Top tip I got from our friends in the US with chilli plants... Once the plants get to about the third leaf pair pinch off the top growth point. The plant will keep growing, but it forces more bushy growth which means more flowers and more chillis! This works especially well with varieties like Jalepenos!

[@GrowVeg]

Top tip!

In his book, "Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades", Steve Solomon has a great recipe for hot peppers. (BTW, this book is very much applicable to England, as Oregon weather is mostly the same as England.) Put peppers through the meat grinder, seeds and all. Then mix the resulting paste with lots of vinegar for a minute or so. Drain the vinegar through the sieve or cheesecloth, and save it for cooking (it's delicious). Mix the paste with plenty of good olive oil and pack it into clean jars. Top jars with more olive oil and put them into the refrigerator. Lasts until next summer. Doesn't go bad. I've been using this recipe for years. Enjoy!

[@tootsweet2476]

Im in Alaska, and you sir, are an inspiration. With your careful instruction, some quality seeds and other starters, we are building a DIY greenhouse this spring. I have been an indoor hydroponic grower most of my life, as our climate and local pests are more than the usual risky business. (the aphids here are another breed entirely, and we wont speak of the mites) You've opened new doors for us. Cheers! Just wanted you to know your words have reached across the pond and the plains!

Growing peppers in western Oregon has proven to be a challenge over the years. Finally I'm fertilizing and waiting long enough in the spring to set them in the garden that I'm beginning to see progress. I grow primarily Anaheims and Poblanos, but am testing a small sweet red pepper this year. My chili pepper crop was great last year. I see that you (Ben) are growing bigger sweet peppers in pots - perhaps I'll give that a go next year.

I'm a sweet pepper lover. I've got red, orange and yellow lunchbox peppers, orange bells and cubanelles. I started them from seeds I saved last year. I've always said peppers are the princess of the garden--conditions need to be just right for them to thrive.

[@i2ndsight]

We are growing Cubanelle, Ancho and Marconi peppers. I overwintered them in the laundry room garden bay window. The clothes dryer and the adjacent kitchen keep the pepper plants warm. They grow slower during the winter, but they do not die. I have them in square 12 inch pots.

I've just started getting into gardening and growing my own food etc. I tried to grow a bell pepper. It got about 3 inches height and then it just stopped. I honestly have no clue. I purchased a small scotch bonnet from the nursery and it's been a roller coaster. I kept it windowsill all year. I grew only one successful chilli last year. Then it went through a process of pests. Leaves dying and flowers just kept falling off. This summer I've taking it outdoors and it's growing many chillies. Yay! So rewarding. I'm learning. Anyway.. I'm taking up studying of horticulture so i can understand and help me grow more fruit/veg/herbs. I also want to work in the industry as well.

I started growing chillies last year and they were a huge success even though we had a pretty poor summer. I kept a few alive over winter in a greenhouse whose temperature doesn't drop below 7°C.

Hi Ben loved the video on peppers. I've never grown them until this year. awaiting the fruit now. Last summer knowing I was taking on my first ever alotment in late july/August 21: I planned the seeds I wanted. Taking the red pepper seed core we ate as part of our supper, I dryed the seeds for a couple weeks, then put them in an old yoghurt pot with clingfilm cover and stored all winter at the back of my fridge. Not knowing if it would work or not. I planted several trays in early spring in hope and found every one germinated. I am now the proud gardener of rather a lot of pepper plants. lol I've planted out about 20 plants in the hope they will produce prolifically.

I am growing habeneros and clown peppers this year from seed. I will also plant some jalapenos and possibly some bell peppers.

I'm new to your videos. I really enjoy learning better gardening from you. I do have a question about your green garden shoes or miles. They look so comfy. Keep bringing the cheer. I actually got into gardening this year. Thank you.

My green gardening shoes are just a cheap pair of 'crocks'. I love them because they're so easy to slip on and off when I go into and out of the garden. :-)

I've just had my first pepper flower so I'm eagerly waiting for the fruit, so excited!

Whoop, whoop! Great result!
