Excellent video. You need to update your amazon links.. they are not linking any more.

[@thomasashe2681]

The Millennial Gardener, do you have any recommendations for organic fertilizers?

[@thomasashe2681]

What about Fox Farms?

[@ShwetaSingh-xk6vk]

Maybe it is a generational thing but your data led recommendations is the best. I enjoy all the gardeners who post videos. However, I enjoy the clear way you provide directions and recommendations and always backed with experience and data. It’s a lot of work, so thank you for your efforts. It’s appreciated.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Thank you. It's a lot of effort to put these videos together because it usually takes 2-3 weeks worth of filming, but I find it's most helpful to show people the "after" results. Otherwise, it's difficult to verify if it's good advice. I appreciate your recognition!

[@danielthomason5685]

Amen to this

[@synergy2222]

@The Millennial Gardener I was just going to write the same sentiment as Shweta. You are so clear, concise, and meticulous even down to the way we need to pick the pepper. I'm first time gardening and doing it in containers in case I've got to move veggies around so I get the hang of what plant likes what location. Thank you so much for your hard work to educate us. I must say you've got to have the toughest knees as you're always bent down teaching us right from wrong. You should use an affiliate link for knee pads. Trust me, I'm 66 and you'll regret it if you don't go more easy on yourself 😉 Dale is a gem, would like to see more of him outside in the garden.... if he behaves and doesn't go hog wild playing in the plants!

I have pepper plants that are 4 years old. I live in Texas so it's easy to keep them going here. This was great information - I planted late this year and am having some trouble getting everything fully grown. Then I need to bloom boost like crazy!

[@PepperGuru]

2:04 You're getting warmer! I started out trying to manipulate npk ratios, thinking at first the tired old myth of "higher N earlier and lower N later" then went into "less N all the time and more P K throughout" and finally, after fighting capsicum for 20+ years. I've learned the long hard lesson. Balanced NPK values with increasing dosage as more biomass is produced. That's the capsicum sweet spot.

[@HamCubes]

Pepper plants are also beautiful, especially when covered in blossoms. Their origin as a New World tropical plant is obvious when you see their exotic-looking flowers.

My husband and I traveled to the southeast coast of NC in May of this year. Beautiful part of the USA. I was surprised to see how flat it was as we had only been to the Blue Ridge area. I even got to see one of your big black bears out by the roadside as we were driving between Nebraska, NC and Washington, NC. We spent time at the outer banks and four days at a wonderful NC state park. Hope we can make it back to NC again!

[@cindyskillman544]

I'm amazed at the way your peppers regenerated! 🤩 I'm gonna try that. Maybe the cold will hold off long enough, but my first crop hasn't ripened yet. I'm pretty excited about it. All the plants are covered with peppers in various stages; none red yet. This is my first real garden. It's like absolute magic.❤️ Just incredible.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I've been using this method for a few years now, and it really does work wonders. Every year, it gets easier and easier as you get used to doing it. Where I live, it's oppressively hot for a very long time (a solid 3 months of 90+ degree days nonstop), so peppers do very well. It sounds like you're pretty close to ripening your crop.

[@Pausereflectandbreathe]

We had the same plant growing for 4 years. They definitely fruited more the years we gave them a really good boost of new soils added into the beds where they grew though!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

A pepper plant in a climate with low pest and disease pressure that does not see frost and freeze can live many years. My cherry pepper in a pot is going on its 3rd season and is flowering profusely. 5+ years is not out of the question.

@@TheMillennialGardener Thank you for sharing your information on gardening peppers. ▪︎How often do you spray your peppers or tomatoes for insects? ▪︎What insects spray do you use? ▪︎How long after you have sprayed your plants before you start eating the vegetables? Thanks.

[@donaldduck830]

@@harmonyandpeacetranquility7851 Wow, not at all. You should have room between the plants for wind to go through and attract predators & pollinators with eg marigolds or other flowers or herbs. And in order to strengthen your plant, use a "soup" (uncooked) made from stinging nettle or common horsetail (="Equisetum arvense"): Put the plants in a bucket in a 1 to 10 mixture with water. Stir every day for 1-2weeks. Be advised that this stinks very badly while it ferments. Then use in a 1 to 10 dilution in watering your plants (again, I use my oldest watering can). This acts as fertilizer and strengthens your vegetable plants against a wide variety of pests. This organic method (while stinky) is not harmful and can be done shortly before harvest, though it should be done early enough in the season to affect the growth of your fruits.

[@TheMillennialGardener]

About $15 worth of seed can plant multiple beds of peppers for years. Most varieties are only around $2 a pack, so you can grow 10 different varieties and have seeds for years. That whole bed probably cost something like $1-2's worth of seed to plant - seriously. They're very heavy feeders though, so if fruit production is limited, feed them some blossom booster.

[@UrbanGardeningWithD.A.Hanks14]

Hey there, Carolina Brother! I have a question and a suggestion. Q: How big do you let your plants get before you stop pinching off the buds and let the fruits grow? Suggestion: Southern States' own brand of fertilizers come in 50# bags and are relatively cheap compared to name brands. They were only $10 a bag prior to this massive inflation. They are in prills though, so a little slower release, but definitely an amazing bang for the buck.

As a fellow NC"er Thank you for helping my peppers. I am new to gardening and had a horrible harvest. Now I know!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

Being down in the southeasternmost corner of the state, we have the biggest problems with heat, rainfall, humidity, pests and disease in the state, so if I can do it here, I'm sure you can flourish with this routine. If you're struggling, it is probably due to lack of fertilizing. Peppers are pretty heavy feeders, and giving them a drink of a soluble feed every 10-14 days or so really helps them.

[@baddogcustoms7496]

⁠ Simple question but, Yellowing leaves on a jalapeno plant is what exactly? It’s only happening to 2 of my 12 plants 🤷🏻‍♂️can’t seem to figure out are those 2 getting too much or not enough water or something different 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Crazy-bout-a-mercury]

Okay, let me ask you this.Are those two plants that you're having issues with on the same end of the garden? Sometimes it can be something lacking in the soil. I find that if I add fish emotion that tends to help. Also, you definitely want to make sure that you feed them on a regular schedule Because they are very heavy feeders. The other thing is without knowing more about your garden. I mean to answer your question. I can say yes, it could be too much water. Yes, it could be not enough water. The other thing is that if you bought these plants, it may be just too diseased plants out of the 12. Whatever you do, don't give up on them yet.

This works on tomatoes and snap beans too. It is crazy how many snaps I have harvested this year by doing this same technique. When my tomatoes look like they are getting sickly, I hit them with miracle gro being sure to wet the entire plant. Works for me!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I do the same thing with my tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers, zucchini and other "fruiting vegetables." I've never fertilized beans or peas, though, because they seem to be able to pull nitrogen from the air.

[@TheNCGardener]

@@TheMillennialGardener I have a variety of snaps called "caseknife". They are an old variety that Thomas Jefferson supposedly grew. I got the seeds locally from a lady from church who has saved them every year. They are the best snap I have ever grown. The seed is brown and the pods are best when they are about 6 to 7 inches long. The pods are somewhat flat and are not "stringy".
