I purchased a couple of those tray this year and they so good! I often forget to water so they have saved me and my seedlings!

I'm fortunate to work at a restaurant. I get jalapenos, peppers, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, blueberries and whatever else I grab. Also, unlimited scraps, coffee grounds and eggshells for compost. Don't underestimate a cook job.; We have clear top, to go boxes and I can fill them with soil from outside, plant 12 jalapeno seeds and toss them in the back window of my car and they'll germinate in a week. Our pickles, butter, salt and sugar all come in food grade 5 gal buckets. Last year I planted six of them with Russets and Yukon Golds I got from work. I'm telling you, if you want to garden for free, get a restaurant job! Great videos too. I've been watching for years!!

@MrFooqair 5 месяцев назад

One thing I've noticed, whether I plant red or green peppers, I get green every year. I'm guessing it's the dominate trait or maybe cross pollinated at the farm. Any one know?

@krazmokramer 5 месяцев назад

@@MrFooqair I have been told that red, yellow, orange, etc peppers from the grocery store or food service suppliers are hybrids. You only get the hybrid fruit one growing season (that was the season your original pepper grew.) After that, you get one of the original parent stock peppers (usually green). But I'm new to vegetable gardening, so I may be wrong. But I've never been wrong before!😂

@eileenbartnick7202 5 месяцев назад

Hello! ALL peppers start out green and can be eaten at that time. They will "ripen" to their true color when allowed to stay on the plant long enough. Happy gardening!!

I started my peppers 2/20. Last frost date is mid April. They are almost ready for their second set of leaves. I never knew about soaking them in hydrogen peroxide. Thanks.

@craighalle7892 5 месяцев назад

I have harvested pepper seeds that I plant. I harvest them only because they were delicious and I wanted to grow more. I start mine in small restaurant plastic containers so I know what grows on and can transplant them to 3 inch pots once they get adult leaves. I just never knew I needed to start them this early. Thanks for that Brian. I keep them watered on the heat mat and everything seems to grow well. I use a small plastic fork to dig up and move the plants to gently transplant them with little harm. Just one more wonderful video Brian. May the Lord keep blessing you and yours.

I learned two things from this video. I’m in Zone 7B. I started my peppers in early February because many of them were super hot and I knew they would take about a month to germinate. I patiently waited 6 weeks. Nothing happened. I was so frustrated. Then I came across this video, and I saw your method of using the H202 and paper towel method. With nothing to lose, I tried again. This time the seeds sprouted 7 to 10 days later. I just planted them in pots and waiting for the plants to pop up. I’ll let you know. The second thing I learned was that plants are happy in pairs so when I planted the sprouts I made sure to plant them in pairs. I didn’t know that. Thank you for teaching me these two things. Hopefully I’ll have a harvest of lots of spicy, exotic peppers to for homemade hot sauces.

Walmart's Hyper Tough 4' shop lights can also be a great deal. They have a 5,500-lumen unit for $20, and a 3,200-lumen unit for $15, and they're both 5,000k. I'm using an older version that's 5,000-lumen, and they have served me well.

@Pilawaag 5 месяцев назад

I didn't know this either until I heard Brian talk about it in one of his videos. I doubled up my jalapenos and poblanos like this in grow bags last season and feel like they produced quicker and better than when I had them growing by themselves.

@aileensmith3062 5 месяцев назад

The Rusted Garden is a big fan of planting peppers doubled up too!

@shibafan1883 5 месяцев назад

How close do you plant them in the final containers?

@Pilawaag 5 месяцев назад

@@shibafan1883 I have 25gal growbags, so I was able to space them about 12" apart, but I could see that varying between pepper varieties. You could experiment and try planting a pair closer together and another pair further apart and see which pair performs better.

We like a blend of sweet and hot. This will be our third year with peppers in our Alaskan greenhouse. Last year was a complete bust; coldest wettest summer ever! So far, one of my fave are the lunchbox and we are doing Bolivian carrot pepper. Challenging to find peppers for a short season, but who doesn’t love to google and explore? 😂

@beckypeterson7522 5 месяцев назад

I grow a mix- Hoss Seed Colossis Jalapeño, Serrano and a few 'new-to-me' tiny pickling peppers. Then Ajvarski and Lesya sweet drying peppers, Shishito, one red bell (I forgot the name) and a Habenada (no heat)... I usually always try something new...!

@JS-jl1yj 5 месяцев назад

I followed your paper towel method (from your earlier video) for germinating yellow bell pepper seeds that I saved from a fresh pepper that I was using in a salad about a month ago. I am also growing Marconi Red peppers, from purchased seeds, which are kind of longish and curvy. Now I have them in plastic cups with the first 2 leaves showing. Depending on the results, I may try some Jalapeno peppers next year. This first-time growing pepper from seed experiment, prompted me to invest into two heat mats with thermostat. In a couple of weeks, I will be using those heat mats again, to germinate my saved Chocolate Cherry and grape tomato seeds.

@terrivance8750 5 месяцев назад

Brian, A good way to discourage fungus gnats: steep Mosquito Bits or Mosquito Dunks in the water you use to moisten the soil & later water your plants w/. It contains BT (Bacillus thuringiensis), harmless to people, pets, & beneficial critters, but deadly to the larval forms of mosquitoes, fungus gnats, drain flies, & numerous other pest species. 😊

@joanies6778 5 месяцев назад

Great tip! Thanks.

@beckypeterson7522 5 месяцев назад

LOVE this! Saved my marriage (fungal gnats are the worst)...

@beentheredonethat6584 4 месяца назад

Thanks for mentioning this. To clarify, the BT in mosquito dunks is BTi (israelensis). This is not the same as the BTk (kurstaki) used for controlling leave-chewing insect larva. BTk is ineffective against fungus gnats.

@lindysmallwood2039 5 месяцев назад

First time growing seeds. I already had a. 4 Tier rack. It is 3 ft long. I bought shop lights. Works great. They were only $17 dollars each. I think heat mats are a game changer.

Brian, Some of us are still using old T8/T5 compact florescent systems. Be sure to let people know that, in contrast to LEDs, the efficacy of these bulbs diminish over time &, thus, will need to be kept lower w/ each year of use to make up for the loss. 😊

I use a really cheap toilet paper because it breaks down better than paper towels and holds the moisture better. When using paper towels it can be difficult to remove the seeds without breaking the roots with the toilet paper it falls apart when you add water.

We’re on our 3rd round of planting several different types (about 7-10 varieties) of pepper seeds in our greenhouse. Some germinated, some didn’t. We’ve had more struggle this year than any, except with our own seeds that I saved from last year’s peppers. Love your videos and all the helpful, educational information!! Thank you. 😊

I'm in Kansas (zone 6b) and had planned to sow the seeds directly into my raised bed after germinating in the paper towel-in-a-bag method. Is this a roadmap to failure? I don't have any way to start under grow lamps, on a heating pad, with a fan. In fact, my entire garden will need to be directly sown into the raised bed. THANK YOU for your informative videos.
