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
Thank you!!
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.
Thanks for this tip
😂😂😂😂1❤❤❤😂
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
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.
You're the greatest❤
Thanks for the quick summary!!
Will the aspirin trick work on tomato plants and or other vegetable plants? Thank you for that great list of helps.
@Zsolt Vecsernyes It does. In his tomato series, he discusses it. Think it's the grow tomatoes not leaves vid, but not 100% sure.
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.

Love this format, direct coverage of topic without too much fluff!
I had no idea that pepper plants shouldn’t be dug up and discarded after growing season. Thanks Brian. I finally confessed to my neighbors the source of my new found gardening expertise.
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.
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.
ㅕ
"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."
@Valchrist1313 thanks cause I was like what
How on earth did I miss this video, I needed it! I’m a first time pepper grower. I have overwintered a few and so far so good. Thank you!
I love your videos. Thorough, complete and simply presented. Thanks Brian ☺️ we had our best gardening year because of you you!
I’m in CO and I had no idea you could overwinter pepper plants! I’m very much looking forward to your next video on this subject!
That TIP on ASPRIN is GENIUS!! 💚💚💚🌼🌼🌼🌞🌞🌞
I'm wondering if BC powder will work.
I liked that you stayed on content and you gave simple cheap pest control ideas! Thanks!
I’m just starting veggie gardening and watching many of your videos over and over. Thank you for your helpful information. My sweet potato slips just popped up and I’m so excited! Can’t wait to plant! 🦋
Thank you for taking the time to educate! This will be my first garden and, thus, first take on growing peppers. I'm grateful for those who impart wisdom so I can avoid mistakes.
WOW. Thank you for letting us know about overwintering. Been gardening for 30 yrs & I still learn new tricks & tips from YOU!! I live in Massachusetts & inevitably I always have one plant I wish I could have the following year but never knew I could. Now Im REALLY looking forward to your video on the hows!
This is another one of my favorite guys to watch gardening!!!
I love how you present the information. Easy to listen to because you're straight to the point
Great, Brazilian and Portuguese people are watching your videos, please make more! You are so directly to the point, that is great!
Brian, thanks so much for all of the tips on growing peppers. I didn't realize they were perennials and living in Florida gives me more options for growing peppers. I do appreciate the site for getting the uncoated aspirins. I will try to boost the immune system for the peppers, tomatoes and egg plants. Your videos are very informative and have become my "go to" videos for gardening.
I also wish you the best with your new home and gardening ideas for the property.
Oh yeah, the sun 🌞 in the afternoon 👍 great tip
Loved this video. Total newbie to gardening! I’ve started a grow bag garden. These tips have helped me and have encouraged me to look at more of your videos! I know I’ll feel better prepared and knowledgeable.
I’m so
Glad you said I could dig up the plant at the end of the season. I’ll be making new raised beds and was worried I would lose all my plants! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I learned so much from this video! Love that you can save your pepper plants for next year! I am going to try to save mine by bringing them into the house over winter since I grow in Colorado.
Thank you for a great content! Short and straight to the point and !!!! NO annoying background music!
You have no idea how "envious" I am of all that greenery you're surrounded in. Everything looks so green and healthy! (Not fair! LOL).
Over winter my peppers?!?!?Awesome!
Definitely a must see vlog on peppers!!!!!
Learned a lot, thanks Brian. Great advice. Wishing you health and happiness.
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.
Wish there was a love button, did not know you could replant peppers from existing plants like that. Going to try the aspirin trick now
Loved learning I can keep pepper plants over the winter! A great jump start next year! Also liked the uncoated aspirin idea! Thank you.
Peppers have always been my least successful crop, probably because I've been very successful at making a number of the mistakes on your list! 🙄
Me too and I dont understand why.
Peppers are so darned hard to grow and produce. I did get three smallish bell peppers the by the end of August. Will try and keep the pepper plants going for next season too. Good idea. Gotta be the amount of sunlight I think. Thank you for all the ideas.
Well the leaves get wet when it rains though.
That salicylic acid trick sounds great. How old are they when you start that?
@@carljosephson5480 in my case basil
Thank you. I’ll prune my pepper plants now. Great video!
Very helpful! Looking forward to the vid that shows how to save my pepper plan through the winter!
Love the overwintering idea...will definitely try that.will save loads of time
I can’t wait to try to over winter my peppers. Love that thought because it’s free. 😂
Yes! And they'll do even better next year!
I can't believe I've never heard that this can be done. I've been wasting my time and money by not trying to save the peppers!
Megan MacKenzie - Ugh. Well, at least now you know and can over winter your plants. 😉
California Garden TV - 😳 Considering how well they’ve done this year I can’t wait!
@@NextLevelGardening I had no idea. Now I know to take them in if it gets too cold. Thank you.
I'm in the UK and I've tried exactly that - overwintering two pepper plants in my porch - so far, so good. I didn't know to pinch them out, so I'll be doing that when the right time comes along. I didn't get a good growing result last year, so with your great tips, I'm hoping for a great yield. Thank you.
As a first time vegetable gardener this info has been a great help. Thank you !
You have an amazing teaching style. Succinct yet LOTS of great application. I found your tomato video yesterday and couldn’t wait to watch the pepper one today. Thanks for posting these videos. I know my garden will be better because of you and your videos.
Just starting a garden on the flip side (Down under), your tips have been helpful.
First year growing will def try wintering my peppers cheers for the info 👍👍👍👍
I am a first time gardener. I thought that I was just going to have to pull up my pepper plants and throw them away. I am so glad that I watched this video. I am going to save them over the winter and replant them in the spring. I look forward to watching that video.
I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thank you for making them and sharing your knowledge.
Can't wait for the video on wintering pepper plants! Who knew?!
I really needed this video, thank youI am awful at growing peppers, but with your help, next season i will rock them finally!YThank you!
I live in a cold climate and I had been wondering if I could keep my pepper plants over the winter. I am happy to find out that I can do this. I plan to give it a try this year. Thanks for your informative video!
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 definitely swear by your pruning technique. I’m so glad I watched the video just in time to prune. It produced so much more fruit than any other year I’ve grown them.
All that information is SO helpful!! THANK YOU!!
I appreciated the amount of detail you gave with your tips. I wasn't left to wonder. Thanks.
Thank you for the info. I learned why a few things went wrong in my garden last year. Good tips, very much appreciated.
Always ALWAYS learn something new from you!! 👏🏼
Thank you!
Really well made vid, nice location for shooting too. Clear, concise and good knowledge. Thanks!
I love your presentations; thorough, clear, concise and just a bit of humor. Just discovered you, so it remains to be seen if I will have a better garden this year.
I learned pretty much all mistakes I have done. Thank you looking forward to growing beautiful peppers.
Thank you for the information! I didn’t know about the pruning, aspirin or staking! I hope I’m not too late!
I hope you never stop making videos!! Thank you sooooo much for everything! !!!!!!
I'll make them as long as people will watch them
I learned I did quite a bit wrong last year!! New year, new approach!! Thanks for this informative video.
Even though this is an older vlog, I am new to gardening and the tips are extremely helpful.
You have so much information, I just can’t remember it all !!! Love watching your videos !
i brought my bell peppers inside and they produced great peppers in my pots, red and yellow.
I moved from the gulf coast to zone 6b. Lots of differences in gardening between the two. Your video was so comprehensive that it covered most of my questions. Also great to learn peppers are perennials. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you---Brian! You are a great gardening instructor, sir!
I am new to your channel and, I really appreciate your wealth of knowledge about the tomatoes and peppers.
So very informative. I just love your videos. My vegetable garden is much improved with your help
Awesome! Love the videos on specific plants and all the ins and outs! Keep them coming. This one came just in time. I am getting ready to plant my peppers today. One question: Do peppers benefit from sulfur? I was told by an older gardener to put matches in the hole when you plant peppers. I know the matches of today are different from the past so not sure how beneficial this would be. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
Excited to see the next video Brian! I live in MD and have cold winters, so looking forward to having my peppers come back the following year. You are such an amazing teacher! Love your videos!
Thank you 🙂
I'm a novice gardener (other than lettuce). Discovered your YT channel late in the gardening season and am learning about growing and over wintering peppers. I did have a successful pepper year, with just 3 organic plants. Now, I have transplanted them into 2 gallon bags and as you commented---with a cold heart--I did cut them back. I'm very optimistic and encouraged they will over winter successfully and I will have peppers next year. Thank you for your tips and knowledge shared in your YT videos. I will try the aspirin trick next year, and also, prune the peppers.
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.
I'm glad I rewatched this! I almost forgot the aspirin!!
Thank you for you're great advice. I've heard about the cross-pollination with hot and sweet peppers, but didn't know it was actually in the seed from the fruit. Very interesting! How deep should I plant my pepper in the soil? Or should I do it in the solo cup as you did with the tomato's? Thank you again, you are teaching me a lot.
I live in the south of Spain, so my climate is similar to yours, I’m frost free in the winter. I have overwintered 2 chillie plants in pots outside for the first time, and they are sprouting leaves nicely now. Thanks for your advice and tips on growing peppers, I understand now why I had sun scorch on my bell peppers last summer - too much hot sun in the afternoons! Liz
I learned about the aspirin trick and that you can over winter them. Thank you, this was very helpful
I swear, every time I watch one of your videos I learn at least one new and useful thing! Definitely going to try the aspirin trick, and you just saved my serrano plant from going on the compost heap come November - instead I'll prune it, move it to a pot , and see how it does. Thank you!
Thats my goal!
That aspirin tip is a good one that I'm going to use once I can find my hand held sprayer. As always, thank you for all the work that you put into your videos.
Love the logic and sensibility and capability
Thanks very informative, never knew you could grow peppers for multiple seasons, and the the aspirin to help with fighting diseases.
I’m already seeing more bell peppers this year and I’ve harvested 4 so far. I don’t think I was able to harvest any before August in the past.
Good morning, Brian. Greetings from Lavonia, Georgia! Thank you for these instructional videos. You are really helping me to become a better gardener.
Thanks❤
Yes, he's helped me so much with all my gardening.
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!
I had never heard about pruning peppers! Thanks
Awesome advice thank you. I grow my peppers indoors and they are doing great. Will harden some of them in Spring before I plant them out. I just started about a month and a half ago growing peppers and love it. My plants are growing well. Thank you for your advice
Didn't know about the nitrogen sensitivity. Thanks!
I have a small garden in the summer Months here in MD,you gave me all the info I needed to better my garden.Thank you so much❤
I just learned a ton of info. This year is my 2nd garden and your video has given me the knowledge to hopefully do much much better. I love pickling and making fermented pepper sauce and it is so dadgum good 👍.
New to all the RUclips gardening sights and I must say you are one of the best at getting the most info into the shortest time! Thanks! I have learned a lot, even if my humid Texas climate is quite different.
Thank you!
He is the best and I’ve listened to many. , now just him
@@RS-kx9ee I beg to differ. There are few youtubers who post excellent videos just as good as this one and some are better than others. Depends what one is looking for growing etc :-)
@@incanada83 yes you are right. I’m a newbie and haven’t listened to as many as you I’m sure. I have since found others I really like . CaliKim is great , garden answer, and Scott Head etc...so much to learn Sometimes confusing to listen to too many.
@@RS-kx9ee True. I watched CaliKim too. Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden)and Cali did video together.
If I can recommend a really, really great video series (NOT that you're asking) since you like to learn, would be The Rusted Garden. In my humble opinion, his videos are THE best from the very beginning, easy to understand, many are updated, plus you can choose what interests you "right now" videos.
Take care and...happy gardening :-)
Brian, you've reached over 300K followers! You are doing great, I still love your videos, keep up the great work! Oh, and I hope your headaches are getting better!
Thank you! And they are😃👍
Nurtec ODT is a new migraine medicine from Biohaven
Once I started taking magnesium daily, my migraines went away!
Thanks for the tips and tricks. I have 2 banana pepper plants that are kicking butt this year. I'm so glad that I can save those little guys.
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.
I wintered about 6 sweet peppers and 4 hot pepper plants, they've been doing fine all winter in pa
Thanks for the video. It’s my first year growing peppers and I was super happy with the result. My plants were producing lots of fruit and I was waiting for the peppers to turn from green to red. A couple of weeks ago I started to notice some orange and black flies around the peppers but didn’t realize it was a problem until I saw more and after doing research, found out that they are called pepper maggots. When inspecting my peppers it seems the damage has already been done. A few of my peppers were rotten with maggots on the inside and most seem to have scars from the flies which means they already laid eggs inside. Is there anything I can do to save the peppers and get rid of the flies at this point or is it too late? Thanks!
Hi Brian, I have beem following your excellent tips and they all are great help for achieving the best results from my plants - a big thank you 😃
Wow. Just learning about over wintering peppers. My 1st time at gardening was 2020 -- did well with my sweet peppers but left them out in the winter and they died. This year I know just what to do. Thank you so much for such valuable information! TN
Beginning gardener here in zone 8b. I subscribed right away at the end of this video. Learned a lot from this video: peppers are perennial, plant a companion plant for the sunset side, hold the nitrogen, prune and give Aspirin. Looking forward to checking out your previous videos!
I’m in 8b as well here in Alabama and he was so helpful for me on these topics as well!
It's a coincident how I just bought a pepper tree and tomato and was wondering how to take care off them and here comes you video thank you well appreciated great advice helps a lot.
Mindreader🤣🤣
I'm doing my first container garden, not for the usual reasons of lack of space, but because of age and physical limitations I can't get on the ground. I didn't know about pinching peppers to make them make more branches, but it makes sense. Thank you!
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.
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 learned the aspirin trick and over wintering. Thanks
You're welcome!
Wow! Thank you so much for the tips! I placed my peppers where they get FULL sun. They have so many buds but its slowing producing fruit. I know the perfect place to relocate them! I hope that relocating them will be the game changer!
Back drop is amazing!!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@pulver117 Thank You. Going to check that out now.
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.
Love all the pink in your garden!
