On the advice of an older central European woman I started planting my peppers about a foot apart rather than 18". She said the leaves of the plants should touch each other as flowering begins.Planting them a bit closer than 18 increased my fruit production A LOT. The Habaneros looked like fully decorated Christmas trees as the peppers ripened through their colors. Most people would say my plants looked crowded.... but man o man did they produce. All varieties,,, bells , habs, jalapeno, thai. Also I run my pole beans along the west garden fence which provides the semi shade in the afternoon

[@LloydieP]

Thank you!!

[@TJ-bu9zk]

I did the same thing. I planted 6 hungarian banana peppers in the space you might reccomend 3-4 plants.... wayyyy to many peppers. It was a chore to pick they were exploding with pepers late into the season.

I plant both my tomatoes and peppers closer together like this. It works well for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@kristagagean2011]

I wintered my peppers without realizing it a few years ago I had one in a potted plant from a season prior and I kept it in doors and kept it alive it was down to next to no leaves and I thought it was dead but it was sleeping and come the spring put it in the window and it bounced back fiercely and ended up giving me quite a few peppers so I definitely like that idea.

1. Planted too early 2. Not enough sun or too much 3. Improper spacing 18 inches spacing preference 4. Improper watering Water from below and gently 5. Using the wrong fertiliser Very sensitive to nitrogen 6. Not pruning them If you don't prune them it will be tall and produce less growth points 7. Not staking them 8. Not continually harvesting 9. Not keeping on top of pests Spray with neem oil or aspirin 60ml of uncoated aspirin in a cup of water in a blender add to a gallon of water then spray 10. Not over wintering

[@ELBlDu]

I always prune off the bottom branches up the stem about 4 inches kept clear. IF they produce fruit, they break off every time and can tear. Sun Scald can also be caused from LOW CALCIUM/Magnesium. I add Cal/Mg weekly to Liquid fertilizer. (q7-10 days unless temp over 100) Peppers, tomaotes, potatoes are all nightshade, and can get BER with low calcuim uptake when soil dries out repeated time and cannot absorb nutrients.

[@robertbookwalter9376]

I'm over 70 and I remember my granddad telling me when I was very young and allowed to help in the garden to never plant tomatoes anywhere near a walnut tree and I always followed that rule. Glad to hear that you agree. Thank you.

[@jeanshamsi4358]

I transplanted dozens of black walnut trees at the back of my property to make a natural high wall. Delicious nuts too. And little invades that wall. My garden is about 20 feet away, no problems at that distance. Walnut oil is very good to preserve wood too.

[@yongcommins9084]

[@Valchrist1313]

"Walnuts and butternuts produce a compound called juglone that is toxic to many other plants. Tomatoes and other members of the nightshade family are particularly susceptible. They can wilt suddenly when in contact with juglone from the roots, husks or uncomposted leaves of the walnut tree. The walnut tree's roots can extend beyond the dripline of the tree, so even if the tomatoes are not planted directly under the tree, they can absorb juglone exuded by the roots."

Great advice. I had a lot of peppers in pots over the winter. I had to bring them into a little greenhouse eventually. For the summer I put them in a group under Live Oaks to prevent sun scald. They did beautifully with tons of fruit. I'm sort of a bunch grower now. I've been concentrating on one type of plant. Two years ago it was all basil .I am still eating home made Pesto.

Sigh. Socially distancing my plants is so hard. I always want to pack things in cuz I have a small space. But i try 😁

[@GreenLove1]

I have a tip for you - plant them in 1-gallon size pots individually (with big holes at the bottom for the roots to grow through. Then bury them in the ground or in some soil in a tote. That way you can plant them closer together and the pot they are in will ensure they're getting the fertilizer you add. Bonus - earthworms like to collect under plastic pots and they will generate fertilizer for each individual pepper plant!

[@GreenLove1]

@Robert Shorthill sorry about your Pepper misfortune. I am doing a side by side test of identical plants, and am realizing that pruning success has soooo many variables, your growing environment and climate, the time of year, the size of the plant, the variety of pepper, etc etc. For me, pruning has so far not made a conclusive difference. It has consistently set the plants growth back by a couple of weeks, but they have typically caught up. The unpruned twin on the other hand develops a firm main stalk and then sends out side shoots - same effect as pruning. Well, for me, pruning seems to not make a significant enough positive difference, so I won't be doing it going forward. Will of course do a final conclusion at the end of the growing season.

Same here. I trim them way back and mulch them heavily in case of a freeze. My experience was great the second year, but it didn’t do as well the third year. There were more pests and they were less productive. It did work better than the time I brought them indoors for the winter. They got aphids as soon as I took them back out in the spring.

[@dogslobbergardens6606]

Over-wintering peppers indoors is great, just remember to harden them off to direct sunlight again in the spring before leaving them outside full-time. It may seem like not much is happening for a couple weeks, but once that small established rootball settles in and starts growing they'll take off nicely, either in containers or beds.

[@TJ-bu9zk]

Its a nice idea, but às far as saving work.... i think i`ll stick to replanting seeds in the spring rather than plucking, digging up and having to manage the plant over winter. I don`t see how thats less work.

One thing here in New Mexico we do is plant them extremely close together. They like to hold hands in our exceptionally hot weather in Southern New Mexico and helps protect them from sunburn. We had a surprise snow in October that took out a lot of my pepper plants and then we got an exceptionally deep snow with multiple days of freezing weather so I will be starting over. But my pepper bed has a lot of pods that have fallen so that's OK. When thing I did 2 years ago is cross a mad hatter pepper with a mild yellow banana pepper and last year I got some great results from that I'm hoping to repeat it this year. They were not only beautiful they tasted fantastic.

[@Cerceify]

Your being in New Mexico made me think of Jalapenos. A friend gave me two jars of jalapeno peppers with green and red mild peppers. almost like a relish but longer bits of pepper. The brine was almost like the sweetness of Bread and Butter Pickles. Maybe onion in it also. It makes a beautiful mild relish. I may try making my own next year.

I love growing peppers! Keep in mind that pruning peppers is great for Long growing seasons like yours in California. My growing zone however is zone 5 so pruning shortens my growing season even more so its counter productive in my case. HOWEVER, if I plan to over winter a favorite variety, I can go ahead and prune it to get it thick and bushy.

[@pulver117]

People, search for a video called "Don't Prune Your Peppers". While he only tests this one variety, he shows that while you may get more peppers, they will be smaller and thinner skinned and overall weight of harvest can actually be less than if you didn't prune. Also, many of your hotter varieties like habaneros, naturally branch out more than your milder or sweet peppers.

Aye carumba…… I’m making a few mistakes! Thanks for the clear info! Looks like I need to either change locations or add shade cloth. I did purchase the Neptune products and did a feeding today.

I live in South Africa. Areas like this, everyone tends to stick with tradition and never changes, which can be challenging! Love your videos, learnt so much. And as your climate is similar, I just add 6 months!

Thank you for those tips. Now I know why my peppers usually do so poorly. Especially appreciated Info on phosphorus, pinching off tops and afternoon shading.

So...I live in southwest Florida. So over all the northern blogs. My nights are 80 degrees. 95 during the day with 100% humidity

Now I wish we had overnight temps in the low 60s

Hi, thank you for this very clear instructions on how to grow and care for sweet paprikas, its my first time to grow paprikas and so far they are growing well in a small container and ready to be transferred to a bigger pots. Your video has given enough courage on DO's & DON'Ts.

Thanks Brian, for the tip on over-wintering. I live in the UK and we do get snow and ice so it was good to know that peppers can be perennial, given the right conditions during the coldest months.

Also the best way to get them to drop pollen is to add a small fan to your grow room or just tap the flowers and you'll see pollen drop. I collect the pollen and cross pollinate other plants :)

Now I know the issues w/my peppers. I get those brown spots but had no idea what caused that problem. Again, your videos are so helpful. My tomatoes rock cause of the aspirin spray I learned from you. I also started using Neptunes Harvest because of your videos and it’s a great product. Thanks as always Brian.

Thank you for all of your tips. Between you and one other youtuber I have learned a lot about gardening and understand some things I did wrong and some things I can do better. Thank you again!

I should have watched your videos during the winter to be ready for this growing season. First year container gardening. Not a total failure but very limited harvest. Watching now and taking notes for next year.
