[@lindaseel9986]

Yes, Tuck deserves all the snacks he wants. 🌞⭐❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Monkchip]

The peppers are always the last fruit bearing plants to remain in my garden, and I usually get rid of them along with the tomatoes, so this is like a pepper 🌶️ revolution! Awesome, my friend.

[@minamur]

you can overwinter tomatoes too

[@IdentityIAm111]

​@@minamurHow? Is it the same process?

[@shake_shells11]

@@minamurI tried to overwinter some tomato cuttings inside last winter, but I didn’t realize it has tomato hornworms or eggs on it. When I check back, they already ate all the leaves 😢😢

[@Amanda-cn3pk]

Also its a good idea to prune 1/3 while still in ground or pots, leave a couple weeks then do as James says for overwintering. By not pruning all at once helps plant not go into shock and die.

[@studyengineeringinaustrali8317]

Not true. Here in Australia we have our spring 1st day of September. I pruned all my chilli plants to absolute bare. 4 months later, they have grown up into a nice big bush. Lots of fruit too!

[@ethanpayne4116]

@@studyengineeringinaustrali8317 Did you actually have to repot your plants? Depending on where you are in Australia I assume you might have been able to even just leave them in the ground over winter, but many plants can certainly go into shock if they undergo extensive damage such as aggressive pruning or root damage while repotting. Each species will have its own particular hardiness and all kinds of factors can affect whether a particular plant goes into shock.

[@T3kkNoir]

I just wanted to say that I'm a huge pepper plant grower/lover and I usually grow carolina reapers.. I overwintered my pepper planst last year by accident in an attempt to save them.. I thought, just maybe this plant can regrow next season, but wasnt sure.. since then I realized that overwintering was a thing.. but not too many videos describing the process... I found this video extreamly helpful in the amount of detail you've provided and it helped me understand parts of the process that I thought about doing but thought wouid hurt the plant. Thank you so much for being a wonderful guide!

[@amyb5339]

What a great garden helper Tuck is! ❤

[@nhungcrosbie8750]

Thank you for the lesson on the pepper plants! I’ll try to do it too.

[@char8a291]

I tried this last season & all but one died. They were in my house and I had high hopes. The one that lived never produced but I also did not use the neem oil or soap. It’s a great idea and thanks for encouraging us to try again. Tuck may need a bubble bath. He is so awesome and evidently is the supervisor on duty. 👍😄

[@samanthahoos9827]

I tried this last year and brought it inside the house. Bad move - aphids everywhere! This year I have a greenhouse so I moved one banana pepper plant with ginger tubers in there still in the pot. I love experiments!

[@beckysnead8914]

This video is so right on time. I have 2 pimento plants that I'm going to try overwintering. And although temps soared to 82 degrees here in northeastern Maryland zone 7a today, temps are scheduled to dive to 30 degrees on Wednesday night.

[@MovingBlanketStudio]

Never overwintered peppers- live in MA. I'm gonna try this on my 3 or 4 plants in the garden. Thanks for explaining the process.

[@SherryEllesson]

James, thanks for such detailed info! I overwintered some peppers a few years back. Right now, I'm rooting some cuttings from a successful tomato plant and will be seeing if I can keep it alive in my garage, which is insulated and has windows all along the top.

[@lisag9493]

I do this every year with my Sungold f1 tomato plants ,, I take lots of cuttings in the autumn and keep them in a cool spare bedroom and water very sparingly, I’m sure a garage will be fine as long it’s frost free ,, in Feb/March you will have plenty of material to take further cuttings from,, will give you tomatoes several weeks earlier than sowing the seeds, will save you money in seeds and it’s a great feeling to keep the plants going from one year to the next, good luck and regards from the UK

Our dogs are very similar. I can even point to the ground & they'll dig holes for me / eradicate garden pests. Dogs are THE BEST!!! HAPPY GARDENING!

[@beckyw2903]

Your timing is perfect! I’ve been frustrated that it took my bell peppers until this month to start producing - I must be doing something wrong because I’m in DE, so my weather is similar to yours - and I’ve been trying to figure out how I can give them a better start next year. Maybe I should just dig them up and give them a round 2 so I can get the ripe peppers I want! They’re still green, so I’ve been watching the frost forecast closely.

[@GetFitEatRight]

Peppers where really late in general this year. Adding to the insult of the pepper gate mess. PS. going with MLGardener next spring for seeds. I don't need drama in my garden.

[@bjoernandersen8287]

Great video and Tuck is the bonus in your show, always helping and ready to taste if the veggies are ready to harvest.

[@ctpopham]

is there a video concerning when spring comes and we have to put in a bigger container for the summer growing season? Love your videos keep up the good work

[@lilyrose4191]

Thank you James and Tuck! I have experimented with capsicums in the past, in a similar way (in Australia) with success! Thanks so much for sharing 🙂!

[@MetalManiaAllTheWay]

I was just considering doing this today, but I wasn't sure if it actually worked. I'm going to give it a try because I know you know what you're doing. What are all the plants that you personally overwinter? That would be a great video.

[@chachadodds5860]

Another awesome video. I'm in 7b but just had our first frost last night. It's probably too late to save my property plants now, but I'll definitely do this next year. My problem is that I don't have an indoor place to overwinter them. Hoping next year to see someone do a similar video for those of us in that situation. Thanks, James & Tuck, for all of your incredible videos. ❤

[@philipmorgan6984]

I had my peps all pruned for overwintering but hadn't dug them out yet, then it frosted the other night. I don't know if they'll make it or not. We shall see. Maybe the roots in ground were protected enough? 🤞

Best over winter pepper plants video

[@dannybarrett1742]

Thanks James and Tuck! I live in south-eastern Australia, so we're in spring. I over-wintered a couple of red bell pepper plants, and they're starting to get new leaves, so I'm happy about that. What's even more surprising is that I have some tomato plants that sprouted late last season, so I left them in their pots, near the western brick wall of the house (the wall gets the afternoon sun all year, so it's probably the warmest part of the garden - though it also gets the worst wind). The plants survived, so now I have tomato plants already fruiting before my next lot of seeds have even sprouted! The plants have had a hard life over the winter, so the fruit is small, but it was an interesting experiment, and it might lead to better results if I try to over-winter some tomatoes next winter. Do you have any experience with overwintering tomatoes?

[@ofrecentvintage]

So interesting for me to see your comment because I'm about to attempt to overwinter tomatoes! I'm in a much colder zone so we'll see.

[@AbundantGardening]

I personally wouldn't ever overwinter tomatoes unless they were micro size. They grow so fast, and indeterminate tomatoes start slowing down after about 15-18 months. I'd always start from seed every year. Edit: and they get too tall anyway. If they've had a rough life, they really won't fully recover. Seedlings are more adaptable

[@Lunasgarden2021]

I’m in SA and my peppers I just cut back in the spring and they burst into life. I leave them outside and I have one plant that would be about 10 years old. It’s very easy to do in Australia because we don’t get so cold

[@ofrecentvintage]

@@AbundantGardening In my case, the tomato plants I'm considering are still fairly young because I got them transplanted late. They *are* indeterminate, so that's a concern, and I'm not sure I have enough indoor light, but they're so young & healthy that I don't want to see them perish in the frost if they can be saved. Definitely an experiment!

[@gailmcdonald1946]

Awsome, you could look into attatchable glass houses the keep tomatoes out warm and wind free,ive seen them in the internet, not that expensive, im in Australia too.

❤ My birds eye chilli grew thousands each year and just died after 8 and a half years❤❤. I am thinking of my chilli….RIP. It will be summer soon so I am going to plant another one. You are so ingenious how you over winter you chillies and capsicum …..Here I find some delicate plants need to be “over summered”……winter here is warm and the best time to get out in the garden for any vigorous jobs.

My over wintered peppers are coming out of dormancy now. Lots of leaves on the top budding but i hope more branches will come further down the stem. Pretty excited! This was my first time trying it out

[@360sxc]

Can this be done for fruits as well. I have a golden apple, a mango and starfruit tree in pots. It gets cold where I live in Florida I’m north

[@supremepizza3710]

As one who has learned to leave well enough alone as a shortcut too sanity... Never knew this about peppers living in the great white north. Have seen -40 to -50. FREAK! My dogs... whom refused to occupy some fine custom housing. One burrowing under and the other a snowdrift... They were fine though a little stiff. This year was my first actual container garden of second story deck. As having abandoned the raised beds... maybe next season. It went phenomenal! Overwintering... indoors trim and fit. Topping off settled soil with homemade bio-additive, used dirt and bait worms. 70 and still experimenting... no bugs! Amazing:

A random bird was kind enough to 'deposit' native chili pequin next to my work shed. For the last three years I've pruned it back to the first Ys on the stems and mulched it with dry pecan leaves. It comes back strong and produces more peppers than I can eat.

I REAPPY appreciate your videos and I’m PRAYING you answer this question because I just don’t know what else to do. I have BLACK Marvels which are a type of Hibiscus and white flies won’t leave it alone. I have tried the plant soap … Neem oil… BT spray even was told by the local gardeners to buy this mosquito type grain which did NOTHING!! I even tried peppermint oil and I can’t get them to leave my plants alone. I’m SOO discouraged and idk what else to do but I’m thinking now to get rid of the soil and force them into early dormancy and see if that helps. It just makes me want to cry. Also something keeps eating my collards like celery I spray bt but that’s not helping idk what else to do. Please help!!

Me too, zone 8. We're supposed to get down to 31 on Nov. 1 in ATL.

[@51rwyatt]

I live in Maine, and I think overwintering is a great way to get good pepper harvests despite cooler temps in summer and a shorter growing season. The one plant I overwintered last year, a Tobago Seasoning, had excellent yield in its second season. Now I have 10 plants overwintering for next year.

[@bathchakamah]

Excellent! Thank you James and Tuck.

[@joshuahoyer1279]

Very interesting! I wonder if the mimosa leaves are too "hot" like chicken manure? OR could the mimosa trees have caught some drifting herbicide way up in the air? That stuff does volatilize pretty easily and drift quite a ways from where it was applied.

[@angeliquereed463]

Thank you james... Good to see you Tuck ❤❤❤

[@Embassy_of_Jupiter]

I got a variety called "Jamy", it got ~6 feet tall (182cm) and is loaded with peppers, really healthy and cold tolerant apparently. Meanwhile 5 other varieties were doing extremely poorly right next to it under the same conditions. Definitely a keeper.

Great video.! Instructions were thorough. I watched your video because I wasn’t sure how to store the plants. It took so long for my jalapeños to ripen that I thought this overwintering would help for next year!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. I live in Rhode Island and the temps have gone down in the 20’s already. I hope it won’t get too cold for them. Thanks again for your awesome videos. Tuck is adorable and is a great addition!!! I also just watched your video about planting apple trees. I had no idea they could get sooo big. I would be in absolute heaven if I could grow a Macoun apple tree. My Absolute favorite apple 🍎. They are so short lived here.

[@judylee1860]

Well, I did cut the produce before I brought mine out of the ground when at night the temps started hitting into the 40s. I’ve got to say by comparison the roots of mine were very small and shallow, which may be in their favor. Only one of the plants seemed stressed so it did get cut way back. But because after a few days in the garage all of them seemed happy in pots and with what has been left of their foliage they are now inside being treated like houseplants. I wish for a greenhouse and wish for being able to provide for the garden in the way that you do yours. So I watch you for inspiration and ideas I can apply on a really thin budget. I love Tuck’s winter fur. And his disposition is so sweet, its too bad he doesn’t have Tuck pups hanging around too.
