O Canada. You've given me Joni Mitchell, Rush, Trailer Park Boys and now The Ripe Tomato Farms! Jeff keep this up man. I just found your videos about a week ago and have enjoyed every single one. Shout out from the Southern US.
I love your channel. Your videos are so informative and have helped my garden grow immensely. I have a terrace garden, so most of my fruits are in containers. They were all on the verge of dying. One pepper plant completely lost all of its leaves and flowers and was just a stalk. Watching your videos I’ve learned so much and now my garden is thriving. That same pepper plant now has 16 peppers and is thriving. I look forward to your videos and can’t wait to incorporate more of the container veggies you’ve suggested in your last video into my garden. 🥦🌶🫑
Hi Jeff, love all your videos, I’ve been watching for a long time now and you are still a wealth of information. Still watching here in south west Missouri, maybe one day my garden will be as productive and beautiful as your. Keep filling our mind with your great info. Thanks again.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms well really nothing, we had a tremendous amount of rain this spring and into June then it just turned very hot and dry. Everything has grown very leggy and spars, not productive at all. I’m in zone 6b here in the Southwest Missouri.
@@rlbgardener6465 it was such a weird weird year with the weather. Hard, no doubt. It's why quick crops like peas, lettuce, spinach, etc are so valuable!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms it surely has been, I hope your garden is doing good. It has been great visiting with you and thanks for your replies I do enjoy your videos and looking forward to more of your wealth of knowledge.
Ya Jeff. That is really Informative. I started peppers late so now I may have a brighter harvest. Thanks so much. I felt a little bummed before and now I am not.
You can still get lots Rick! I think we'll have an extended September too.....I have canteloupes that are counting on at least 6 more weeks of warm weather, LOL! :-)
I'm in the PNW, and I've found that higher temps work well for ripening peppers. I grow my peppers in raised beds, and this time of year I simply use 1/2" pvc bent to make hoop houses & drape 6 mil clear plastic over the beds. This makes it plenty hot for peppers to ripen even when the daytime temps get down into the 60's...inside the plastic it's 90+.
So true! I completely agree... It's the cooler temps that stall ripening... So if you can keep those temps higher, most definitely your peppers will ripen faster! Good stuff!
Unfortunately my peppers are done for the season. My plants started wilted as though they needed water. When that didn't help, I pulled a plant out. Just as I thought.....the dreded root knot nematodes. Well it was great while they lasted. Time to start over. Thanks for your tips on ripening the peppers. I never knew that. We use a ton of peppers in our meals. We mix the green and colored in our dishes. It's good to know that the riper ones have more nutrition.
Oh no Shirley, sorry to hear that! Is it common where you guys are? Any thoughts of going strictly container-style for peppers in the future to escape that?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms I actually had some in containers but I used my soil. It's just a sad fact in Florida that a lot of us deal with. Especially in the heat of the summer. I got quite a few peppers this year which was good. I'll just start more. Maybe I'll use store bought soil for a test. Fingers crossed it will work better.
We stuff with brown rice and burger and don't care about color, But sometimes they are better so we enjoy them either way they are our favorite summer meal.
I try to grow peppers every year, the only ones I've ever had any luck with is cayenne, I don't know why my bell peppers never do good, watching all your videos to see if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong! Love your quickie videos, straight to the point!
Isn't that crazy Jo?! I knew they were a bit more packed with nutrients...being on the plant longer....but I had no idea HOW much more nutritious they were! :-)
So many green peppers on my greenstalk. I am in Michigan so will leave on until they turn as close to red as possible. Hopefully before first severe Frost.
Thanks for the heads up Jeff about the ethylene gas ! I watched others suggestion here on RUclips and tried the banana in a brown bag method and other stuff,but none of them was working so I ended up making a truckload of green pepper relish with this years harvest.
Awesome explanation of all the bits I needed, turns out my pepper variety is just a lot longer than I expected so they still have time to groan and turn red.
Damn! I had my maldivian heart orange fall over and break my scotch brain about 4" from the soil. It was LOADED with huge very green, very hard peppers. I do have 8 other scotch brain plants going but the pods on this plant were 2x the size of all the others and it was chock full. DAMN!
Thanks Jeff, I’m having a great harvest of green peppers her in CT. My problem is that even though they look beautiful on the outside, half of them have brown rotting seed clusters inside. I stopped growing cherry peppers 10 years ago for the same reason. Help, what can I do about this?
Sorry to hear that Dale! Black seeds isn't necessarily as long as there's no mild. It usually means that the peppers are drying out.....but they are still totally edible! :-)
Wow how do those few leaves support so many giant pepper fruits?? Like mine are the same size but barely are able to grow any past the size of a mandarin before they turn brown in one spot or get a hole (probably because It’s like 92 degrees every single day here and the leaves are always shriveled from the heat but open back up a little bit once the sun sets. Also I kind of was too late to discover caterpillars and yellow mites infesting almost all the plants and a lot of it them are totaled :( However this was still my first year of grow bag and garden bed gardening and next year I’ll make sure not to make some of the simple mistakes I’ve made this year : not mulching and watering less often, not pruning my tomatoes or peppers as they grow, not staking the big tomatoes and peppers because they all ended up bending into the soil and snapping, also keeping the grow bags under the porch roof because most summer days it’s just way too scorching and you can feel the Texas UV rays intensely burning your skin
Its astonishing Daniel...I don't get it either. When they are ballooned with like 8-9 large peppers, it just looks comical compared to the piddley amount of leaves, LOL! Yeah, the heat will definitely do them in...especially if they are in containers.
What about young, not fully-sized bell peppers? Will those potentially ripen off-vine? I want to take them off of my single-fruiting pepper plants, to encourage flowering, and multiple fruit to grow rather than it just focusing on one fruit (not even flowering, just wants to grow the one).
The reason why the red pepper is higher in nutriants because that is when God designed it to be picked. It's obvious when you observe the majority of fruits that have a transition colour to red, you always pick it at that point. Ie , blackberries, currents, tomatoes, cherries, why should man dictate the pepper to be any different? especially when it is in the nighshade family and can cause gastric upset in many people, un ripe nighshades and your asking for gut trouble.

So glad to hear that Kasondra! And so glad that you are terrace gardening! Love it! Every year it'll get better and better, trust me!
I had no idea of the nutritional value of ripen peppers. Patience to ripen them seems the key. Thanks!
I was amazed too Virginia! I figured a little bit... But not that much!
He doesn't either, the only significant increase is vitamin c. And sucking a lemon would achieve that.
Time to check peppers for ones that are starting to ripen. Thanks
Cheers Bev, happy Sunday!

Jeff you grow our minds with your info. Never knew red peppers were more nutritious. Get tips for ripening thank you 🙏🏻
Isn't that crazy Jo?! I knew they were a bit more packed with nutrients...being on the plant longer....but I had no idea HOW much more nutritious they were! :-)
Great info in a short! Thanks for sharing and take care!
So interesting!!! I had no idea about the different nutritional contents.
Another great video, Jeff
Love you man
Thanks so much! Happy Sunday man. :-)
I was waiting for my green bells to turn red on the vine. Instead, they rotted. Caught them before they all went to waste though.
So many green peppers on my greenstalk. I am in Michigan so will leave on until they turn as close to red as possible. Hopefully before first severe Frost.

There are worse things than delicious green pepper relish attila!! :-)
Thank you , I try to explain but your video says it best ..
Cheers!
Awesome explanation of all the bits I needed, turns out my pepper variety is just a lot longer than I expected so they still have time to groan and turn red.
Appreciate the tip even though I don't grow peppers! Will try the ripe banana with my green tomatoes.
Let me know how it works!
Jeff, my track record with bell peppers has usually been hit or miss. This year is a home run. Show us more, please!
So lovely
Thanks!

Wow that was a lot of peppers!!! 😊

And yet Brandy...never enough! :-)

Thank you enjoyed. What is your stone covering your soil ?
Green bells are delicious
Right?? Love them!
I had two tomatoes horn worms destroy my bell pepper plant. NEEMS OIL treatment did nothing, any advice?
Dang, sorry Naomi....for hornworms, manual removal and parasitic wasps are the most effective treatments.

I want to take them off of my single-fruiting pepper plants, to encourage flowering, and multiple fruit to grow rather than it just focusing on one fruit (not even flowering, just wants to grow the one).
My peppers look crisp and healthy while they're green, but rot while they turn red. Any ideas why?
Hey,I have peppers and they are only turning Red no yellow or orange .How do I get yellow ones
Buy an orange variety.
The discrepancies are staggering they aren't staggering but they are there.
Hi sir
Howdy
Wait i watched the next episode but didn't learn about nutritional content?
Literally swimming?
Literally
The reason why the red pepper is higher in nutriants because that is when God designed it to be picked. It's obvious when you observe the majority of fruits that have a transition colour to red, you always pick it at that point. Ie , blackberries, currents, tomatoes, cherries, why should man dictate the pepper to be any different? especially when it is in the nighshade family and can cause gastric upset in many people, un ripe nighshades and your asking for gut trouble.
