[@Piteroski]

Xd good job man, how old you were when you created plantation ? ;)

[@laraoyku3426]

Ohhh how are they now keep us updated!

[@charlierees8612]

Do you need to punch holes in the eclair box?

[@-nivek6489]

This dude's voice is so calming and he has a lot of info. I subscribed

[@ProjectDiaries]

Good to hear. Thank you :)

[@barbarahodgkinson2765]

Yes I agree i love the simplistic methods used. My fave

[@wakokaine6976]

Maybe cause he ain't yelling at the mic

[@marqueritebeukman7185]

To be honest who didn't subscribe

[@tasha3757]

He's great! I'm always so happy to find his videos in my recommendations.

[@saralewis9027]

Hey. I am a new comer but absolutely loving your videos. You've encouraged me to start my growing journey at home with my two sons 10 and 18months old. Your videos are absolutely fool proof. We are so extremely grateful for your wonderful work 🙏

[@RockyEvolutionGal]

Thank you for doing what you do. This is the beginning of recovery therapy for me, and I couldnt be more pumped to grow everything with the help of yoir videos. Thank you and god bless

[@rossi6113]

What a nice guy you are mate. Thank you so much for all of your advice.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank You Ricky. You're welcome

[@sherryroberts7716]

I'm from L.A. and not only do I love your tips on chili pepper starting, but I so adore your accent! All the best, Miss Sherry.

[@matthewdobson525]

Great vid. Attempting to grow chilis from seed for the first time this year and these tips are useful. Also, impressed with the modification ingenuity of some of the pots/watering bottle etc you have been demonstrating. Keeping costs down and recycling the plastic too. Nice work!

[@myhillsidegarden3998]

Collecting seeds from our own grown plants is so helpful. It gives us plants that grow wonderfully, after a few years, as they become accustomed to growing where we plant them. Thanks for this video. Have a great today! Catherine

[@ProjectDiaries]

It really is! you're welcome :)

[@yardstep4167]

i collected maybe thousand chocolate morugas last year and managed to overwinter 13 peppers,they look like it's summer and i still don't understand how i made them so big and that moruga is 3rd year now and she is almost 160cm big,i will try to record some video finally and upload it on my chanel...and besides chilli today i opened my old suitcase full od seeds that i collected during 6 years of changing situations ,but nature never,bless

[@willgordge6003]

I would recommend drying the seeds out longer, up to 1-2 days depending on how hot it is. Also try drying them out on a piece of kitchen paper, it the moisture is absorbed by this better than a plate. Mine germinated in 6 days after doing this.

[@butteryspirit3336]

I started growing some chili plants in February. They are doing great and their almost done ripening. It would have been nice if I found this video when I started growing them lol. The thing is I got the seeds from my grandfather's chili plant. I literally just took a chili, ripped it open, and let the seeds dry for 2 hours, and put them in a cup to grow. I watered them everyday and when they started sprouting, I was excited. I was even more excited a few months later when I saw flowers began to sprout. I realized from that moment I inherited a green thumb from both my grandfathers since they were both farmers from Mexico.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Well done! Would you like to share your success on my gardening group? facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ

[@butteryspirit3336]

I would But I don't use facebook, or any social media, I only use youtube. but I do have a gmail.

[@butteryspirit3336]

Project Diaries well now many of my chili peppers are turning red.... and there's a chili pepper that is very twisted as well!

[@yiceniafelo-franco3636]

From my great grandfather's garden I got one of his ripen Chili Peppers and let it dry out. I am finally planting the seeds. I'm so excited 😁

[@falconfarms51]

Great job, I've learned alot from you. I like that you keep your camera work simple. Your style is informative and knowledgeable. I studying homesteaders to get my channel off the ground. Keep up the good work.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Good to hear! thanks :)

[@elainedixon5617]

Thank you for Shari like your video. It is so simple. You make it look so easy. Thank you again.

[@maxinecourtney4017]

Wonderful. Your videos have kept me busy and sane during this lockdown in 2020.

[@desertdanblacksmith1394]

Hope you are doing well and healthy mate! I always migrate back to you cause you have the best advice on YT.....you do all the stuff I am doing out here in the Az desert! .....thx

[@dustaone8521]

I'm just getting started with growing chillies, don't even have a garden but I had to subscribe because you seem like such a nice bloke :)

[@ericgeorge5483]

Great vid. I did the same myself from Chilli seeds from peppers I bought from my local supermarket! I sowed them in January and they are flowering away now and fruits are developing nicely! I would recommend it to anyone, its fun and free!

[@ashley-m]

Your videos are absolutely brilliant, thanks for all the help!

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're welcome :)

[@robmara]

Love this. I have some chilli seeds from dad in Australia that I'm now going to try and grow in Switzerland. Wish me luck and thanks for the tips!

[@gezsugg4869]

I love the fact you make this so easy! No special tools, pots, etc. Another great video.

[@paulahunter7601]

Thanks for all your brilliant videos. We love them and feel like you're an "old friend", these days!

[@sveng05]

On lockdown... saw dried chilis in the fridge... opened youtube and watched this... I have plans now this weekend. 😊❤

[@ubilubi1766]

Thank you for using simple things because I dont have a garden and just a small space where I can grow by the window. I will try now with some seeds I kept.

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're welcome :)

[@rizzo3689]

On my second year of growing hot peppers from seeds. You tube was a big help but there are soooo many videos of using specific soil mixes and buy this buy that. Love this vid that you made it simple and to the point. Thanks man!

[@Zurdomvp]

Nice vid. Been living in the Caribbean for years. Definitely this is the best method for a better germination percentage. Temp is very important as well should always be no less than 70f for hot pepper plants. Sun is a huge +

[@raine5534]

Every year, I come back to your video to grow my chillies. So good.

[@traceyclark178]

Great growing i enjoy watching the videos you make and you show us all that you don't have to spend a lot to get great results .

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! It's easy to get great results at low or no cost :)

[@rameshperera5250]

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm gonna try this today. Hopefully it would be not hard since I'm living in a warm weather country. It's calming to watch your videos. Keep up the good work. I'm a new subscriber!!!

[@jasonwalsh9211]

Great vid 👍... A suggestion, if you have a ripened banana cut it in to discs around 5mm thick (skin included) and push in around 4 or 5 seeds equally spaced then plant your seed discs in potting soil as normal....as the banana decomposes it acts like a natural fertiliser and also keeps the seeds moist.

[@emmajane2099]

Iv watched this video and grown chilies for the first time, only did it a fortnight ago but they have taken and are growing, your explaining is so easy to understand, thank you from Portugal xx

[@bigdave6591]

Just transplanted my seedlings into 9cm pots got 50 done today and probably about 100 tomorrow this really works people fantastic cheers

[@Sijtze22]

And that's how easy you have just turned in to my go-to video guide. Thanks, mate. Very much appreciate your videos and your style.

[@royduncan3902]

I love how you can do this in such temperatures! It means I can do it too!

[@ProjectDiaries]

It's tricky but can be done. Good luck :)

[@HitchHikersBlues]

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thank you! Share some of your growing photos on my garden group if you like? facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ/

[@caseysilva9222]

Thank you for the video and ideas on growing peppers.

[@ramzeneger]

In my opinion, really, you should have at least a billion subscribers. I mean, why cant you have them, all people have to eat, right? Thank you for doing this video. God Bless you and may you and your entire family and your viewers will have a great health and over abundance of blessings and Graces. Thank you.

[@ProjectDiaries]

haha! Well hopefully one day I could get close to a billion. Glad you like my Channel :)

[@ferretboul]

I'm SO happy. I have a bunch of chili plants. It's weird they haven't got very tall and started flowering very early. And now I have a bunch of green peppers throughout them! Will they turn red or do I harvest when green. No clue when I should harvest. Thanks

[@ojfgofg90u]

This is exactly what I'm looking for. Keep uploading informative videos like this sir. :)

[@ProjectDiaries]

Great! Let me know how you get on via my gardening group facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ

[@robertw8225]

My Chilli passion got me onto your vid, currently germinating Cayenne & Fresno. These are from seed I save every year, also Golden Cayenne, new this year. I make chilli sauce with garlic I grow also. We read from the same page re recycling & DIY Lee so your garden shed vid is a belter. I made my conservatory from reclaimed materials, very rewarding. Love the family connections, my littluns are up n coming gardeners & very willing helpers. Joined facebook & subscribed. See you along the way.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Amazing! I do have a little chili addiction myself. I have yet to make my own sauces though. Thanks mate and happy growing this year :)

[@landonb448]

Really liked the video. Very informative. One of the better i seen.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thanks! :)

[@liveforthekill1]

Great video mate! Found this while trying to work out how to grow Thai Birds Eye chilli from seeding. Looking forward to what will come of it!

[@Beyonder1881]

Thanks for this video, I've just planted 5 siling labuyo and 5 jalapeños in a plastic egg tray. I didn't have any compost so had to use soil from our garden. Wish me luck!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Hopefully it's a clear plastic (1) and not polystyrene (6)? They should germinate using garden soil but they will need some proper nutrients and compost as they get older. Good luck :)

[@STEINYY]

Awesome thanks mate! Hope you’re all well during these times!

[@kenjohnson1041]

Great easy to understand video.I've got some Carolina reaper,white fatalli,7 pod and aji lemon drop seeds.I'm looking to make a supply of my own sauces

[@ProjectDiaries]

I don't usually keep my plants but I left 4 and they've all started to grow new leaves. It'[s still really cold here though so i'm not sure how long they will take to fruit

[@timothkeyyprice]

Dear sir, regarding touching sensitive parts after handling chilies, wearing rubber gloves is a God send. 😉

[@patmckinney9553]

Loving the chocolate eclair box idea. That’s just saved me £10 buying a proper box online

[@ijazh6790]

Would you recommend putting them in a pot and putting a plastic bag held with an elastic bag over to keep the moisture in. Also I mixed in tea into the soil. This worked with tomato plants.
