I also love the point of not using chemical fertilizers using the forest as an example. Thanks for teaching people how to grow food for themselves.

[@nikkiherbert9818]

What will be even better, is that you take us through the different stages of growth until pimentos blossom...other than that, thanks for the info

[@northumberlandacres]

The ole Trinidad way...hit it with a hammer. 😂 Thank you for the great information.

[@lakshmieegosine8797]

Awesome information! Pennsylvania/Trinidad 🇹🇹

[@annmartin1585]

Thanks for breaking this down for us. 👍

[@christianfraser7684]

This was nice and informative. Suggestion is a "tanks if contents of the points spoken on and possibly times to skip too. Also if it were process first and detailed explanations after would be cool. Thanks for sharing man ✌️

[@deborahhosein2535]

I grow piemento in California but I have to start it on a warm mat. Once it’s planted outside and matures over summer it is tolerant to the cool winters here going as cool as 46 degrees at night. They are resilient if near a wall to protect from the wind. Like you stated I grown in 10 gallon fabric pots and move them to better locations in summer. I just came across your channel. Clear instructions and informative.

Great content my brother! I live in Florida now and my seeds came up for the first time in 3 years! Very excited. I really hope they grow. I'm following your tips! Wish me luck!

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

Soak seed in cool Chamomile tea,X 24 hours...,it works so well I grow them in Southern California,

[@mrlnvrtt]

Thank you for sharing...I live in Pennsylvania and it is cold so i just set some primentos seeds so i am praying they grow healthy

[@nikkiherbert9818]

I really appreciate coming across this video as I'm about to transplant 3 Pimento seedlings in buckets and pray for the best. 🙏

Hello Fellow Trini Gardener/Farmer!

[@ashleybenjamin4033]

I have 7 seedlings from seed growing. I hope all 7 make it 🌱👌🏾

[@rickysookoo6630]

Very informative and well explained, fantastic job. I bought a pimento plant last year and planted it in a big planter,and I got lots of pimentos. So I started some seedlings indoors, now I'm waiting for warm weather to plant outside, oh,I live in Toronto. Will keep you updated

[@eltimmoteo]

This is a great guide! Thanks very much for posting. In the UK and missing pimento peppers so much, when my aunt gave me some, I saved the seeds and just planted them. Hope that they survive!

[@denisepierre5722]

Thank you for sharing; very practical and detailed.

[@walkingwiththemosthighgod4507]

Awesome video I planted some trees a few years ago and have not bought any pimentoes since. My most favoirite choice of seasoning.

[@lucyudy]

You are an excellent teacher. I am soooo glad I found your channel. Question, the wood compost you talk about, it should be raw shavings right? i.e. without any stain or varnish on it? Where does one get that not in any garden shop I assume.

[@wesleygriffith7244]

Thanks very much for the information. i mixed pot soil and lumber manure and its growing well so far.

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

I used the Burpee seed starter kit and it worked for me..the soil pellets that expand were great,

[@leongloudon5733]

Hi. Great informational video. My question is do you leave the seedlings in the open environment or sheltered but with required sunlight? Thanks and keep up the great work.

[@nero6827]

Great video. What fertilizer should I use?

[@bagolive]

Hi good afternoon am about to plant some pimento peppers here in Florida and do you recommend topping of the seedlings

[@nurseinthegarden]

Great video. I tried to germinate pimento seeds in NY and I had such trouble but I am visiting Trinidad soon to get some fresh seeds.

[@thetrinigardener4712]

That's awesome!!

[@missbttrsctch]

Ugh, I wish you could bring some for me!

[@northumberlandacres]

How is it that growing up Pimentos had no heat, but now they do and that's accepted as the way it's always been? Please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers them having no heat.

[@backseatbully]

Ur tolerance is going down maybe

[@AGNT_Alexander.07]

Do you ever use the Blaukorn in your peppers? I does do the same with my peppers but sometimes I use the blaukorn also... what are your ideas on that?

[@AGNT_Alexander.07]

Can you do a video on curing organic manure? Thank you.

[@ariellaramoutar5540]

Plant premento into the ground you will need a little fast tack while its a little plant abermectin for the mites and trips king dragon also works fungicides are required for the plant to stay helthy a pepper plant will live up to a year or more but the purple salt for pepper works so good

[@ashramramju1635]

Hey goodevening hw long after u plant your peppers would you recommend to start feeding it with manure or any organic food? Thanks in advance

[@davu2767]

A question, once pimento start fruiting do the continue to produce fruit after reaping, how often if at all can one expect new flower/ fruit sets from the same plant. Ty

[@joancayenne9293]

Thks. For the video, but did you say garden salt?

[@solangeincolor6271]

Hi thanks for sharing. What's the name of the organic fertiliser and where was it purchased?

[@christianboodoosingh5347]

why does your voice sound like the guy who does lucy girl voice overs on IG? good vid too

[@user-ke8ts6tn6m]

If I put pieces of rotten tree and some dry leafs then backfill dirt sand mixed well with manure in a half cut barrel would that work ?

[@Clairsadventures]

Thanks for your thorough explanation. Us live to get sone real pimento seeds, could you tell me where to find seeds. Thanks.

[@HomeSweetHomewithKaren]

Looks like I bought a north american pimento plant not a variety like yours. Oh well, but some good info on how to grow a pepper (first time doing a pepper)

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

My nephew did the same thing,in Atlanta Georgia, I had to tell him,ge grew the wrong Pimento

[@RasSosa]

Fellow Trinidadian, you are studied and good, very good. Figuratively speaking, yuh neighbor is a liar and a macco about you! You are well good! Thank you very much for your sharing of hardcore knowledge!

[@myrtlephillip2]

Hi. Can you recommend a diy spray for curlimg pimento leaves

[@reneeroutzahn]

Hello from Maryland! I’m getting my garden in order and I can’t find any pimento (capsicum chinense) anywhere. I’m thinking of buying some from out local Caribbean grocery to sprout. You seem knowledgeable like a horticulturalist, do you know whether the peppers they ship here to us are grown away from habenero or scorpions? And if they get refrigerated in route, will that affect their growth?

[@abioladick2446]

2 of my pimento plants didn't do well at all....I moved 1 out of the full sun and it's doing much better......but d 2 I left I'm hoping they revive cause pimento plants are very resilient.

[@vanessatoussaint8147]

My pimentos plant is already growing and baring flowers do i transfer into something like the black bucket you showed?

[@chalonstewart6591]

Forgive the dumb question. Is “plant food” fertilizer???? The little blue things?

[@ariellaramoutar5540]

My husband has not planted premento over 3 years the last time he planted it sold so cheep we had to abandon the feild the chemical prices are so high we use to pick around 28 to 45 onion bags of premento a week or cupple weeks

[@joannenascimento9213]

Please tell us where in Trinidad to get the organic materials. Thanku.

[@ancilnoel2200]

Where you get your cow manure ,worm castings and tomato tone and the price

[@CookNComedy]

My pimento plant keeps dropping leaves, can you overwater them?

[@brainbuilders_tutoring928]

How much hot peppers can you grow alongside with pimento peppers ?

[@latishaali-ramlogan7264]

How do you plant pimento seeds?

[@vanessatoussaint8147]

My pimento pot is way smaller,should i get a bigger plant pot?

[@tessahuggins4561]

Wait you growing cassava ina bag to

[@lys7673]

How long does it take pimento to grow

[@nicoleworrell7687]

What do you do about ants?

[@beautyculture4943]

I had pimento planted In buckets. It send out a lot if flowers, but suddenly the leaves and flowers dropped out. What's causing this?

[@breneros3436]

Is it true, that if pimento peppers are planted on the ground next to hot peppers it is likely the pimento peppers will be hot as well?

[@devatafari1660]

Yes this happens

[@MattyNelson-rs3ik]

Probably due to cross pollination?

[@adelfomarrero8723]

Don't put your sweet peppers next to your hot peppers because they will turn hot instead peppers next nitrogen and calcium also potassium and they will produce plenty of peppers 🌶 thank you for the video.

[@868north]

I'm saying thank you for now but I'm eventually going to come back here. Is there any way I can contact you privately for advice? I have two plants I've been taking care of for 2-3 months now and I'm not sure if it's the direct sun it's receiving or what but they are dying 😢I need serious help before I give up.

[@thetrinigardener4712]
