I have NEVER grown peppers in my life. I put MIGardener seeds in the ground...... in March..... in zone 7. LOLOL
ALL grew and are LOADED! Anaheim, Cubanelle, Big Red. NUTS!!!!!!
I love growing them too! I feel like I'm really getting my time and money's worth out of them. You can overwinter them by pruning them and bringing them in to plant out next year. Google how to prune and store them. A plant can last for years and give you an even earlier crop. 😊
The zone is based on your winter low average, so what kind of weather do you have during the dumping and summer? Here in WA, I got started in February transplanted in May because the weather just wouldn't warm up enough outside. Last year I was able to get them out in April. Of 4 varieties I really only got the pepperoncinis. Which taste like a bell with a very slight heat after.
Jealous. I have to start indoors, baby them, water them for several weeks. . .
@@DanlowMusic I am east coast zone 7 in the Shenandoah mountains. I really think I lucked out with weather and timing this year. I direct seeded a whole bed with peppers & the Marvel of 4 lettuce, then after someone told me I shouldn't have done that, I started 6 pepper plants inside. Honestly, the direct seed ones produced more than my seedlings. I don't know why, but it worked out that way.
@@davidvankainen6711 thats annoying and I hate that for you. But I was going to try to overwinter them like @judifarrington9461 recommended. We can both give that a shot after all our hard work this year. :)
They look so colorful and pretty!!! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
So weird here in Kentucky too. Bell peppers and eggplant this year were more productive than any other year. The plants themselves were also huge compared to other years. I have been freezing the bell peppers because there are so many. Other years I'd be lucky to get a couple.
I read somewhere, paprika is dried bell peppers
Yes, that’s exactly how it’s been in WI also. I usually never get giant bell peppers and now I have all colored ones as well. We had a ton of rain this summer and now drought and way too hot.
@@1991macieyes, and there are peppers called paprika but MIG never got them back in stock. I grew Hungarian Paprika that is very prolific. peppers can be smoked and dried, then ground-sweet or a bit spicey.
@@dustyflats3832 drying or smoking and the blending all the extra pepper into paprika would be one of many ways to preserve an abundance of bell peppers.
My Shishito's went into hyper grow in Ohio. I have at least 10 quarts in the bottom of the fridge. They are one of my favorite refrigerator pepper but don't do well with a water bath, skins get tough and slip.
Yes! It's the year of the Pepper plant.
All my other stuff hasn't done as well
my bean plants got destroyed by slugs, but I'm up to my eyeballs in cucumbers and peppers lol. Every season brings new lessons for next year!
I grew your pepperoncini peppers last year and this year. They are very prolific and this year i waited and let them ripen (to red). They are delicious and fruity! I have so many that I needed to get creative. I pickled some, dehydrated some and fermented some (I also used them fresh in cooking. Your seeds are always reliable!
Yeah when you pick them green they have a grassy taste. But red ones, delicious bell pepper like taste with a very small amount of heat after.
My peppers were super abundant this year as well. Wet spring and very dry summer is maybe the key here in northwest Indiana.
My peppers went gangbusters this year! I pickled my banana and shishito peppers, I have lots of bells still ripening, and I can grab jalapenos or cayennes anytime I want for recipes. What a great season!
Not new to gardening and this was the best year for peppers ever in upper Midwest. We had a lot of rain. Between peppers and beans they just keep producing. Had to tie up peppers several times.
I grew pimentos this year-the flat variety and they are quite sturdy thick walled peppers. They almost act like determinate with a huge flush of peppers all at once.
The Tabasco are taking forever to ripen though.
Thank you, Luke. 😊
Very envious right now...
My whole garden almost around seeds I planted myself that I got from you. They're all amazing. So so so many peppers and eggplants and tomatoes and well even my fall garden now are going crazy as well. I've never had a more productive garden. This is amazing
I foliar spray my peppers the same fertilizer mix I make for my giant pumpkins. Lol. The plants love it and really produce!
I grew sweet banana peppers this year and they also did great. I’ve frozen 3 quarts of roasted peppers from one plant 🌱🌶️🌶️🌶️
That’s a gorgeous harvest. My peppers have very thin walls and are on the smaller size
Not sure if you’ve made videos on this before, but can you do a video or share a video on how to store, and what to do with your peppers after harvest? I’m neck deep in hot peppers so I’m running out of ideas.
No rain high humidity poor soil...ours wasnt so goid in GA. Last year eas magnificent!
Love greenstalks!
Ancho is a dried pepper. The fresh pepper is a poblano. And yes, they are delicious. A necessity for classic chile relleno 😁
Yeah! Seems like a great pepper year in SE Michigan. Concur! Going to try to over winter some.
The thing I noticed, it was dry.
Your purple cayenne peppers are great! Grew them this year and last! Lists of peppers! My sweet peppers were taken out by some new bug this year tho. But the spicy peppers made it and are started producing great! Some peppers I grow in pots and bring them in and overwinter them. Will do that with the purple cayenne and already have a 3 year old pumpkin spice that is doing great!
Peppers do not ripen after being pulled off the plant. The pepper will change color but the ripening process stops. Also if it is a hot variety then it won't be as hot. Leaving hot peppers on the plant until they are their final color brings out their true flavor and makes them hotter.
I love my Greenstalk planters. I have a pepper tower this year and I've really enjoyed doing this year. Not as productive as yours but I was late getting my starts out because life was insane the first half of the year. I only got one shishito out but that thing has been a powerhouse even with my neglect. My Numex Joe Parkers haven't started ripening yet but I think they're close and I'm looking forward to those. I did several varieties of peppers this year to try to see which ones I like to eat and which I like growing best in the greenstalk. I love your seeds, I have such great luck with them. Thank you!
I had a really good pepper year also! Middle NC
Same here in Missouri
I was happy to see your abundant pepper harvest. 🎉❤😊 I received some supposed cayenne pepper plants, tho they're definitely jalapenos. 😂 There's so many soon to be harvested. Love your channel for many years. You've really helped & inspired me. Giving thanks from northern CA.
Wow! I had a good harvest this year, but nothing like that! Great job Luke.
My peppers have been insane this year! I have cayenne, tabasco, pepperoni, Serrano, yellow & green jalapeños, and a sweet red.
My peppers have been tremendous this year!!
Nice Pepper Harvest Luke😊
I have had huge harvests of peppers this year too. I’m in Colorado.
What an amazing harvest! If you were to bring some of those pepper plants inside over the winter and put them under a grow light, would they keep producing?
I made the pepper sauce last year and handed it out to my family while visiting n Oregon (moved to North Idaho in 2024 from Eugene). My family lived there sauce. Heading there again in November and bringing more sauce I’m making today. Great simple recipe!
From MIGardener, I grow Sweet Banana Pepper, Lemon Aji, Coral Bell, Golden Cal Wonder, Big Red, Sunbright, and Purple Beauty.
While it was a down year for me (compared to other years), on the East Coast, I am overall pleased w. Peppers.
Had my first pepper and patty pan squash ever! Camera looks extra crisp🎥
Beautiful peppers!!
I had the best pepper year this year. First time ever getting do many ripe peppers, even an orange bell pepper
I would encourage any spicy pepper lover to grow the urfa biber and Aleppo peppers..... amazing flavors!
I have tons this year too.
Pretty awesome. Need to have a picking pepper video. Also noticed my metal bed grows better than my wooden beds because the temperature of the soil is higher…that is my guess anyway.
HEY WHAT HAPPENED?!?!?!
Weren't you wearing a hoodie talking about Winter just a few weeks ago?.......
😁
Confirmation that it's been off the hook for my peppers this year! Second year plants were loaded! NE PA here ❤
How do you store all these different kinds of peppers in preparation for winter? Freeze? Can? Dry?
I have 3 greenstalks and grow all my strawberries in then. Keeps the slugs out😅😊❤
Southern MI and my Chiltepin are just now forming peppers (such small late flowers) in my crowded (too-intensely planted) garden. Were I to over-winter any pepper, this will be the one. Looks like it can use a head start (or maybe more space/sun).
I planted 6 hot pepper plants and I got enough peppers to do cowboy candy and Tabasco sauce. I only planted a couple of bell peppers and they produced as well. The tomatoes and cucumbers did very well this year. I still have tomatoes growing. It's crazy
I set up an all-pepper GreenStalk this fall and will let them overwinter in it. I can roll it into my carport if we get frosts. They don't usually last long (NE FL). I feel like it's going to work great and they'll definitely be my first producers in spring.
Ensure you amend your soil. I've found the greenstalk planters to be a little small for the plants they grow and they also leach nutrients.
I amend each layer heavily with an organic fertilizer and theb cover it with another couple inches of soil to top it off.
How do you deal with pepper flies/maggots, I lost almost all my peppers this year and I haven’t found much info on what to do to stop them from destroying everything. Thank you 😊
Wow❤
Have you ever suffered from seed mixups? I bought jalapeño seeds from the store last year and got a banana pepper.
“Chile de árbol” I love your accent 😉
I grew jalapenos, habeneros, and Korean chilli peppers in a Greenstalk this year and I'm absolutely swimming in peppers. I've never had harvests like this. Like you I will have a greenstalk of peppers growing every year. Sadly the slugs and hornworms got my bell peppers plants.
My jalapeños were insane this year! Each harvest had about 20 to 30 peppers! I have no idea what I'm going to do with them all! There's still more on the plant, too! I have two gallon size plastic bags of jalapeños in the freezer for now. My purple and green bell peppers didn't get as big as I was hoping, but they still tasted great. I didn't get nearly as many of the bell peppers as I did the jalapeños.
I lacto-ferment my peppers.
@@johnrogerssr.7060 Thank you! That's something I'll have to look into.
Dehydrate your extra peppers. Put the in zip lock baggies and use them to flavor individual bowls or grind them into powder. Dried they last forever and don’t take up space.
@@marksieber4626 That's another good idea! Thanks!
Cowboy candy will use up a lot of them.
Do you leave your pepper plants in the greenstalk overwinter? Or do you just pull them and start over next year? My pepper harvest was disappointing but it is my first year so I will chalk it up to a learning experience.
I believe Luke just starts new but you can overwinter peppers. I did it last year. If it’s already in a container, you probably don’t need to dig it out. Epic Gardening has a video on it.
I’ve heard peppers cross pollinate, so don’t save seeds from multi variety beds. but wondering some of my jalapeños next to the bell peppers had no spice. Is that typical of jalapeños or should I space out my plants more next year?
And the last one, being so big, looking so nice. Cayenne?
I have a question and I hope you can help me. I have outdoor roses in big pots and I would like to put them inside the house so they can continue blooming and not go dormant. Is that possible?
My other question is for cone flowers and white daisies. I have one of each in big pots that I put them in and I wanted to know if I can leave them inside the house once it gets cold. Will they keep on blooming?
Please, please let me know because I’m doing so much research, but I can’t seem to find any answers
I have so many bell peppers! Those keystone are the ones I got from your store with the trifecta plus!! Sooo many and they keep coming!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 last year I got maybe 5 bells On 3 plants!! Lol
❤❤❤
And, please, also the first one you showed us om your greenhouse.
Great harvest! My Diamond plants are just now starting to flower and hopefully the red and purple will soon also. My Jalapenos and Anaheim are now producing more per plant now that the heat and humidity have gone down. Most have stayed green though. I did find one today starting to turn red. Will have to try those Numex peppers! They are beautiful! Tomatoes are just barely beginning to ripen on the Gobstopper tomato plants. I have a few larger varieties that got a later start so they are still putting on height. I planted some more Cucumber plants today. One or two broke off when I was tying them to the trellis. The stems can be so fragile when young. I don't know if cuttings will root from cucumber but I stuck the tops in the ground just in case they will.
Do you prune your pepper plants? Nearly all my pepper plants are 3" plus and I have stake them...still very productive, tho. Zone 7b, btw...
I had a fantastic pepper year in Ohio 6b too. 💩 tomatoes, but we got them in late because we were working in a new garden area and didn’t have irrigation in yet. What a year for that 🥴
Most of my bell peppers were 4"x6" ... I have harvested four times and got 1-2 bushel each time from 16 plants. 😂
I thought ornamental peppers were not edible ? I see those at a local store every year, so colorful and loaded.
Idaho , my peppers are the only ones that made it this year . And a purple bumble bee tomato plant , I bought the seeds from you 😊 I've been gardening for35 years , I don't know what happened . Moles attacked beets and potatoes. But everything else just didn't grow.
Do the peppers continue to ripen in or out of the refrigerator?
Yes
@@jerridombrowski6017 In OR out of the frig?
@@nanigoose they will ripen faster out of the fridge but won't stay fresh as long.
@jacobedler296 thank you!
😂 that face you made, though! Priceless!
So my daughter planted a 12’ row of various peppers she started over winter…and then she moved away….oh my gosh….so much cowboy candy…and canned banana peppers …and more cowboy candy😮😅😂Lol
What is cowboy candy?! Sounds gooood
@@nikkireigns cowboy candy = candied jalapeños… google it. Tons of recipes out there! Addictive!
@@nikkireigns sweet pickled jalapeños basically. Recipe all over the internet
Can you tell me what to do with all my NuMex Joe Packer peppers, please? So far I have dried them and turned them into chili powder. Any suggestions or tips?
My peppers gave me a bumper harvest. I wish I could attach a picture. I got 40 cayenne peppers from one plant in one harvest. I am feeling so sad that I cannot bring these beautiful plants indoors for winters.
You can. Grow under some grow lights until they really give up and overwinter them for next year giving you a big jump start
I cannot grow Sweet peppers or chillies & have been trying for over 10 years so I have completely given up 🤐😮💨😮💨everything else I try succeeds but them. Cheers Denise- Australia
Do you have the name of the long red ones and the jalapeños?
I always struggle growing bell peppers, though I have no trouble with jalapeños, cayenne, or banana peppers. They grow next to each other and get the same treatment. What might be going on? I’ve had this experience in two different homes in Michigan.
Me too, until I tried the Keystone Resist Giant. Second year now in S. MI and they rock! 3 rounds of stuffed peppers. Cored peppers in the freezer to stuff later. Frozen slices in the freezer galore. Some mixed with other peppers for salsa and spaghetti sauce.. Oh, did I mention fodder for omelets? Just 3 plants. Maybe one more round to pick before frost since we just ate half of the latest stuffed peppers. No more CA Wonder or Mixed Colored Bells for me!
Looks like everyone had a "weird" great year, except us here in Seattle :( we really had a weird year. .. Had probably 3 days above 80F, and may be 1 night that remained above 60F!! 😢
I have no problem growing peppers but no matter what variety I grow when they start changing color they rot. As long as they are green no problem. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong
Waiting for them to change color.
If the fruit stem breaks off easy its time. Maybe someone else can speak of over-watering or too much Nitrogen... I've heard that most peppers do like some dry spells as opposed to tomatoes that are more sensitive; need more regular watering to help from either splitting or blossom rotting.
Can you cross a bell pepper and a super hot pepper
What was the name of the "insane" pepper at 7 minutes in??
what if I'm getting enough jalapenos but they are less than the size of my thumb? same with serranos but they are much smaller too
The NuMex Joe Parker peppers have an abnormally thick skin.
Blistered Jimmy Nardello peppers are much better than blistered Shishito peppers.
I can grow peppers in Hawaii but the birds have better luck with germination than I do.
Don't be me!
I was desperate for seeds for jalapeños so I was forced to buy from Ferry Morse (at Lowes).
1 pack said Tam Mild Jalapeños.
2nd pack said Hit Jalapeños.
I seeded them in their own 32 gal pots.
To my surprise I have 2 huge pots if unwanted BANANA PEPPERS!! ,
(I don't even have banana pepper seeds in my collection or plants.)
QUESTION: How far do I need to plant peppers so they don't cross pollinate?
I have Ghosts, Reapers, Cherry bombs, Lunchbox, Poblano, Jimmy Nardello, Big red pepper & Habaneros.
I plants them their own pots, 6 ft apart but I'm still getting cross pollinated.
Well that’s new for me. I thought the only veg to continue to ripen off vine was tomatoes.
Mine were a bust except for cayenne. Its the poor soil
I grew all the spice peppers this year and I absolutely love them. But they seem hotter than a jalapeno, maybe got some cross pollination with a ghost pepper, shesh.....♨️🌶🥵🥵🥵
If you had cross pollination it happened in the year the seed was grown. Cross pollination does not affect this year’s peppers only the plant that is grown from the harvested seeds.
The only exception is corn because the kernels are the seeds.
@@mountainsandmayhem739 yep -- I grow popcorn (Japanese Hull-less rocks) because I'm sandwiched between a couple of farms. Popcorn trumps feed cord. Feed cord trumps sweet corn. When I see dueling soybean fields, I'll consider Sweet Corn. The longer maturing Silver Queen gives me the best protection from critters -- I think the racoons are on to something else by then vs. the earlier maturing varieties that have been devastated in my S. MI garden. YMMV.
Luke...why do my peppers grow incredibly tall? All of my pepper plants grow as big as an indeterminate tomato plant.
Maybe too much Nitrogen?
I've been planting way to close spacing/intensive. I have noticed they need to reach taller, whether for sunlight since not getting it from the sides or root competition. As such, the fruiting comes on later, compared to those with more elbow room, but it does come on!
This was the worst year we have had for growing peppers.
Lost all of the bell peppers this year to disease. Only the jalapeños escaped.
