Planting Onions And Overwintering My Peppers & Eggplant
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 дек 2023
- This has been a busier fall than usual for me with a lot of big projects that came up as we approach winter. That means I still had a lot of garden to fill and I can now finally say that over 90% of my garden is fully planted. Of course I then ruined it by overwintering my peppers and eggplant leaving even more empty space!

The best ASMR video ever made has nothing on listening to Jacques trim and chat
Can’t do any gardening here in central KY, Z6b, now 7a, but who cares? Watching Jacques is watching the master. I can’t eat peppers and can’t stand eggplant, but, again, who cares? I always learn something when I watch Jacques.
Very kind words, thanks for watching! Have you ever tried growing things like Red Russian Kale or Spinach in the winter? Both can tolerate quite extreme temperatures!
@@jacquesinthegarden
I haven’t ever grown anything in winter but will give it a the kale and/or spinach a try.
@@jcking6785 I like growing corn salad over winter. It doesn't mind freezing solid repeatedly, and will grow, if slowly, when the temperature is above freezing. It also self-seeds. I rarely bother actually planting it. The rosettes are small, but they're pleasant flavored. Harvest for me on Vancouver Island BC is mid feb-early may. It bolts as soon as the weather starts getting properly warm.
I also like growing kale in the winter. Kale leaves and florets are often a surprisingly large part of my vegetable intake feb-end of april. I didn't grow any this winter and I'm missing it.
You are blessed with a mild weather than our Seattle weather that’s why I need a greenhouse.
Yeah honestly it is a blessing and a curse, no time to take breaks! Although this is the super chill time of year when everything grows slowly at least.
@@jacquesinthegarden You also need to take a break, hahaha
There’s a channel called Lazy Dog Farm that I watch for all my onion growing tips & info. He’s said it’s not a good idea to give your onions a haircut at the same time as transplanting. He did that and lost more onions than normal. However like you say onions are so resilient. I transplanted mine a month ago, & even most of the small little weak looking ones made it. I cannot WAIT to harvest and cook with my own onions. So freaking cooollllll 🤗
Hes gotten a little more unreliable slowly. Some bad advice and selling out for specific products literally sells a fertilizer that is not OMRI listed and is lying about certification which bothers me.
Thank you for sharing how to overwinter. Great video
Escamilio is a character in the opera "Carmen". His big aria is known as the Toreador Song or "Votre toast, je peux vous le rendre". The ll is voiced with a single flip since that is how it is done in the opera. I wanted to grow up and be an opera singer, I even had the voice, but when the characters that match the voice require a physicality and this was the 1980's and the actor can't wield a sword, carry a dead soprano in a sack, etc.; the odds of getting an audition were nil.
Woah that is a cool backstory especially since they also make a companion pepper called Carmen. Sorry to hear you never got a chance but hopefully you still have opportunity to use your voice!
Second from Australia! Thanks for the early morning video Jacques 👍🏻
Good morning down there, and no problem!
love your videos! Also, congrats on the new greenhouse! Can’t wait to see all the new content.
Thank you! I can't wait to make the most of it!
Spring onions (Shallots)(Bunching) are always good, they grow fast and can grow well close together and are quick to mature. Plant seeds in rows a week apart to ensure continuous harvests for months!!
Spring onions weirdly hate growing in my yard, but I still get them going as much as possible.
So one shoot is one onion?!
Thank you for thr pepper tutorial !!! I figured we would have have needed a MUCH bigger pot!!
Yup! Sometimes one shoot will grow into a double onion but for the most part it is 1 to 1. For the overwintering of peppers you basically are just keeping it alive and that is it. So using small pots is ideal and takes up WAY less space.
Love Dixon Dale Farms Onion company.
Enjoying watching you garden in shorts in December =) Wishing you better luck with the garlic next year
Haha I like to stubbornly wear shorts for as long as possible, maybe come January ill be forced to wear pants :(
Have you tried growing garlic in grow bags? I have a few lying around that I will be trying very soon with my family. We managed to have a 4 month supply from our last harvest in small raised beds in the backyard. Cheers🎉. -Dave
The rain we have been having has caused rust on my garlic which I have been hammering with fungicides trying to eradicate it before it can spread. Particularly as I have several hundred cloves in the ground and need to keep my garlic alive its a significant financial investment like 600 cloves. @@GardeningwithDave
Question have you or Kevin ever thought about going to visit laura an Aaron from Garden answer an vlog it for us 😊
That would for sure be a fun experience, nothing is impossible!
jaques, was curious how you irrigated the bed in the vid/if at all, as I don’t see any pipes or anything. Thanks from Cali!
I had a drip mainline that used to run up the side of the bed but I cut it back when I reset the whole area. I closed it off with an on/off valve so I will likely just run a new mainline up and then re-add the irrigation via 1/4" drip lines.
I grew 3 "Megatron" Jalapeno plants with seeds from BotanicalInterests, and they all produced large jalapenos, and a lot of them.. which was impressive because theyre in 3-5 gallon grow bags lol. I recommend for next season!
The jalapenos from Botanical Interests seem to always be insanely prolific!
Informative and motivating, as always, Jacques!
Jacques should get 50% ownership in the Epic company
I appreciate that!
I planted my onions back in november, you plant short day onions in the fall.
Thanks for the overwintering info! I recall from your pepper seed starting video that you planted Capsicum flexuosum seeds. How did they fare?
Honestly that is one of the peppers that seemed to be lost in the mix sadly. Due to your reminder I am actually going to dig up the seeds and start them now in the greenhouse so can get a head start and keep better track of it.
@@jacquesinthegarden Thanks!
Timely reminder, thank you!
Happy Birthday! new sub from new greenhouse video
Sweet brother
Good morning I really hope in the future We can all own land and actually do something we are passionate about planting seeds for the future generations 🌼
It is a fantastic privilege to have space for a garden, wish everyone could also!
Saving this to watch later ☝🏼
“Jacques-y!!” 4 year old Freya and I tuning in again 😊 Sadly, we missed our chance to overwinter our peppers this year (RIP tequila sunrise) but we’re looking at it as a chance to try out some new varieties next spring! Thanks for the excellent video as always!
Tequila sunrise is a great one! It does give you plenty of opportunity to try new varieties though!
@@jacquesinthegarden including Biquinho in the mix this year, thanks to your recommendation!
I wish nurseries sold peppers that way🤔
Honestly would be really clutch for early season starting.
Beside the great content, I like your straw hat. I hope to find one before spring.
This is one of the best videos yet!
Thanks for all the tips Jacques!
Thanks for posting for us cabin fever gardeners. 😊
I plant onion plants 6” in all directions and they do great.
I can’t overwinter my peppers outside,it gets too cold. I grow them in five gallon buckets. I cut them back and bring them into my sunroom where it’s warmer.
That is a great solution for sure!
Loved your idea from another video to overwinter in the new 5” pots. I got 12 of them!
Nice! They are honestly the perfect size for this!
Happy Birthday Jacque💚
Just love the explanation
Thank you!
Hey Jacque! Long viewer to the channel and I appreciate you taking the time to show us urban gardens how to be self sufficient with a garden. We are currently transitioning our backyard into a garden that will supply nutrition for my family. Hopefully we can make a collaboration video down the line❤.
Congrats on your newgreen house from eric at epic gardening and I can’t wait to see your upcoming content🎉.
Oh, I am sorry to hear about your recent loss (Kevin). Hopefully the new guy (Eric) is doing a good job in the garden. 😂😂😂
-Dave
Hey dude it's Bryant from Jimbo's! Great to see ya here buddy.
Woah! How is it going Bryant, its been forever!
I took in a very small pepper (cut a bit but it was already small). I trown out 32 flowers inside :'D maximum amount during the summer was like 6-8.
Haha, plants can be pretty good at trolling us.
Your garden is absolutely stunning! Loved this video! 🙌🏻💚
Appreciate it and glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait to try this with next year's peppers!
But what about the smoking of the peppers Jaques? :-)
I recorded a short form style video for now to experiment with. Will get this edited up this week!
Linaria is one of my favorite flowers. They usually come in wildflower mixes. The reseed nicely.
Very cool, I love the way it looks and the color combintions!
Hello, sirJacques, I didn't know this channel earlier I thought you and Kevin had the same channel
Very glad to have you on board!
Jaques what onion can I grow (Pomona) that comes close to a Vidalia onion? And can I grow Vidalia onion here? Oh, look at your girls.🐓🐓 I hope you do a video on your chick soon.♥️🐓
I dug up for first pepper plant to try to over winter it and to free up the garden space. Being here in San Diego, I just wasn't sure where to store it. Thanks for answering that for me/us.
This is my second year of growing onions from Dixondale. I had great success last year.
Your calmness in the garden keeps me calm ❤ ~ Rhonda
The Dixondale onions are really reliable and make planting out a whole bunch super easy!
@@jacquesinthegardenI still have onion seeds, but from here on out will order from Dixondale as it’s much easier than seed starting and I had good results from Dixondale also.
I would the result of growing them back
Have you grown the broccoli romanesco?
I have once or twice, It looks cool but personally I don't find it compelling enough to grow.
Look at your chickens. They are pretty cute and want to come out of their pen and scratch the buggery out of your garden and be near you also.
Haha, they always come running up to the fence, the little dinosaurs have been tearing apart all the leftover brassica stumps post harvest.
@@jacquesinthegarden😂 this is the first winter for ours and I think they are wondering where all the greens went. They cleaned up most that was still hanging on in Z5. The roosters have free range and are hitting the Sweet William and wonder if it will make it to spring. 😅
I am in San Diego too. Which nursery do you get your vegetables starts from?
Love the vids Jacque much better than that other guy…
Yeah, Eric's videos are meh.
😆🤣😆😉
@@gardeninggalagain😂
I’m with spaghetti, much better than Nick’s vids🥹😂🤣
I love both guys..
@@naturegirl8944 You love Eric's vids?
Next time show us how your smoking those peppers. Great vid.
I recorded a short form style video for now to experiment with. Will get this edited up this week!
@jacquesinthegarden Love the vids thanks man.
Can you overwinter peppers in colder areas where the top few inches of soil freezes solid at least once per winter? It seems like they'd die.
More great teaching!
Curious about the tilling done before adding compost - what is benefit?
It was mostly to break up the soil to begin with as it was super compacted. I find it easier to break up all the large chunks and clods before adding compost. This is less "soil weight" to move around as I work with hand tools. Then when I feel like its broken up enough I add the compost and mix it in. This is something I only do when I approach an area that hasn't been used in a long time. For the rest of my active garden I will just break up the surface a little and then add compost rather than fully tilling it up.
Some plants I buy say its prohibited from propagating, would it be wrong to clone the plants to overwinter? mostly my annuls I dont wanna have to buy them again next year
Honestly.... nobody will know but it may still be "prohibited" its mostly to stop you from cloning special hybrid genetics for resale. A home grower shouldn't have to worry about silliness like that.
Does this co in TX have the onions that i think are grown somewhere on the east coast southern state. Its a sweet onion?
I wish i knew the name
How are your broccoli so free from looper worms/ white butterflies?
They are around but in limited numbers this time of year. Once the plants size up like this the loopers damage is so little that it basically is tolerable. I have sprayed BT once about 2 months ago as early Fall is a little more dicey.
Hi Jacques, what's the consequence of just leaving new growth on the plant at this point in the season (10b)? I have a small Jimmy Nardello and small Shishito in grow bags and they have new leaves and flower buds (!). I know they will grow more slowly in our "winter" but will it harm them to just let them grow? They are small in small grow bags so no chance of growing out-of-control-big when we hit warm season. Thanks for all you do!!
Not much as far as I can tell. The peppers will take so long to actually form and ripen that the plant may think it is a last ditch effort of survival and then die but honestly I doubt it. I just personally don't bother with trying to get the fruit since they grow so slow this time of year.
@@jacquesinthegarden Thanks! There's nothing I want to replace them with so I'm just going to leave them and see what happens. :-)
"Random Task" (Dr evil voice)
I took a bunch of my peppers in back in October and all of them are still showing signs of being alive with some of them being more dormant than others. I have watered them very little and placed them under a low power grow light for 8 hours a day. A few of them have sprouted some small leaves, which I'm debating whether I should leave them or prune them.
With the small leaves I personally leave them, I like having a little sign of growth to know that they are actually live.
I overwintered a handful of peppers and eggplants and they’re growing lots of leaves and buds. I wondered if I should cut them off… Looks like they’ll be getting a trim! I appreciate that you showed all the details of how overwintering is done. It’s not too complicated but technique is more comprehensible through demonstration. I have them under grow lights - reduced to 8 hours a day. Do you think I should cut them back to 4 hours?
I think 4 hours is plenty, they are really just going dormant so the light is just keeping them aware of being alive basically
The short day/long day definition never made sense to me. Is it possible that in the south, it will start bulbing when we are still in short days (aka winter/spring), while in the north, it requires a long day (aka summer)? I don't think we have longer days in North than others in the South. Sort of like groups in Snap Dragons, where groups 1 and 2 are short day Snaps and 3 and 4 are main season. I swear, I have just enough of a science brain to be annoying. In other news, I start onions/leeks/shallots in another couple weeks and I am excited.
So the way it works, as I understand it, is that onions have an internal clock. This clock looks for x amount of sunlight hours and when it hits that number it then begins to form the bulb. So for example in March both San Diego and Minnesota have about 12 hours of sunlight. A short day onion will begin bulbing around then. The only problem is that a short day onion would be frozen to death in Minnesota at the time 12 hours of daylight has passed. Meanwhile a long day onion will bulb at around 14-16n hours of daylight. San Diego gets 14 hours max in summer while Minnesota has nearly 16 hours of daylight. The long day onion will never get enough light to bulb in San Diego but will in the north coinciding with the warmer time of year as well!
Ah brilliant!! I knew you would know! THAT makes sense. Happy Birthday and Congratulations on your green house. Yours is the first out of many fancy greenhouses to make me think about building one! @@jacquesinthegarden
I'm in southern Canada so an up north question: I wonder if I could grow short day onions indoors by a window in the winter - the shortest day here now is ~ 8 hours? Or does it take several months for them to bulb so the gradually increasing daylight hours would mess them up? Thanks ;)
It does take months for them to actually size up. It would be super cool for you to try though! You could get away with making spring onions at the very least. The short day onions typically don't begin bulbing until they hit 10 hours of light.
First 🤌🏼🔥
Didnt catch name of ur fav yellow pepoer n transcript says "eso". Could u spell it out? Thx.
Escamilio !
New to channel. What zone are you in??
Zone 10b In San Diego, California. Also, welcome!
I like Eric Gardening but this Jack guy has a nice flare
Jacques, do you ever worry that your landlord will try to jack up your rent 500% in an effort to make more money?
This is always a concern with renting but luckily it isn't an issue for us.
@@jacquesinthegarden thank goodness! If your landlord ever tries to twist your arm let me know. I know a few guys, if you know what I mean!
