"I got so much rings of fires in differend places " had me on the floor 😂😂😂

[@Saladgirl123]

This video really made me chuckle, it sounded just like me when I"m tackling a big project! We could almost hear you verbalising your exact thought processes as they occured, and what really made me laugh was, "I 'could' read the instructions but I'm actually just basing it all on vibes!" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@JBNat]

hahaha perfect, that is what I try to do!

[@Chattyman2]

Bath tubs are great for making into carnivorous plant bog gardens.

[@magpie1492]

Haha, you have problems. I potted up 50 chillies and peppers yesterday into their final pots. I am dancing around the garden finding places for them 😂

[@JBNat]

50! absolutely dreamy. I'm not actually sure how many I have this year. Possibly around 40?

[@PacificGardening]

Back to back days with JB videos?!?!

[@JBNat]

We've been on holiday over the weekend so I got a few pre-loaded and ready to go whilst we were away! 😊

[@freckles2437]

❤ Looking good JB, just started to put mine into the greenhouse 🤞. Jo Devon 🙂

[@juliehartley3652]

Your chilli empire looks great - so many chillies - and yes they are looking good aren't they?

[@JBNat]

Very happy this year!

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi JB, will be interesting to see how they grow throughout the season. Thanks for sharing and take care 😊

[@Carol-oc7mx]

Appart from the chillis rhere doesn't seem to be much planting in the raised beds you have made. Perhaps we need a plot tour PLEEEEEEEEASE 😁

[@JBNat]

Yes Carol definitely still lots of empty beds. A mixture of me being a bit lax to get a few things out but mostly just the seedlings still being slow from our grey grey spring. I think by the end of May it will be starting to really fill up!

[@PreatorRaszagal]

Feels like you probably should put them directly in the divider instead of the 1 liter pots so they grow as big as tours while in the dividers? Haha "turn into a chillihouse" 😄What did you do to your index finger? 😱I agree that potting up always seem to take much longer than you think hehe. My plants look so tiny compared to yours, but then I remember that (apart from 2 or 3) mine are all Chinense, and if I compare my Chinense with yours they are about the same! Phew! 🤣Will be fun to see how all the experiment turns out in the JB Chilli Empire this season!

[@JBNat]

oh yes poor explanation by me again, I didn't leave them in the 1 litre pots as well! Well spotted on my finger, I sliced it open on the bathtub at the end of filming my chilli guide 😂 I cut the expletives too hahaha. Nothing serious though thankfully.

[@BumblebeeAdventure]

🐝Thanks for the great video🌻

[@stevieb6173]

why not just raise the bathtub onto tressles or make a frame for it to sit on 👍👍 chilli pepper empire and an evil little laugh at the end ,, love it

[@DadsPassedDownPlot]

Thanks for another great video

[@allison5363]

hi jb i am using the easy grow autopots for my tomatoes this year looking fowards to a bumper crop x

[@marilynstanbury5098]

Interesting video, glad you know what you are doing! You remind me of my potting up of tomatoes ! What mix of compost do you use ? Always enjoy your videos as you are so cheerful even when down, if you know what I mean. Thanks

[@JBNat]

Thank you so much! I discuss the potting mix recipe at the end of the last chilli guide video :) It's timestamped in the description, so easy to jump to

[@LucRom-kz5uw]

thans Good video jb the chilli pepers the poten men Good weekend fried 🌱😋🍹🌤🌸🌶

[@KellyWoodroffe]

How good are you feeling after seeing ChilliChump's garden update?! Your chillies are flying this year

[@JBNat]

It made me do a little smile but I know for sure his expertise & care for his plants will win out come the end of the season! Not to mention his custom irrigation perfection 😁

[@KellyWoodroffe]

@@JBNat time will tell I suppose but they are looking great

[@JoesPatch]

👍🌱🌶️🙂

[@user-sn1bh4cc2k]

Hi JB - have you switched compost from Sylvagrow to something else? Interested to understand why, and what you are using for this potting up stage. I have had great results from Sylvagrow so far and all my early superhots are now in their final pot sizes with Sylvagrow as the main compost component.

[@JBNat]

Nope, still using Sylvagrow as my main growing medium! I have started a compost trial with other bags too though, just to see how things do :)

[@mags9536]

Do you have to replace the capillary matting each season or can you just wash it??

[@stewartw7302]

It is recommended that they are renewed every year. However, I didn’t know this to start with and used them again the following year. End result, the water wasn’t lifted as well, leaving the pots slightly under watered. I now renew every year and cut my own from bulk capillary matting.

[@mags9536]

Oh OK. Better get ordering more. Thanks​@@stewartw7302

[@JBNat]

At the end of the season mine look more like plant roots than capillary matting so they're not very re-usable!

[@rubiccube8953]

Now where’s that Carolina Reaper?

[@JBNat]

Ha! Not doing those this year! I do have a 7pot primo though 😉
