGreen]

Just start your seed inside with a light 24 hours a day. Or daylight and light at night. Those will get growing fast. Tomatoes will grow inside very well and set fruit too. Good luck

[@JF-bd2np]

I've been using diatomaceous earth for gnat control and it seems to work well even for earwigs / pincher bugs and other pests. The way I've heard it, DE is like glass to small insects and gets in their exoskeleton joints.

[@swayback7375]

Yea, it stabs them and lets the big juice out, they dry up. But DE is most effective when ground into fine powder, most sources state that it’s only effective until it gets wet. In late summer and fall we get such heavy dew that it wets the DE that’s on leaves piles of it get a crust on top. It may still work some but it turns to concrete after a while, that’s not going to kill bugs. They may dislike the crusty piles too tho. It’s just ground up rock, I don’t think there’s any worries with using too much

[@peachybuttercrunch4409]

that is amazing stuff

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]

I make a barrier around my beds with it and use a castile soap spray on the foliage for other pests and it's been perfect. It also works great in compost piles and worm bins for not only bugs but, molds as well and I even mix a bit into most my soils along side the bone and blood etc. to amend it.

[@jacquelinegemmell612]

So you dust DE on plants if bringing them inside? I got mold and gnats in our basil last year. Looking for something to use this winter. We are in 8b.

[@kards17]

Do you put DE on top of the soil? Or mix it in with the soil?

[@peacelily720]

I was thinking about how to keep over winter egg plants, peppers, and tomatoes. Thank you for sharing.

[@dianapollex3266]

I've learned so much from your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@mnastreeservice]

Awsome video Jack Thanks for taking the time to spread your knowledge.

[@SorentheCrazyCrayon2]

I've been overwintering tomato cuttings for a long time, but I had no idea I could overwinter my peppers! I'm so excited to try this, thank you!

[@CardiacCat]

Same. I had about 8 bell pepper plants out of which six made it. Now I only have 3 left after the summer. Only 1 produced 2 green bell peppers. I happily used those 2 and thanked God for what I was given. These are first year plants so I'm going to take the remaining plants up and try to overwinter them on my back sun porch through the winter. Tomatoes are VERY easy to root cuttings. I just put the directly into the dirt and they root just fine. Going to bring some of them in and get new starts going for the spring garden. Never knew you could do Okra like this too. I've got about 12 hills of that and will try to overwinter them too. Okra is a great producer and it feels like you get a bounty every few days. I'm about to put collards, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots in for the winter garden.

[@nicoletaelias2559]

How fo you winter your tomatoes? Would love to try that.

[@SorentheCrazyCrayon2]

@@nicoletaelias2559 I take sucker cuttings and root them with a little moist soil. They root pretty easily, and they're nice and big when next spring comes around

[@clarkl4177]

🎉Found this JUST IN TIME!!! About to clear out my garden and looked at other videos about overwintering individual plants --but YOURS is the ONE stop shop for overwintering, Jag👍 Much gratitude. PS my okra is 8 feet tall 😲

[@janbeesmusings]

Your videos are so informative. Being a first time gardener, I learnt so much from you. Many thanks and keep up the good work.

[@joanies6778]

Great info! I knew about over wintering peppers, but not the others mentioned. I have seedlings still as backup plants, but so far, my in ground plants are doing well... I may just go ahead and plant them in buckets so they can be brought inside later. I won't transplant okra because it grows so fast... but taking cuttings from tomatoes and rooting them, absolutely! Last year I had a late volunteer growing a tomato plant out of the side of my compost pile. I got some tomatoes that ripened inside with the stems in water... should have let them root, too. I just think it's safer to spray with neem oil and use fresh indoor potting mix before bring them inside. I have a big sunroom I can use plus my lights I used when they were seedlings. This will be fun.

[@wendygoicochea5910]

Thank you for the peroxide mention. I have trouble with fungus gnats when starting plants each year. Not this next year thanks to you. My peppers.and 2 tomatoes will be over wintered this year too.

[@mercyfinny5267]

Hello. Jag Thank you ur advice Already I kept my plant in sun room If below 45 , night we keep light on I got a motivation from ur gardening Still outside I have okra and tomatoes, still harvesting I planted radish and kale outside I kept some tomatoes branches in water Really I found roots and kept in pots Thank you so much God bless you 👌

[@olefosshaug5565]

This is a game changer to me. Here in Norway Peppers, Eggplants and Okra are hard to grow without starting in early winter using grow lights because of short season and cool summers, and I try to avoid using grow light because of the expenses and climate footprint. From now on I will overwinter them all and of course take cuttings from the Tomatoes, giving them all a head start next season. Except for the Kale because Kale do very well here in Norway 😀 My wife LOVE Okras and use it to make Sinigang. This is so helpful, brilliant work Jag 🙂

[@narupa9]

Thanks for sharing. Very informative. I will use this idea for my tomato plant and chili peppers this yr

[@TheHappySensitive]

So excited to try this this fall! Your pruning back is also much less extreme/brutal than another video I saw on this topic, so pfew, that's a relief!

[@squange20]

Brilliant! Our winter is starting in June, and although we get mild winters up north in NZ, we get the odd frosty day at the height of winter. My okra and aubergine plants didn’t produce many fruit because of our bad summer this year, so I’ll follow your advice and prune them back to keep in the greenhouse over winter. My capsicum, cayenne and habanero plants did very well despite the bad summer, although the capsicums did not turn red. The habanero plant stayed in the ground from last year, and produced hundreds of peppers this year, which we shared with friends and neighbours.

[@suzanneweary9739]

I have been thinking about this all week, then I saw that we'll be in the 70's all week with low temperatures in the 50's in my part of Georgia. Since everything is still fruiting, I'm lost. This is the beginner's đilema. Thanks for this video.

[@kamikazitsunami]

I know this sounds really weird but I love my vegetable plants so much that the idea of cutting them back makes me feel sad. I feel like I'm hurting them. Because it's starting to get cold outside I brought as many pots as I could in and put them on my dining room table with a light on them. 😂 Considering the fact that I've always had a black thumb and don't have any houseplants it's crazy that I've been growing food on my patio in pots. 😂 It's definitely been trial and error but these babies I grew from seed and I'm quite attached to them.

[@shahedayeasmeen8089]

I have same problem too. I love all my plants; doesn't matter those plants give me the fruits, vegetables or flowers but I love those so much that all winter I keep in my house and bring outside on the weekend for fresh air and sun.

[@yanirisencarnacion04]

I feel the same hahaha

[@rnupnorthbrrrsm6123]

It is hard but for them to survive the winter they do better to prune them up. They go dormant but still use energy to stay alive, the more stems and leaves the more energy used. One year I baby’d my pepper plants all winter, which is very long here in zone 3 and they all died as spring was getting close :(

[@gainedinthegarden3925]

Think of it like us getting a haircut we need to groom.

[@pradipcalcutta]

I felt the same. I have a beautiful smelling rose plant that gave me hundreds all flowers, but only once a year. This year we deadheaded it and pruned the overgrown brsnches. Lo and behold we got a second Bloom of same quantity of roses. I guess we need to reprogram our brains to think that we are giving a spa treatment to our plants (our babies), when we trim them.
