The peppers are always the last fruit bearing plants to remain in my garden, and I usually get rid of them along with the tomatoes, so this is like a pepper 🌶️ revolution! Awesome, my friend.
@@minamurI tried to overwinter some tomato cuttings inside last winter, but I didn’t realize it has tomato hornworms or eggs on it. When I check back, they already ate all the leaves 😢😢
This all looks like a lot of hard work. I am not sure gardening is the right hobby for me. Or perhaps I should try a few plants in grow bags before going all in.
Also its a good idea to prune 1/3 while still in ground or pots, leave a couple weeks then do as James says for overwintering. By not pruning all at once helps plant not go into shock and die.
Not true. Here in Australia we have our spring 1st day of September. I pruned all my chilli plants to absolute bare. 4 months later, they have grown up into a nice big bush. Lots of fruit too!
@@studyengineeringinaustrali8317 Did you actually have to repot your plants? Depending on where you are in Australia I assume you might have been able to even just leave them in the ground over winter, but many plants can certainly go into shock if they undergo extensive damage such as aggressive pruning or root damage while repotting. Each species will have its own particular hardiness and all kinds of factors can affect whether a particular plant goes into shock.
I tried this last season & all but one died. They were in my house and I had high hopes. The one that lived never produced but I also did not use the neem oil or soap. It’s a great idea and thanks for encouraging us to try again. Tuck may need a bubble bath. He is so awesome and evidently is the supervisor on duty. 👍😄
I live in Philly and this is only my 2nd season gardening outside, my first below zone 10. I’ve been waiting for a video with this level of detail for overwintering for weeks and this went above and beyond. Thank you so much!❤🎉🥬
I tried this last year and brought it inside the house. Bad move - aphids everywhere! This year I have a greenhouse so I moved one banana pepper plant with ginger tubers in there still in the pot. I love experiments!
I live in Western Cape, South Africa and our climate is sub tropical Mediterranean meaning we don't have frost or snow because we are on the coast. Last year I planted two Bullet Chilli plants in buckets and kept them indoors until spring when I transplanted them out into the garden. They bore fruit through Spring, Summer, Fall and right through the Winter and they're still bearing fruit. I did not overwinter them, just watered them and added compost.
This video is so right on time. I have 2 pimento plants that I'm going to try overwintering. And although temps soared to 82 degrees here in northeastern Maryland zone 7a today, temps are scheduled to dive to 30 degrees on Wednesday night.
James, thanks for such detailed info! I overwintered some peppers a few years back. Right now, I'm rooting some cuttings from a successful tomato plant and will be seeing if I can keep it alive in my garage, which is insulated and has windows all along the top.
I do this every year with my Sungold f1 tomato plants ,, I take lots of cuttings in the autumn and keep them in a cool spare bedroom and water very sparingly, I’m sure a garage will be fine as long it’s frost free ,, in Feb/March you will have plenty of material to take further cuttings from,, will give you tomatoes several weeks earlier than sowing the seeds, will save you money in seeds and it’s a great feeling to keep the plants going from one year to the next, good luck and regards from the UK
Your timing is perfect! I’ve been frustrated that it took my bell peppers until this month to start producing - I must be doing something wrong because I’m in DE, so my weather is similar to yours - and I’ve been trying to figure out how I can give them a better start next year. Maybe I should just dig them up and give them a round 2 so I can get the ripe peppers I want! They’re still green, so I’ve been watching the frost forecast closely.
Peppers where really late in general this year. Adding to the insult of the pepper gate mess. PS. going with MLGardener next spring for seeds. I don't need drama in my garden.
is there a video concerning when spring comes and we have to put in a bigger container for the summer growing season? Love your videos keep up the good work
James, you are a FANTASTIC teacher! Even tho I live in Southern AZ, I can apply a lot of your techniques and recommendations. Many thanks, and keep up the great videos 😊
❤ My birds eye chilli grew thousands each year and just died after 8 and a half years❤❤. I am thinking of my chilli….RIP. It will be summer soon so I am going to plant another one. You are so ingenious how you over winter you chillies and capsicum …..Here I find some delicate plants need to be “over summered”……winter here is warm and the best time to get out in the garden for any vigorous jobs.
I was just considering doing this today, but I wasn't sure if it actually worked. I'm going to give it a try because I know you know what you're doing. What are all the plants that you personally overwinter? That would be a great video.
Thank you for your videos. I live in Michigan zone 6A, I would love to see a full season of how to grow in a greenhouse, in a cold (semi-cold climate. When to start the seeds, can you start them in the greenhouse and on. From the earliest spring to late fall. I have had my greenhouse for 4 years and am learning about it, but would love to be able to watch someone and have them explaining every step they take. Unfortunately, there are no videos or programs that cover using a greenhouse or growing in an area like Michigan. I have been gardening since roughly 1986, and really appreciate people like you who demonstrate and explain the gardening concept of the week. lol.
I just prune it in the middle of the autumn, cover it with lots of straw and put a vase on the top, 3 years and they go quite strong. The soil her never freezes, minimum temperature is around -1.
I’m glad to see and have watched this video. Thanks for making it! Gonna hopefully try this out next year. 👀 Do keep us updated on how your peppers fair during the winter! ^^
I just wanted to say that I'm a huge pepper plant grower/lover and I usually grow carolina reapers.. I overwintered my pepper planst last year by accident in an attempt to save them.. I thought, just maybe this plant can regrow next season, but wasnt sure.. since then I realized that overwintering was a thing.. but not too many videos describing the process... I found this video extreamly helpful in the amount of detail you've provided and it helped me understand parts of the process that I thought about doing but thought wouid hurt the plant. Thank you so much for being a wonderful guide!
hey James! do you have an update on these ones? courious to know if they survived the winter. I'm planning on trying this for the first time this year :) Much love to you and the young king
Well, I did cut the produce before I brought mine out of the ground when at night the temps started hitting into the 40s. I’ve got to say by comparison the roots of mine were very small and shallow, which may be in their favor. Only one of the plants seemed stressed so it did get cut way back. But because after a few days in the garage all of them seemed happy in pots and with what has been left of their foliage they are now inside being treated like houseplants. I wish for a greenhouse and wish for being able to provide for the garden in the way that you do yours. So I watch you for inspiration and ideas I can apply on a really thin budget. I love Tuck’s winter fur. And his disposition is so sweet, its too bad he doesn’t have Tuck pups hanging around too.
I stopped removing all the leaves when overwintering, as I have found aphids attack new leaves and leave the older leaves alone. So by leaving some of the leaves, not all, the plant does not push out as much new growth.
Im into my first few days of frost and i cant believe how great the frost king brand of thick plastic protected some of my favorite plants that weren't to large to cover.
A random bird was kind enough to 'deposit' native chili pequin next to my work shed. For the last three years I've pruned it back to the first Ys on the stems and mulched it with dry pecan leaves. It comes back strong and produces more peppers than I can eat.
Very interesting! I wonder if the mimosa leaves are too "hot" like chicken manure? OR could the mimosa trees have caught some drifting herbicide way up in the air? That stuff does volatilize pretty easily and drift quite a ways from where it was applied.
Another awesome video. I'm in 7b but just had our first frost last night. It's probably too late to save my property plants now, but I'll definitely do this next year. My problem is that I don't have an indoor place to overwinter them. Hoping next year to see someone do a similar video for those of us in that situation. Thanks, James & Tuck, for all of your incredible videos. ❤
I had my peps all pruned for overwintering but hadn't dug them out yet, then it frosted the other night. I don't know if they'll make it or not. We shall see. Maybe the roots in ground were protected enough? 🤞
Thanks James and Tuck! I live in south-eastern Australia, so we're in spring. I over-wintered a couple of red bell pepper plants, and they're starting to get new leaves, so I'm happy about that. What's even more surprising is that I have some tomato plants that sprouted late last season, so I left them in their pots, near the western brick wall of the house (the wall gets the afternoon sun all year, so it's probably the warmest part of the garden - though it also gets the worst wind). The plants survived, so now I have tomato plants already fruiting before my next lot of seeds have even sprouted! The plants have had a hard life over the winter, so the fruit is small, but it was an interesting experiment, and it might lead to better results if I try to over-winter some tomatoes next winter. Do you have any experience with overwintering tomatoes?
I personally wouldn't ever overwinter tomatoes unless they were micro size. They grow so fast, and indeterminate tomatoes start slowing down after about 15-18 months. I'd always start from seed every year. Edit: and they get too tall anyway. If they've had a rough life, they really won't fully recover. Seedlings are more adaptable
I’m in SA and my peppers I just cut back in the spring and they burst into life. I leave them outside and I have one plant that would be about 10 years old. It’s very easy to do in Australia because we don’t get so cold
@@AbundantGardening In my case, the tomato plants I'm considering are still fairly young because I got them transplanted late. They *are* indeterminate, so that's a concern, and I'm not sure I have enough indoor light, but they're so young & healthy that I don't want to see them perish in the frost if they can be saved. Definitely an experiment!
Awsome, you could look into attatchable glass houses the keep tomatoes out warm and wind free,ive seen them in the internet, not that expensive, im in Australia too.
James, buddy, I watch all your videos and really enjoy them all. I would like to see a video of your food forest in the off-season. How you prepare and maintain such a beautiful food forest.
I live in Maine, and I think overwintering is a great way to get good pepper harvests despite cooler temps in summer and a shorter growing season. The one plant I overwintered last year, a Tobago Seasoning, had excellent yield in its second season. Now I have 10 plants overwintering for next year.
Had bad luck growing pepper next season from seed. Ended up having to go to the store and buying some anyway and they arent cheap. Going to try overwintering my Jalepenos in my garage this season. From Pensacola Florida here. Will be trying this for my basil also.
Great video.! Instructions were thorough. I watched your video because I wasn’t sure how to store the plants. It took so long for my jalapeños to ripen that I thought this overwintering would help for next year!!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞. I live in Rhode Island and the temps have gone down in the 20’s already. I hope it won’t get too cold for them. Thanks again for your awesome videos. Tuck is adorable and is a great addition!!! I also just watched your video about planting apple trees. I had no idea they could get sooo big. I would be in absolute heaven if I could grow a Macoun apple tree. My Absolute favorite apple 🍎. They are so short lived here.
Thanks, James, for this video. So interesting & so, so helpful! Have been watching your videos for quite some time now. Love your channel. So great to see Tuck out there enjoying the garden along side you. Very best wishes to you for the coming year.
Love your videos, this year I achieve a very hardworking poblanos and ghost pepper and I was sad in letting them die, until I saw your video three weeks ago, ordered the plant soap and neem oil to be prepared. Yesterday I did one poblano and it is a hard work to rinse the roots!! well I love to mention that I was beginning to think this step was an overkill when rinsing my second poblano plant the roots came out with a lot of insects!! So thanks,.. I know now that they will be ok. Thank you for sharing.
I'm already thinking about this after my pepper plants seemed stunted this year & didn't produce much in the shade cloth covered high tunnel. I was glad to see you do a sweeter pepper like Adjvarski because most of the other folks saving pepper plants are superhot fans. ;-)
Hey James! Thanks for the tip on disinfecting the clippers. I'll be wintering my red chili and jalapeno plants. Tuck's getting a very nice shaggy winter coat!❤❤❤❤❤
What a great comprehensive video! I’ve been doing this half assed before and I’m going to follow all of these steps this year! I love overwintering all of my hot pepps.
My over wintered peppers are coming out of dormancy now. Lots of leaves on the top budding but i hope more branches will come further down the stem. Pretty excited! This was my first time trying it out
Hi James and Tuck. Loved the video. This will be the 4th year we'll be trying to overwinter peppers. The previous attempts were all failures. The only thing no one mentions in these overwintering tutorials is that after transferring the repotted plants do you have to water them at all during winter or not? Looking forward to your advise.
I cut back most to overwinter, but keep about 5 as is, and continue to grow them inside throughout winter for continued harvests. I have found that peppers do not require much light to produce inside.
Tuck is the best helper. What a good boy. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yes, Tuck deserves all the snacks he wants. 🌞⭐❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Liked this channel after tuck ate the pepper, I'm sold! 😅
Best pepper tutorial I’ve seen on any channel

Thank you for this tip! Very helpful. Those pepper leaves are edible and delicious in soups 🍃🥣
Thanks for the tips, I'm excited to keep our peppers going till next year! ❤❤❤ For Tuck!
Hi James and Tuck. Loved the video. This will be the 4th year we'll be trying to overwinter peppers. The previous attempts were all failures. The only thing no one mentions in these overwintering tutorials is that after transferring the repotted plants do you have to water them at all during winter or not? Looking forward to your advise.
Thanks!
Do you ever try cloning them from cuttings. I've read about that.
I have all three of my peppers in dormancy and this is the first year I've ever dug them up. I'm excited to see what the yields will be next summer.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I shared it with my group, Greenhouse Growers.
I cut back most to overwinter, but keep about 5 as is, and continue to grow them inside throughout winter for continued harvests. I have found that peppers do not require much light to produce inside.
Don't forget to add the label when you repot. 😉 ❤
I learned something totally new today. Thank you.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you and Tuck for going into detail on this. I have a jalapeño I will try this on.
Tuck ❤❤❤ and your videos always have great info .
