[@lalalafevers]

Yes sir!! That's awesome. We have had horrible luck ordering hot pepper seeds & gettin crap seeds. Glad you found a reliable source! :-)

[@webcajun]

+Carolyn LaFevers What I didn’t say in the video was the last year with the right peppers I had saved a medicine bottle full of seeds. Of course the following year I couldn’t find em. :-) ……Donald

[@webcajun]

+Michael Plesch Hey Michael, checked on em today, nothing up yet.....Donald

[@dgreen97]

I was just thinking about you and wondering if you were okay. Glad to see your smiling face! I just feel my dad when I see you. You could be twins. Always nice to see you and thank you for another great video, Don.

[@webcajun]

+dgreen97 Yes still around and still kicking. Starting seeds is something I’ve always enjoyed, like this time of the year…..Donald

[@Shaggerally]

I live in NB,Canada and grew some this past year,they didn't point up though strangely enough and I only got 8 or 9 peppers all summer,gonna try some from seed on my windowsill this winter that is rapidly approachling,already had one snowstorm already.

[@webcajun]

They do really well down here in Louisiana making a ton of peppers all summer long…..Donald

[@micheleclifford5184]

Thank you for the informative video. I now know what type of pepper I have

[@czyhrs]

Mr Donald , thank you sir for another good video.It sure does sound like those are the real deal.Thank you for The Bayou Gardener.I enjoyed the video and hope you and yours have a good 2016.

[@webcajun]

+czyhrs I sure hope they are. It’s been too long since we’ve had em. Hope you have a good season too…..Donald

[@SonniesGardenPA]

Good luck! Happy Gardening!

[@webcajun]

+Sonnie's Garden You too.....Donald

[@kuriouskat1490]

Hey Donald, I just showed my husband your video, specifically your rack with the shop light and heating pad. I don' t have a green house either so I need your setup. My husband wants to use LEDs. And I like your technique in the pots planting on the diagonal. I've been planting 1 seed in each corner. 'Thank you for the video !

[@webcajun]

+Kurious Kat I usually plant one in the center and a few in a circle around the center. This season I thoughtI’d change things up a bit. A heated greenhouse would be ideal but we have to work with what we have……Donald

[@vincentlanoiselet4243]

Nice to see your first 2016 video Donald. I've never tried this variety of pepper. I'll give them a try as my bell peppers never produce big and numerous fruits. Cheers.

[@webcajun]

+Vince 6424 They are not real big, about the size of a banana pepper.  They have a mild heat and are good stuffed with just about anything…..Donald

[@vincentlanoiselet4243]

Thanks Donald. I needed to place my seed order for mustard green today so I also ordered hot Hungarian wax and Marconi red. Cheers and lache pas.

[@gardeningplus7271]

Hi,u have a big farm Donald I think is good idea to put up a greenhouse ,u get lots of benefit out of it,im growing mu things on the very small yard 25x25 feet I do ok with elevated beds and very little sun since the house is facing north,and I grow lots of peppers in pots,long story short,i think greenhouse is the best my friend I enjoy all of ur videos,thx Bob:)

[@webcajun]

+GARDENING PLUS Hey Bob ... I agree a small greenhouse would come in handy, just can't get around very well anymore so it's probably not in my future......Donald

[@gbparn]

Thank you, Mr. D. Looking forward to some great 2016 garden vlogs.

[@webcajun]

+gbparn You're very welcome.....Donald

[@9aspengold5]

Good to see you. Looking forward to more video's and instructions. I have learned much from you.

[@webcajun]

+9aspengold5 Glad you find the videos helpful.....Donald

[@midwestkatie4]

Thank you, Mr. Donald, and we hope to see some great pepper recipes in the fall!

[@webcajun]

+MidWest Katie It’s been too long since we’ve had em in the garden. Looking forward to throwing some on the pit this summer......Donald

[@westmantooth210]

Hope they turn out good. I am big fan of exotic fruits and vegetables.

[@webcajun]

+DaFallenFew Keeping my fingers crossed. :-) .....Donald

[@clintfulton221]

Thanks for sharing

[@webcajun]

+Clint Fulton Glad you enjoyed the video and thank you.....Donald

[@nevermore4971]

Hi Donald I hope you all are safe! I was praying for you guys last night during those storms. I live in Pa. And we had a few thunderstorms in our area nothing serious but out east in Lancaster they had a tornado. Hope you are all ok!

[@webcajun]

+nancy miller Hey Nancy, we got a little rain and wind but nothing serious in the immediate area. A little farther south they were hit hard by tornadoes. Glad yall are ok…..Donald

[@Anthony15481]

Wow Donald! It's nice to see that you have your peppers started so early! I won't be starting my peppers here in Central New Mexico for about another week or two due to late frosts that do occur here in May. Hope you're doing well btw! and Happy Gardening! :)

[@webcajun]

+Anthony Valdez Hey Anthony, we’ve had a very mild winter, I may get fooled but thinking of transplanting a little earlier this season. Got plenty extras so if a frost does kill em, they’ll be replaced. Hope you have a good season…..Donald

[@Anthony15481]

+webcajun That's what I do as well, I make sure I plant more than enough plants so that way I know I'll have some extras left in case the frost takes some of em. -Happy Gardening! -Anthony :)

[@CraigArndt]

I've had the same thing happen to me but in reverse. Thought I was buying sweet banana peppers, they turned out to be hungarian hot peppers. My kids were helping me pick them, they both wound up rubbing their eyes and nose. We had two screaming crying little kids. Well, lesson learned.

[@webcajun]

+Craig Arndt They do look a lot like banana peppers, hard to tell the difference......Donald

[@chrisfry7915]

Glad to know they point up. I have been getting the wrong peppers a few years now and they don't go red ever. Hope they are great for you.

[@webcajun]

+chris fry Hopefully this fall I'll have some seeds to share.....Donald

[@chrisfry7915]

Thanks! I'll keep my ears open then. :)

[@jus4funtim]

As a backup sprinkle a few into a wet sheet of paper towel folded over and place them in a ziplock baggy. keep these in the house where it's warmer, it won't need any light, peak into it in three days to a week and you'll guarantee yourself some plants. Good luck.

[@webcajun]

+jus4funtim Thanks for the tip, just may do that.....Donald

[@vincentlanoiselet4243]

+webcajun I've tried this method last spring and it does work but it took longer than 3 days for germination to occur.

[@jus4funtim]

Vince 6424 Some seeds "lettuce" will germinate in 3 - 4 days while others can take up to 3 weeks. you need to keep an eye on them so they don't go too long and rot in the bag and you catch them right when they sprout. If the seed pack says "germination 5 -10 days and you have waited 20 chances are you have bad seed and you didn't waste any lights or heating pad to find out, and when they all sprout you get to pick the healthiest sprouts and are able to plant one plant per cell so there's no thinning out needed and you know you've got a good plant. Happy Gardening and hope everyone has a good harvest in 2016

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

I sure hope that you finally found the "real deal" Donald. I bought another pack, this time from Vesey Seeds and will be giving them a try this year. Best of luck to both of us! Chuck

[@demetriuspowell29]

Try Johnny seeds or baker Creek/rare seeds

[@joetiller1031]

Donald I am a pepper lover if yours work I might ask you for a few seeds, glad to see you still at it take care.

[@webcajun]

+Joe Tiller Hey Joe, love those Wax Peppers. Just the right amount of heat, not bad stuffed and produce like mad…...Donald

[@chadrhode779]

Good luck!

[@webcajun]

+Chad Rhode Thanks....Donald

[@Catesgarden]

Very nice! We're getting an early start over here too (as usual).

[@webcajun]

+Cate's Garden Normally I start my tomatoes and peppers a little later but decided on something a little different this year.....Donald

[@markw2521]

I am assuming you got those seeds from Scott. I am wondering if you can share where Scott sourced those seeds.

[@webcajun]

+Mark W Not sure where he got them from originally. These are seeds he saved from last year’s crop....Donald

[@whommee]

been wanting to try those peppers. I never grew them. Look forward to see how they turn out.

[@webcajun]

+nate Checked on em the other day, not up yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.....Donald

[@whommee]

I am gonna find me some seed and try them out. Maybe, Hopefully, I will be getting the right seeds.

[@cornhuskerhorrorcollector6004]

I got a question? I have this light that hangs over my table, could I use this to sow my seeds? Have have a picture of the lamp if you want to see it.

[@webcajun]

+CornHusker Haunter Go to my website (for my email address) and send some pics of your setup. Website address is in the video description ….Donald

[@angeladaniel6668]

Hey Donald, This is Lynn from Arkansas again. Just wanted to ask you how many tomato plants you put in a single basket? Also wanted to know how much calcium nitrate you use per plant? Good Luck Gardening This Year!!!!! Thank You

[@webcajun]

+Angela Daniel I’m going to assume that by basket you mean tomato cage, which would be one plant per cage. As to fertilizer recommendations go to my website and there you’ll find the information you’re looking for….Donald

[@angeladaniel6668]

+webcajun Thank you Donald

[@galegregory97comcast]

god bless hope all is well

[@webcajun]

+Gale Gregory Doing good, looking forward to the spring garden. Hope you have a good season.....Donald

[@arkansastrash320]

Hi Mr.Donald I love jalapenos pickled.Are those Hungarian wax peppers very hot? would you say they are as hot as jalapeno or more hot like cayenne??

[@webcajun]

+N.E.Arkansas Trash Trucks&Lottery Very mild, not very hot at all which is why I like em. A lot less than a mild jalapeno…..Donald

[@arkansastrash320]

+webcajun I see I may have to try them thanks paul

[@shartne]

good deal.

[@webcajun]

+shartne Yes.....Donald

[@Tyrashabrooks]

Hey web Cajun is it OK to start pepper seeds now

[@webcajun]

You want to start peppers at least 8 weeks before transplanting so yes, start them now......Donald

[@sandynystrom5344]

how are your peppers doing for you?

[@webcajun]

+Sandy Nystrom A few came up a few didn’t. It was my fault though, didn’t keep the top of the soil moist enough. Good news is all I need is a few plants because these things really produce…..Donald

[@shonjuan11]

+webcajun New sub here (from the Great NorthWest! Keep us posted, por favor. Because I want the REAL DEAL.

[@Tyrashabrooks]

Did you start these seeds in January

[@webcajun]

Yes I did......Donald

[@Tyrashabrooks]

Thanks

[@Tyrashabrooks]

I just started some red bell peppers tonight thanks again
