Water atleast once a week. Depends on how long does your soil hold moisture. If your soil drains faster and dries out in 2 to 3 days, then water every 2 to 3 days. The idea is to keep the soil moist and let it get to little bit on dry side before watering again.
Thank you for this video ... this video reminded me that I used to plant my house plants in my yard during the spring and summer ... they grew tons they loved it. in the fall I repotted them and brought in ... they did not like it much but they still grew ... I will see about doing this with these vegetables. Just for info I saved a poinsettia some one threw away after the holidays ... much like the vegetables in this video I nurtured it until spring and planted it outside ... it thrived and was almost like a tree when I brought in back in my house that fall.
I have been growing a pepper plant indoors for 4 years even during the summer. I have taken hundreds of chillies from it. It requires a lot of pruning and I have grown and gave away a lot of prunings. I've just harvested all year around.
Thank u! I had no idea until watching your video that I can water propagate cherry tomato and grow cutting Indoors over winter! Thank u so much! So smart!
Also if you need more tomato plants and don't have a lot of spare money (they are getting really expensive at the store), just pinch off the suckers that grow between the main stalk and the leaf and plant the sucker directly into some dirt. Keep it moist and it will root and grow into a whole other tomato plant for free!
@@valevisa8429 Well I plant the "Early Girl" variety so they have 50 days til harvest time. And you can start taking those suckers off when the plant is still quite young. You don't wait until it's finished producing to start your other plants from it.
@@blessisrael6455 I have taken cuttings in the fall, rooted them and grow them through the winter for planting out in the spring. If the plants get too large before they can go out, I prune them back or take new cuttings to root and throw out the first rooted plant. I'm doing this to save a plant that was an accidental hybrid that I don't think will grow the same from saved seeds.
If I bring in another plant my husband will divorce me. Pruning is a great tip I seem to overlook. The dining room is a complete jungle. If I see nats I’m going to scream. Buying sand ASAP. Thx for the tips!
Sounds like you have a very green thumb, and so do I. It is wonderful to grow beautiful flowers, vegetables and useful plants. Even trees from seeds, which I do too.🍐🍎🍏🍊🍋🍇🌻🌻🌻
4:35 When you trim a pepper, there are two options, depending on what you're doing. 1, if you are going to take it indoors and keep it about room temperature, it is actually good to leave the suckers, which will improve productivity next year. Focus on taking off new foliage as this will not be able to develop healthily over the winter. 2, if you are going to leave it outdoors (for an established, woody perennial plant) then take off the suckers as they will die otherwise. This causes the plant to concentrate any sunlight it gets into the main stem, expanding the woody section and slowly growing your permanent plant.
You can also do okra, collards, tomatoes, roman lettuce, celery, cabbage, onions, brocolli, pineapples, carrots the same way as you do your peppers. I like to share my information with as many as people as I can. One day it's going to come in handy.
Not only this, in the spring when your tomatoes start to grow, pinch off those suckers that grow in between the leaf and the main stalk and plant them in dirt. They will root and make even more tomato plants to give you multiple waves of tomato plants producing at different times. Also how to get more tomato plants for $0. 🙂
Anyone here have a status update? Did following this method work? It is almost time to start prepping for overwinter here, and I have a really nice Sweet Yellow Cherry Tomato that I would like to carry over to next year
This is one of the best and most helpful tips I have come across as a beginner Gardner! I had a pepper plant that I started from seed last year that did really well. I wish I had known about this method. Thank you for all of the great information you share I watch your videos regularly! Positive vibes from North Carolina 🙏🏾✨
I've been using diatomaceous earth for gnat control and it seems to work well even for earwigs / pincher bugs and other pests. The way I've heard it, DE is like glass to small insects and gets in their exoskeleton joints.
Yea, it stabs them and lets the big juice out, they dry up. But DE is most effective when ground into fine powder, most sources state that it’s only effective until it gets wet. In late summer and fall we get such heavy dew that it wets the DE that’s on leaves piles of it get a crust on top. It may still work some but it turns to concrete after a while, that’s not going to kill bugs. They may dislike the crusty piles too tho. It’s just ground up rock, I don’t think there’s any worries with using too much
I make a barrier around my beds with it and use a castile soap spray on the foliage for other pests and it's been perfect. It also works great in compost piles and worm bins for not only bugs but, molds as well and I even mix a bit into most my soils along side the bone and blood etc. to amend it.
Kale routinely overwinters. Kale sets seed in the 2nd spring to summer. Perfectly cold-hardy. The othets are all of the nightshade family and basically tropical...
I have been overwintering cherry tomatoes for years. I usually keep one in a pot and bring it into the house for the winter. I enjoy a few tomatoes all winter long! But overwintering the peppers were new to me as of last winter, so I am eager to try it this year.
I live in zone 9B and always overwinter my tomatoes and peppers outside with little or no pruning. I cover them if we get nighttime temperatures in the low 30’s. I get spring and fall harvests because the summers are too hot here.
I wish I'd seen this a while back. I didn't know enuf, and left my okra, peppers, bell pepper, eggplant,tomato and friggin kale out. Which BTW they were producing like crazy. Oh well I know now, and will be sure to bring my new ones in. First time grower last year, so much info out there. Was interested in only planting things that return like I do my plants. This time I'll be ready.
I am in a 8B zone and i have over wintered peppers under my carport. As long as they can be protected from the elements they survive. Unheated garage offers even more protection and warmth.
I don't have a greenhouse and not really any place to put them inside my home. How would my cherry tomatoes and peppers do if I put them in the garage? I do have a window that gets some sun. I didn't hear any mention of how much sunlight and water they'll need during the winter. Thoughts on this? Thank you for such a wonderful channel!
I know you left this comment a while ago but thought I would respond anyway…I watched this video last year and overwintered my bell peppers and jalapeños in the garage. I didn’t want to have to deal with bugs in my house. I have a great spot in my garage that is right in front of a large window. I have to be honest, I didn’t take care of my plants as much as I should have…meaning I would forget to open the shades to let in light at times and I didn’t water them consistently. BUT all of my pepper plants made it through except one. It was great not to have to repurchase those plants again this past spring. So…yes, the garage works! I’m doing the same thing again this year. My only caution would be the temperature in your garage. I live in zone 7. We get below freezing temps and sometimes into single digits but not often or for very long. This year I bought some mulch that I’m going to use on top of the soil to hopefully add more protection. I may also cover with burlap on the really cold nights to help keep temperatures warmer. Hope this helps. Good luck!
Great info! I knew about over wintering peppers, but not the others mentioned. I have seedlings still as backup plants, but so far, my in ground plants are doing well... I may just go ahead and plant them in buckets so they can be brought inside later. I won't transplant okra because it grows so fast... but taking cuttings from tomatoes and rooting them, absolutely! Last year I had a late volunteer growing a tomato plant out of the side of my compost pile. I got some tomatoes that ripened inside with the stems in water... should have let them root, too. I just think it's safer to spray with neem oil and use fresh indoor potting mix before bring them inside. I have a big sunroom I can use plus my lights I used when they were seedlings. This will be fun.
I was raised on a working vegetable farm, our primary crop being tomatoes. We had other veggies as well. I learned much about the other veggies you covered here. Thanks. I'm so excited to try out my new found knowledge! Happy Farming!!
Just start your seed inside with a light 24 hours a day. Or daylight and light at night. Those will get growing fast. Tomatoes will grow inside very well and set fruit too. Good luck
Thank you for the peroxide mention. I have trouble with fungus gnats when starting plants each year. Not this next year thanks to you. My peppers.and 2 tomatoes will be over wintered this year too.
I only knew about overwintering peppers. This was a very good video, will make gardening so much easier and more productive for me. I subbed and rang that bell.
Well done! The most information I have learned from online gardeners! I have been gardening just a few years but trust me I have watched TONS of other gardening videos. I wish I had watched yours first! THANK YOU!!!
Dude you are the man jag please continue with your videos I'm a very busy person so I don't have time for people to get off track that's why I look at your videos right to the point..I love your streams ❤️❤️❤️
Same. I had about 8 bell pepper plants out of which six made it. Now I only have 3 left after the summer. Only 1 produced 2 green bell peppers. I happily used those 2 and thanked God for what I was given. These are first year plants so I'm going to take the remaining plants up and try to overwinter them on my back sun porch through the winter. Tomatoes are VERY easy to root cuttings. I just put the directly into the dirt and they root just fine. Going to bring some of them in and get new starts going for the spring garden. Never knew you could do Okra like this too. I've got about 12 hills of that and will try to overwinter them too. Okra is a great producer and it feels like you get a bounty every few days. I'm about to put collards, cabbage, broccoli, and carrots in for the winter garden.
@@nicoletaelias2559 I take sucker cuttings and root them with a little moist soil. They root pretty easily, and they're nice and big when next spring comes around
Hello. Jag Thank you ur advice Already I kept my plant in sun room If below 45 , night we keep light on I got a motivation from ur gardening Still outside I have okra and tomatoes, still harvesting I planted radish and kale outside I kept some tomatoes branches in water Really I found roots and kept in pots Thank you so much God bless you 👌
Excellent video my friend. I will try this method with my pepper. One question please: do you water the plants once brought inside during winter? I would appreciate your response and keep up the good work
This is so great! I planted tomatoes late this year, because our cat knocked down my seedlings in spring. Even though I have pruned my tomato plants way back to focus on ripening the fruit they have on before it gets too cold, I think I can save some cuttings, peppers too! Between this and the video about cuttings from herbs and lettuce, I will also be able to get some good starts for my aquaponic garden tower I can grow indoors during winter as well. You just saved me some trouble of starting all new seedlings in rockwool. Thank you so very much!
Using the sucker as an overwinter is a great idea! It never occurred to me and I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else. Thank you, I will definitely be using this method in the fall!
I don't know what to do w/my artichoke & can't seem to find help on YT. It looked so sad when I planted it in June, but in Aug. it shot up new foliage. It looks so healthy as do all my other veggie & fruit plants. I didn't know it wouldn't produce till Year 2...I'm in NE, MT/Zone 4. It's very arid in this region, I'm hoping someone on this channel has helpful advice. The channel creator doesn't seem to reply much. *I also would like to know the biggest Q posted...How much water & how often???* Cheers, ~ Covah
Yes, and extremely fast too!!! I tried it this year and wow, the results were incredible!!! So many roots it was incredible! I took the sucker's off my tomato plants, put them in a clear glass and water, and put them on a windowsill that gets lots of sun. Worked like a charm! I can't wait to try it again! :) The only thing I did do was change the water every other day, and top off the water daily...they are very thirsty! :)
Tomatoes will grow down to freezing. In Michigan we regularly grow tomatoes right up until the first snow. To be fair the leaves start to die back but the fruits continue ripening until a hard freeze
It got pretty cold in Sydney but my chilli plants survived some pretty low temps while still having fruit but I pruned it back a few months ago and it’s starting to come back already
Hello from Ontario. Out winters are nasty here an I've brought my pepper plant it last year an put them back out in late may.An they did well.this year I'm bring in my kale.Cause in summer months they had a slow start since the bugs got to it. I'm hoping that next year the plant will have a better chance if its bigger.here keeping fingers crossed.
My eggs plant didnt even get a chance to grow. Do you think I could grow one over the winter so it gets big enough for never year?. I only have a bastment
You can overwinter. you will need a grow light in the basement. However, your electric bill might be more than the money you would save from growing eggplants. Best if you can place eggplant by the window.
🎉Found this JUST IN TIME!!! About to clear out my garden and looked at other videos about overwintering individual plants --but YOURS is the ONE stop shop for overwintering, Jag👍 Much gratitude. PS my okra is 8 feet tall 😲
Hi Jag nice video we don’t have that problem in our country Trinidad 🇹🇹 we have two parts first half of the year it’s hot the second half the year it’s rain just be safe you and your family stay safe bye.
I wish I had seen this video yesterday. Tonight will be 35 degrees outside. If I had known, I could have overwinter my eggplant and my okra. I took in 3 pepper plants yesterday. Darn, I could have save some tomatoes too.
I overwintered an eggplant last year successfully. It bloomed indoors and I used a watercolor paintbrush to pollinate it, but it never fruited. I’m not sure my wife will let me occupy the dining room again this year!
THE LIST ACCORDING TO THIS VIDEO, ... if protected from frost, will last you, but have to be perennial by nature in a warm climate. PLANTS NEED A TEMPERATURE AT OR ABOVE 55°F AT ALL TIMES. GREENHOUSE, OR IN YOUR HOUSE. 🏡 Peppers, all kinds 🌶🌶🫑🫑 Eggplants 🍆 🍆 Okra Tomatos 🍅 🍅 Kale.
Hi Jag, which month of the year we should over winter tomatoes ? I live in Vancouver BC and tried your method 2 weeks ago, but the plant branches start drying!
PLEASE TELL me IF IS FOR REAL 😳 WOULD IT WORK WITH TOMATO cutting. PLANT???... my living room and dining became like a jungle ... me bringing inside my flowers pots.
OH! I didn't know the tomato trick! I'm SO overwintering them!!!! ... And dint know you could overwinter okra! Gonna try with my itty bitty 1-foot Okra plants too. Hopefully, they will get enough of a headstart for next year. Maybe I'll get more than the 10 okra pods I got this year! LOL THANKS!!!!
Hi Jag. Here from zone 6a USA. What zone is your garden? I'll be topping off my big boy tomato Indeterminant volunteer and suckers to root in water. No green house so would rather not bring plants inside house. Side laying in shallow trench worked great for our leggy ones last spring from seed. BTW. Have you noticed some saying clone plants. Yuck. Next chips will be offered to broadcast home garden results. Like I need more info buzzing by w. wifi. Grrrr.
I’m so sad We converted a gazebo into a nice Green House started many plants but took over Repairs for a sinkhole 2nd round bad Co. 1st round My daughter & I converted the green house ourselves & fired Co dealing with Sinkhole & we’re doing the wrk ev one we hire is some “I’m a carpenter”🙄😱 so my plants grew but suffered getting planted! I’m replanting them to lgr containers to grow till Spring & hopefully get a good start w/lgr plants. I really appreciate your site TY. Will subscribe.
Thank You Me disabled will share it I am dying so wont be around for it. Thank You me a disabled senior with tears in my Eyes for my plants as well as my dogs and cat Great Viedeo I am very weak. Good Bye
Hi! I overwintered many pepper and eggplants plants. Today its the last frost day in my region (Pacific Northwest US) and it is still cold outside. Its when I begin my indoor seeding. Question: How do I know the stumps are alive? I cut one a few inches down and it has some green stuff in it, not completely dry. When will the leaves sprout? I just need to know if I seed new plants or not :)
Here in Zone 9b TX the problem is less about cold, and more about the SUN! The sun roasts everything and you have to constantly think of ways of shading your plants.
I'm so excited. Just bought a new home and started a late garden. I have a beautiful cherry tomato plant. Can it be saved whole? Or just by cuttings? I have a sunny spa room. Or sunny south windows in the basement. I'll do both ways. It's my first winter in twenty two years. Florida is overrated. Way too hot.
I am watching your video but m thinking with my small space and with no greenhouse where exactly will I put all these and m thinking what if I do my own experiment of not digging the plants but protect them maybe using canvass material ...will see unless you can advise me otherwise 👍❤️🇿🇦
