ALL Of The Tomatoes And Peppers I Am Growing | 2024 Lineup

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Here is how I save my tomato seeds if you wanted more information. Also, let me know if you guys want me to make a seed saving video this summer, once I actually have things to save seed from! kzbin.infol2hQHNphPSo

[@Trouble_in_TX]

Yes. I would love a video on seed saving.

[@lorilongwell5451]

This is high high praise 🙏 thank you!

[@danfarkas5375]

I respect that you don't just push BI seeds. You're honest about your opinions with your viewers.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

I use what I like and I intend on keeping that going!

[@miss8blu]

agreed!

[@PacificGardening]

Johnny's is a super high quality provider too. Can't go wrong with them.

[@dwrecktheanimal]

Chemist here. The scoville is a fun unit of measure. You take a large batch of 5:1 water:sugar. The scoville is the number of grams of this sugar to eliminate the spicy taste of 1g of blended (seeds, stems, veins and all) pepper. Eg. Bell pepper you only need at most 1g of the sugar water to eliminate the taste. A Fresno is around 3000-5000 scoville, or about 1g of blended pepper would need almost 3-5L of the sugar water so you no longer feel the spice. In practicality then we start to use milligrams of peppers so we only have to drink a few mL of sugar/water. This is one of the few scientific tests you NEED a panel of expert individuals to run the test, as there's no other real way to gauge it. So you can imagine how annoying it must be to test the REALLY spicy fuckers. Also they have to live very minimally spice lifestyles as to not become immune to the spice, and reduce their judgment. Cheers! 🌶️

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

Fascinating! I always wondered how Scoville units were determined. Shout out to the poor souls who torture themselves to make those determinations haha

[@jenniferkvarnes542]

Jacques, your videos are my very favorite on KZbin. You’re relaxed and easy to watch, like hanging out with a friend and gardening mentor, just casually chatting gardening and general knowledge. Just keep doing what you do, it’s such genuine and refreshing content. My daughter and I watch all your videos together and you’ve inspired us and educated us both so much over the past year. Thanks for creating such excellent quality content.

[@tahursh637]

We grew in containers last year, and came across root knot nematodes in the compost. We added neem seed meal, and it took care of them. We planted giant mustard in the compost bin to take care of the others.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

That's awesome, I have been experimenting with neem and crab shell meal as well so hoping to see results like you have.

[@mayasalter1624]

⁠@@jacquesinthegardenDid I miss that video? If not, we need a video Bob Ross! Love your videos and content. 😉

[@rpdx3]

I have one 60 gallon grow bag that has root knot nematodes in it. I usually plant a crop of marigolds in it over winter, then various peppers. Usually works well, though not last year. Maybe I should just get rid of it, or just plant flowers in it. 🤔

[@protectfloridanatives]

All my peppers sprouted! Keep gardening, everyone. (:

[@francestaylor9156]

I start my peppers and tomatoes the first week of March. So I still got a couple of weeks. So excited to get the season started. Zone 7

[@RealBradMiller]

Me in zone 6a with two month old black Hungarian peppers and Jimmy Nardello's. 😶‍🌫️

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Peppers are so slow you can almost never start them too early! When do you get to plant out?

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

I'm Zone 7 as well! Do you presprout your seeds in a wet paper towel?

[@jesswelsh9838]

​@RealBradMiller same here, zone 6a with 8 week old peppers in my house😅

[@thunt10311]

I'm zone 7a Arizona and I started in mid February in starters. And this is my first year with peppers and tomatoes. I normally grow corn, squash, and I had transplant peppers and tomatoes from a friend. Which grew very well. This is my first year from seed.

[@siraspark]

IM HERE SO EARLY FOR THE GARDEN HERMIT!? YESSSSS Thank you youtube notifications! haha

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Praise notifications and you for watching!

[@unything2696]

Here in Germany, we are far away from starting tomatoes. Spinach, Broad Beans, Peas, Salad Greens, Parsley etc., that's where we are right now. Although it's way too warm this year. Tomatoes grow too big inside until you can plant them outside. Or put them outside too early and then a late frost hits them hard. Wait a couple of weeks, they will catch up in no time in the summer. Happy gardening wherever you are.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Tomatoes can really catch up quickly once the weather shifts to their favor. The rest of the selection sounds great

[@aubrey3779]

I would love to see a video on sun-dried peppers and tomatoes if that's a way you like to preserve

[@MrEzekiel1982]

Jacques I love your videos man. Keep following your instincts cuz we’re here for it

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Love to hear this, thanks for the encouraging words

[@j.m.b.greengardens968]

Pepper suggestions - Ají Dulce - all the flavor of a habañero but no heat. They are slow to get going by comparison to other peppers, but make up for it later. They are quite ornamental as well. Available from Southern Exposure seed exchange. Corbaçi - a Turkish sweet cayenne - insanely productive for me. They start out yellow, but I always let them get red ripe. One of the earliest I raise. Ajvarski - said to be from Macedonia and used there for making a condiment known as ajvar. So far that is my favorite sweet pepper for sweet and complex flavor. Let them get red ripe and put them in your shopska salata. (a version of which I eat almost everyday in season) You may well stand up and sing doo dah! Both corbaçi and ajvarski I get from Baker Creek Seeds. Corbaçi I think may be available elsewhere as well. I am living in Central Virginia at this time, but I grew up in Northern New Mexico, so I always raise New Mexico green chile - Big Jim, Joe E. Parker, Sandía Select, and Chimayó. Big Jim and Joe e. Parker can be milder here than in New Mexico, especially when they mature in cooler, damper all weather. Sandīa is a good bit hotter, and tends to maintain that heat. I do the traditional thing and roast them when they are green - that's about the only thing I use my charcoal grill for. What I am not going to eat right away, I put in labeled bags in the freezer with no further preparation. They peel very easily when they are still mostly frozen. I would think that would work well for preserving sweet peppers as well. To get the desired heat, I mix the Big Jim/Joe E. Parker with the Sandía as needed. The Chimayó chiles are mostly for drying red ripe for use in red sauces. I get those seeds from Sandía Seeds.

[@missyl9013]

I got the Cream Sausage tomato this year and can't wait to try it! I'm trying to grow more determinate varieties.

[@RealBradMiller]

Right? I think dealing with the bulk of the fruit at one time will help. I always get burned out on defending tomatoes, keeping them picked, and want to do with the fruit.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Determinate tomatoes are always great to have around for actually cooking and making stuff. I always have some in the garden for that bonus harvest

[@elizabethmilward8301]

I put warmth-requiring seeds on top of the LED light for my lizard tank. This works surprisingly well for things like basil, so I haven't bothered getting a dedicated heat mat.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Oh actually that's a test use of passive heat anyways!

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

I do the same thing with the pilot lights of the gas oven and stove. We haven't gotten around to replacing them yet, so in the meantime, it's a good use of the heat.

[@elizabethmilward8301]

@@jacquesinthegarden I figured if it ain't broke, don't spend money to buy the official thing. I'm starting a lot of stuff this year, so I suspect that light is going to do substantially more than light my gecko's viv this year. Basil, tomatoes, peppers, cucurbits...

[@ashbaker4068]

Last year was my first time veggie gardening and I grew two tomato varieties. This year… I’m trying about a dozen 😅 including Cherokee Purple and Sun Gold, per your repeated recommendations! I’m so excited to taste them!

[@courtney2878]

Cherokee purple are soooo yummy. Enjoy (:

[@_lariel]

Hello from Ukraine! Lesya pepper is a variety originating from our country and it shouldn't have any spiciness to it. It is really very, very sweet, probably not the sweetest one in the world, but pretty much close to it :) Probably you had the seeds that were cross-pollinated with some spicy variety. If you like sweet peppers you should definitely search for real Lesya, you won't regret it!

[@andrewhayes2773]

Yay. I have a couple of Sugar Rush Peach peppers growing right now. I haven’t grown it before.

[@eseelert]

Leysa Peppers are a 10/10 for sweet peppers - you are so right about them having the thickest walls. I was shocked at how thick last year. Mine weren't spicy but they are definitely on my must grow list every year (hoping my singular plant overwinters). Mad Hatter is my ALL TIME fave pepper. I always have seeds at the SD seed swap haha...I have 3 overwintered plants that produce hundreds of peppers and I LOVE them. for reference: I'm in San Diego Zone 10B.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Mad hatter seems to absolutely love our climate which is great for us as well! The leysa pepper also thickness is so wild, very satisfying crunch.

[@amyk6028]

Thanks for another great video! I’m also growing Big Beef and Lemon Boy this year. This is my 4th year growing Lemon Boy. It’s one of my favorite full size yellow tomatoes! It’s very delicious 🤤

[@dianaweatherford5005]

You posted this 1 day ago and I've already watched it 2.5 times! I love this kind of vid, what you're planting and why. I based much of my seed shopping on your experience, which is unfortunate for my wallet since I'm up to 15 varieties of tomato 🍅😅 but I love them! I'm also growing shishitos because of you and my whole family loves them! Keep sharing!

[@courtneycullen6289]

I just finished planting my peppers, tomatoes have another few weeks to a month. I am so into a hot sauce I made based on the fermented sriracha recipe using red jalapenos and fish peppers. I had it on eggs this morning and its delish. I cannot wait!

[@Just_A_Name14]

Tomatoes do better in colder weather than peppers. Why plant peppers first?

[@francestaylor9156]

@@Just_A_Name14- you start pepper seedlings first because they can take forever to germinate compared to tomatoes. Especially if you don’t have a heat mat.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Peppers can take a very long time to size up and grow slowly so it's always ideal to start them first!

[@jacquesinthegarden]

I love fermented hot sauce it has such a unique flavor profile and complexity. I also love that every batch is unique based on the mix of peppers you use

[@waterbitten]

I tried starting seeds a few months ago for the 1st time and it turns out i dont enjoy seed starting at all, so im going to stick to seedlings. To be clear, I do enjoy watching yourself and Eric start seeds :)

[@jacquesinthegarden]

That's totally reasonable! The main draw is variety so if you can fill what you need then it does simplify life to just go with seedlings 🙌

[@theoneandonly1158]

You are missing out on amazing varieties that you will never find anywhere else as seedlings. Growing from seed is a huge learning curve. Huge. It will take you years to understand AND you'll still kill seedlings on accident. So if you go at it as fun then it will be. But if you start all worried and serious. It will be a horrendous experience.

[@waterbitten]

@theoneandonly1158 worried and serious is exactly how I started maybe I try again sometime.

[@israels1inger]

My friend in college did an experiment with coffee husk as a ground over. It seemed to reduce the amount of root knot nematodes in the soil affecting the plants.

[@boothgoodies6348]

Loving all the education on how to use the produce in the kitchen

[@annmc3878]

We grow Granadero. We also grow Plum Regal which is similar to Granadero.

[@ErraticPerfectionist]

Oh man. Every time I watch you and Kevin planting seeds, I can't help browsing seed websites and dreaming what I might grow next Spring/Summer 😆 Unfortunately being from Down Under, we're in the tail end of our summer now, so it's a long wait until I can plant tomatoes, capsicums and eggplants 😅

[@ChaosKLC]

This year for me I took 4 seeds from a bunch of new (to me) varieties and mixed them together! I'm excited because of the surprise! I normally plant the usual suspects, but needed a fun change of pace this year

[@jacquesinthegarden]

That's why I love random volunteer plants, so hard to get rid of them!

[@nkotowsk]

Got some Roma, sun gold, jalapeños, and basil planted in the last few days. In Arizona. Tried to get them in early because the heat will eventually kill the tomatoes and trying to get what I can before summer.

[@francestaylor9156]

Have you tried shade cloth?

[@jacquesinthegarden]

That Arizona heat is no joke, what a unique climate to grow in

[@nkotowsk]

@francestaylor9156 I will put up shade cloth, but last July we were 110⁰+ every day for the whole month, and don't think it matters after a while. I actually have a large patio umbrella positioned next to the raised bed now to ease the seedlings' transition from my kitchen window to full sun.

[@katyalupochev9589]

I left a comment on your other video, but just in case you didn’t see it: I read a study that neem Cake(powdered) added to soil at 1% volume caused a 70-90% reduction in root knot lesions in affected tomato plants. Might be worth looking into for your root knot bed! Maybe an experiment? I should add it is a general nematocide so it isn’t a good idea if you plan to use any beneficial nematodes in your garden this year!

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

He says in the video that he's already done that...

[@jacquesinthegarden]

I think I did read that and I have been spreading neem cake and crab shell meal for that reason! I am not going to bother with the beneficials for basically that reason!

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

There are several types of garden mushrooms that eat nematodes, including wine caps and oysters. If you already have wine caps growing in your woodchips, consider propagating them into the areas where you're having nematode problems.

Happy growing to all! ✨ Jacque thank you for the inspiration to try growing purple tamitillos again this year. Had no success germinating last year in zone 10a 👎🏼 however, I just added some seeds to my starting tray so thank you. :)

[@jacquesinthegarden]

I totally forgot the tomatillos I need to start some up! Just make sure you have at least two plants for pollination.

[@shampoo7112]

Nice video! Our favorite tomatoes are Lemon Boy, Black Cherry and Honeycomb Hybrid. If you find the Lemon Boy plus too sweet, you might like the original Lemon Boy better, sweet but also tangy.

I grew lemon boy and LOVED 'em ... still have some cut and frozen in the freezer for pomodoro sauce ... yummy!

[@kapstersmusic]

Great selection! I love Sungolds. It sounds strange but Sungold plants smell sweeter than almost any tomato plant. I've been growing them for around 20 years now. I can tell a Sungold plant by smell alone. I would also recommend Islander purple sweet bell peppers. They are fantastic producers here in the PNW. They turn from green to purple, and then get splotches of red and eventually some gold.

[@jacquesinthegarden]

Oh that's super interesting I will give my tomatoes a sniff when I plant them out!

[@KK-FL]

I just put my 9-week old tomatoes in the ground 2 days ago but I still like seeing what varieties you are growing. Peppers I will wait another couple of weeks to put in to make sure night temperatures are staying warm enough.

I just started my tomato seeds 🥰 found this cool sounding pink hybrid tomato I’m excited to grow. Also my first year trying to grow bell peppers

[@Gardeningchristine]

Not sure where you are but I get one small harvest on the bell peppers in early summer, then they just languish in the heat for a couple months, then I get a large harvest in the fall. Usually no more than 5-6 peppers per plant total. I’m growing some smaller sweet yellow peppers because they seem to produce more and more consistently throughout the summer. Good luck growing the bells! I hope you have more luck with them than I’ve had!

[@Queenofpony]

@@Gardeningchristine I’m in a 6a location 🤔 I’m only able to use pots rn cause I’m in apartments so maybe they’ll do well if I move them into shade during the hottest part of the days?

[@Gardeningchristine]

@@Queenofpony that would definitely work, but it would be a lot of work. You could just move them where they get partial shade. That way they might produce during the hottest part of the summer. I’m in 6B/7A this year, and I’ve tried for three years, but the smaller peppers seem to produce more for me either way. Good luck and have fun. It’s not necessarily about how many peppers you get but how much fun you have growing them!

[@jacquesinthegarden]

That's awesome, I love trying new varieties and that sounds like a fun one

💔 Root knot nematodes. I’ve been fighting them for a while now. Neem cake didn’t help much last year but I’m going to try it differently this year. I’m going to use it like compost tea (soak, ferment, dilute, water the ground before planting). Other good plants to put in there after you see a problem are arugula and mustards. I’m also (in a desperate attempt) trialing grafting a couple heirloom varieties onto rootstocks of a resistant hybrid. I subscribed so I can see how it goes for you. I pray you’re able to crack the code!

[@elisabetk2595]

I grew Big Beef Plus last year and was really happy with the taste, and it was probably the most productive tomato I had. Lot of tomato sandwiches! Also at the recommendation of fellow community gardeners, the Cream Sausage which was really great. Although it's determinate, it had one of the longer production windows in our Central Texas heat. Don't know if it was just that plant or variety trait. Luckily I can buy transplants at the big sale our garden holds at the beginning of March, 70 varieties this year, most of which are impossible to get otherwise except as seeds.

I finally broke down and got some Sungold seeds to see what all of the fuss is about. It's still about a month or so until I start them, but my peppers are already going! You aren't kidding with the heat mat on peppers, I have almost complete germination!

Hey Jacques! Have you tried introducing predatory nematodes to your garden to help with your nematode issue? They can be a bit pricey, but can really help with pest nematodes, as well as grubs and a variety of other soil-dwelling pests. I got mine at Arbico last season and haven't seen any signs of nematode damage or grubs since!

[@jacquesinthegarden]

I have tried it a few times but I think my dry climate makes it hard for them to establish. This year I am going with amendments like neem cake and crab shell meal as well as planting much more French marigolds. Maybe next year if it is still an issue I will try to get the timing right and apply

It does make for some weird looking canned tomatoes through the winter though 😂😂. Doing 11 tomatoes this year. Usually I buy my plants, but this year I’m starting from seed!

Do you have a video on your hot pepper sauce if not we would love to see that

Thank you for sharing all your choices with us :) I really want to try the candy cane pepper. Last year I grew a sweet chocolate pepper. The reason i like it so much was it tasted like a red pepper but i didnt have to wait for it to go through all the color changes. It was also an early riper for me which is great since i have a short growing season. Cant wait to see you trying all those new tomatoe varieties and seeing your feed back on them. Your pepper and tomaroes selection is always great! Happy growing!

If you intend to save seeds from your peppers, pay attention to the species of each variety and keep members of the same species separate. Capsicum annum includes the large, milder varieties, like bell, shishito, cubanelle, and poblano. Capsicum baccatum includes all of the Aji varieties, like sugar rush and lemon drop. Capsicum chinense includes the wrinkly, hotter peppers, all the way to the superhots like Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Scorpion. You can plant members of different species in the same area, but the different planting areas should be about 50 ft / 15 m apart if you don't want them to cross breed.

I took a microbiology course and learned about a certain edible carnivorous mushroom species that encapsulates and consumes nematodes, I forget what the species was but do remember I found spores for sale. Maybe something to look into!

I just started a bunch of peppers this week. You reminded me that I forgot to start Shishito peppers! I’m interested in growing plants for teas, lately. So far I’m enjoying Calendula, Marigold and Lemongrass tea. I plan on growing Hyssop and Camomile this year. Any suggestions?

[@dryflyjake]

Do you grow dwarf tomatoes these days? I remember seeing them in your previous videos and I'm curious why or why not. Thanks!

[@jacquesinthegarden]

I probably will grow some for the summer container selection. Now I don't have as much container area so I haven't started up new seeds yet. To me they are still the ultimate container type!

[@dryflyjake]

@@jacquesinthegarden Thanks Jacques! I grew 5 different dwarf tomatoes last year in 10 gallon grow bags and they did pretty well here in Southwest Montana. Our growing season is short and it seems the smaller plants matured a bit more quickly. I just ordered four new vanities this week and am looking forward to getting back in the garden. Really appreciate all your content and advice!

[@l0tus.Fl0wer]

Stop holding out on us Jacques!! We need more content lol

[@ROGERSHERIFF]

Do you ever sell your harvest? Possibly at a farmers market.
