With winter almost here, many of us are shutting the gardens down....let's instead move the party indoors with these 9 amazing indoor crops!: czcams.com/video/kw1LRqWQoQc/video.html
What state are you in?
Where do you get your straw and do you worry about it being organic?

@@doodlesthegoose7085 I get it at a local feed store. I buy the organic stuff. Its only $11 a bale, and its compressed, so it goes a LONG way! :-)
Could you, please show us your over Wintered Pepper plants? or give an update? Thank you
After watching probably 10+ overwintering videos, including from big gardening channels, yours is the first one where you've actually EXPLAINED how to prune it, which, as a beginner chilli growers was invaluable. So much more helpful to explain how much of the plant I should leave instead of "clippers go brrrr" like other channels. Bless you sir, you earned a mad sub
Thanks so much for that!! I appreciate the kind words, really. :-)
clippers go brrr😅😅😅
How did it go with the overwinter of your chili pepper? I'm new to chili pepper and want some advice.
@@kaybegley9566 Honestly, really well considering how terribly I did it. To shorten the story, the foliage fell off and I basically left them out over the winter (We don't get that much frost where I am) in their original pots, and I'd occasionally take a look at them to see how they were going. Many died, but the main one i cared about was fine, he's currently regrowing his leaves to take in the spring sun. I jut chopped off a bunch of the absolutely wrecked branches and now it's growing back nicely. So if you actually follow real advice, I bet you'll have a tonne of success. This vid and the pepper geek one are good. Or check out self sufficient me's video
I've watched several videos on peppers. Yours is the best I've seen. You explain everything very simply. Great video! Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much for that! Really glad to hear that you liked it! All the best!
Coming by just to agree!
I agree!! What a treasure find❤
I’ll never throw away my pepper plants again. Thank you!
Nice job. Very straight forward video. I over-winter my peppers and it really makes for a much faster start next Spring. I do have a hack for more peppers on your plants. I planted 5 identical sweet pepper plants in 3 containers this year. I put 2 plants each in two 7 gallon containers and one in a 5 gallon container and spaced them equally apart. Each plant in the 7 gallon containers grew over 2 times the amount of the stand alone pepper. If I had to guess, my pollinators are lazy and hung out on the 7 gallon more than spending their energy flying from plant to plant. Give it a try. The root systems on peppers aren’t huge so they don’t stress when they have a buddy next to them. Good luck and happy gardening!
That's awesome Judy, thanks so much for sharing the tips!
I live in Texas, normally over winter my peppers indoors. I lost them all as the "once every 100 years polar blast" last February dropped INDOOR temp to 26°F. I lost 12 yr old chili paquin plants! Just a reminder, save some seeds as you you never know what will happen (especially in Texas).
I hear ya! I'm in Zone 9B and have a lot of variability in winter weather. It can be as warm as a mild summer or cold enough to worry about the pipes. So wet for so long the trees fall over in a windstorm or close to drought. I've learned the hard way succession planting is the best way for me to go. Usually I plant 3 times: a few weeks early, typical planting time, and a few weeks late. Some crops like peas I plant every week for 9 weeks. It's not the best method for yield or efficiency, but usually I don't get skunked.
The most comprehensive, easy-to-follow video I've seen on overwintering peppers. Thanks so much, fellow BC-er, for all your incredibly helpful content!!
Hey, thanks so much for that. Glad you liked it and that it resonated. Much appreciated! :-)
Pruning is mostly optional, the cool and reduced light storage area will cause a natural dormancy and leaf drop. Really in any case, I would give them a week after removing all the fruit before digging pruning or moving so that the plant can photosynth and build up its stores (which were all being diverted to the fruits).
this video came out exactly when I needed it, thank you.
Ha ha, very timely, I agree! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for clarifying the process for those of us that live in milder climates, because all the other gardening tutorials were about having to bring them inside.
I have a 3 year old Jalapeño plant that is fruiting even now.
No way, what climate?
I have a 3 year old Serrano pepper flowering right now in southern arizona
Alberta boy here. Great tips bro, I have about 6 types of peppers and chilies in a half barrel planter that overwinter in my dining room and have done great for 2 years now. I definitely have learned a lot from this video though. I was letting them grow leafs all winter and my yields were becoming smaller, but the peppers were much bigger and had incredible flavour. Thank you and keep it coming. New subscriber and student for life.
I saved pepper seedlings last fall that were volunteers and I'm glad I did. We harvested more peppers from those plants this than previous years when I starte from seed! I'm definitely going to winterize them. Thanks!!
Beauty!! Congrats!
I followed your advice last fall and put away all 5 of my potted pepper plants. They survived the winter and are sprouting new leaves. Waiting for the nights to get warm and I will start putting them out. I'm in SW Ontario. Looking forward to trying this with other potted plants!
Did your peppers brought greater yield or same amount?
Believe it or not just by chance i did over winter a habanero scotch bonnet/ out side with old windows and a lot of leaves/ its a very rich color green and a beautiful big bush but i have a few storys about this plant. I was first to grow this type and the guys at work made salsa. They couldnt wait to get some. One fellow on the way home went in his bag and pulled a small one out to try, he stopped at the first gas station grabbed a quart of milk and couldnt wait in the long line so started to drink it before he payed for it. Second fellow went home made his salsa cleaned up, his daughters used the pan he made the salsa in only to start yelling the eggs they made were hot. Last fellow made his and went the the mens room and you can guess what happen to him. I will never forget this plant. I didnt know bell peppers could over winter even tho i got lucky with my habanero. I learn something every time i watch your videos. Thanks.
Oh man.....always wear gloves when working with hots!! Ha ha, so dangerous!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Indeed gloves. We all got a lesson from that beautiful Plant.
@@nobullziggster4070 Ha ha I can only imagine!! :-0
Your channel is one of absolute top blessings on yt! Ty!
I did this last weekend. I brought my jalapeno inside. I repotted it to a grow bag. I didn't realize I could put the soil higher on the stem. Well instead of sending me to the grocery store again, I'm going to my basement to add more soil to the grow bag. Thanks for the tips!
Awesome Sharon! The Jalapenos overwinter so good. One of the best varieties to work with in my opinion! Best of luck!
Well done explaining how to keep Peppers Perennial. Thanks for the tips.
I’ve grown peppers for a few years and always buy new starts every spring. Thanks for the video! I’m in Ontario and will be trying this this year. 👍
U can see his love.... Great video! Best one out there!
Have never considered overwintering a pepper plant, but may have to try it this fall. I like the idea of planting them out the following spring with a healthy root system already established. Thanks!
I live in AZ. We get lows in the 30's for our winters and my peppers seem to do just fine through our winters. It still gets warm during the days 60-70°s so it doesn't stay near freezing for long. But I've had Peppers that have produced loads for 2 years now with very little down time in production.
Awesome!
Same here, 40 miles north of Tucson. Ours get burned down but come back in early summer.

Ha ha! :-)
"Or are they?" 😂🤣 I love it. I am so glad I found your
This is an awesome video! It's easy to understand what to do. I'm giving this a go with my 2 pimento plants too!
Best overwintering video I have ever seen! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Cheers Barbara, thanks so much for checking it out! :-)
Reviewing this for the winter of 2021. Thanks!
What a wonderful video on over wintering pepper plants! Thanks for sharing 👍 😊
Hey Sudha, thanks so much for watching and for the support!
Just found your channel, really appreciate the fact that you explain the process for different climates. I live in a cold desert, northern Nevada, cold, hot, Dry and windy. Growing a most things gets interesting. Keep going I like your approach.
Thanks so much Erin! Appreciate that you're getting value from the pepper video.... Thanks for the support and the kind words!
I LOVE your explanation. It's clear, it's detailed and the way you explained it, you made such a dry topic exciting! 😊😊
Thanks SuSee, appreciate the kind words and support! :-)
I had to subscribe, the way you instruct is awesome. You are so direct and informative with real info, no fluff like the others. Thank you
Right on Johnny, thanks so much. Super appreciated over here! :-)
Amazingly good video! You rock!
First time pepper daddy this year. Thanks for sharing these tips. Comprehensive and light hearted edu-tainment. 🌶🌶🌶
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching! :-)
Thank you! Great overwintering pepper tips! Going to try for the first time here in New England!
Hey, thanks Theresa! Best of luck with your peppers! It's so worth it if you have the space to store them!
I subscribed to your channel a short time ago but have learned so much.
Awesome stuff, I got over twenty Peppers & Chilli plant to over winter 😎👍🏻
Great info. Definitely going to do this.
Thank you! I plan on doing this within the next couple of weeks
Yup. I have a 4ft plant that is 2.5 years old! I get Peppers all year long in zone 9 sheltered by a gazebo and trees. It has its own microclimate. In another area are peppers that is 3 years old sheltered by an oak tree on one side. LOVE peppers!
Thanks for the comprehensive instructions.. easy to follow.
Cheers, thanks for watching! :-)
Man the details you don’t miss compared to others. 👍👍
I love peppers….especially those called « piment d’Espelette » a variety grown in the south west of France
It seems, like with all perennials, a period of dormancy, is normal. If not
required. So, mimicking out door conditions, far less light, low temps,
and almost no water would work. Our cellar, here in Maine, never goes
below 45° with very little light. While outside it's almost always below
32° (for a high temp), and less than 8 hours of direct sunlight. When Spring
comes, warmer temps, longer days, plants can be moved to our mud
room. Minimum 55° and more diffused light, longer days. This is to wake up
the plants same time as the hardy perennials outside are starting to bud.
Just in the Spring, when setting them back out, to harden off, protect them
from frost. Baby steps as Mother Nature takes.
TYFS, Mark n Rosa
Thank you! Perfect lesson. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the tips, i will be harvesting the balance of my peppers shortly, and will trim and relocate my plant for the winter !🙌
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!! SO EASY TO UNDERSTAND!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!
Thank you Rhonda, very kind of you to say. Have a great weekend! :)
Best video i have seen on over wintering ...
Thanks robert! Much appreciated!
Thank you for this video. I'll be doing this in Chicago in a couple months.
Another great informative video. Thank you.
A potted pepper plant is pretty portable, lol Thanks again, I'm trying this.
Definitely Matt... That's the beauty of container gardening!
This is a wonderful visually helpful video, thank you!!! 🌱
This is really useful knowledge thank you for taking the time to share it.
Thanks so much Cherie! Really appreciate the support!
I saw another video on this and have decided I am going to try it this year. I had some amazing peppers this year! Saved seeds but this will give me a quicker crop!!
Awesome Lisa! If they grew amazing this year, imagine them next year with the head start they'll have!
Perfect pepper prepping! Will be trying your technique today. Thank you for these helpful gardening tips ♡
Thanks! Let us know how it goes! :-)

Great presentation Thankyou!
This was FANTASTIC thank you very much, looking forward to learning more
Cheers! Thanks so much for watching! :-)
My peppers took forever to fruit this year, like almost the end of September. So I'm going to try this and see if next year I can have a better outcome.
Thanks for this great video. I'll echo what another viewer said " out of all the videos out there, yours is the most helpful".
I hear you on that.. . Even in our hotter than normal summers, some of the peppers just took forever and a day... Overwintering is definitely in order! Cheers!
Wow that's exciting can't wait to try this, thx Tim
Cheers Timothy, give it a try and let us know how it works out next spring!
Thanks for the video. I live in Napa county county and will overwinter this season!
Great video. Thank you for loading it with useful information.
Awesome. Very well done and very informative.
Pepper plant prepper.
Awesome!
Ha ha ha, I really struggled with that one!
Very timely! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks Reed, hope it helps! Best of luck with your Peppers!
This is great. Thank you! I live in Vancouver BC. It can get below 0 for weeks at a time here... and I am tired of growing peppers from seed every year. Going to try this method! Keep up the good work my friend.
Best of luck! Just remember to take down all foliage and clean the plants well...indoors you can see the pests like aphids just explode if you're not careful! :-)
Just found your Channel Through using Google to identify my peppers in my pots as I had a slight mix up in my pot labeling, picked what I thought was a sweet banana pepper to prep lunch with and that thing was a whole different level of heat from what I thought it was going to be! That Google search brought me to your video, and I am an instant subscriber I have seen many videos but yours is almost like you're holding a class for seasoned or potential and newbie gardeners! Keep up the excellent work, as I have all of my kids into gardening this year, starting from seeds and they are overly excited as my daughter was watching this video along with me! PS it was her labeling mishap that had set our mouths Ablaze! LOL
I was just wondering if I could do this for my peppers. First year gardener here! Thanks for this. Guess the peppers are coming indoors!
Ha ha, awesome! Best of luck! :-)
Thanks, just what I needed.
Awesome, glad to help! :-)
I don’t have room or Sun inside my house, so I’m going to try to overwinter my potted pepper plants under the roof of my patio, outside. I’m in zone 9 B. Thank you so much for the very helpful video!!
Just found your CZcams video! Awesome video on overwintering peppers.
This is great and perfect timing cleaning out my pepper bed in about another week! I have this one banana pepper plant that was such a great producer this year and want to keep it for next year as always all the best to you from NY USA!
Awesome! Give it a try....we have no idea what the seed availability is going to be like next year either...so its just good planning!
NY, USA here too. I did my plants last week. Let them acclimate on my porch, and brought them in yesterday.
Thanks, very comprehensive video!
Cheers, thanks for watching!
Perfect timing!
Ha ha, thanks man! I was thinking that this could help a lot of people and I was doing it for my Peppers anyways.....LOL. Have a great weekend man.
Ty...didnt know i could winterize them
Thank you I never knew this.
Great video!!! Going to try it!
I’m so glad you came out with this video! I am planning on overwintering my Jalepeño plant because it was such a good performer this year and I hope to get much more by overwintering! Once again great video!!!
Honestly, for some reason Jalapenos overwinter so good. It just makes total sense. The plant will be HUGE for next year!!
The Ripe Tomato Farms I’ll definitely post pictures next spring on Growing better!
@@MichaelRei99 Definitely! I want to see this beast when it comes back to life!
Very informative! Thanks!
Thanks Mike, appreciate that! Share it with any pepper fanatics you know might benefit from the info! Best of luck this winter man.
Great video, thanks very much. I'm in Australia and am watching my overwintered chilli plants starting to sprout now, it's the first time I've done it so I'm excited to see how they go. I did 2 habaneros, 1 pink tiger and a standard birdseye chilli. Did you by chance do a follow up video after winter for these plants? It'd be great to see how they recovered. Cheers dude.
Great info, thank u🤗🤗
Brilliant. Thank you so much.
Cheers Karen, thanks for watching!

I didn't prune last year. Leaves just fell off with time and they were producing fruit by early May. Some of my peppers have lasted four years.
Just found your channel. Subscribed, you are knowledgeable, clear with directions, AND you review, great for beginners. Retired educator, life long gardener, sporadic at times, because life happens. Enjoyed watching this video. Not on FB

Thanks John, much appreciated man! :)
Thank you, nice job !
Thanks buddy, appreciate that!
I love watching your videos at God bless you all times
I don’t have my garden built yet, but I’m gonna plant bell peppers in it next season and can’t wait to use this truck after next season’s frost!
I live in Houston texas btw and although we have really long growing seasons, in the winter it can sometimes get chilly, but not that cold; only enough to kill most garden plants
Yeah, Houston will is a tricky one....very warm area, but then it gets those 1-2 months with enough cold at night to do damage. Best to shut the peppers down from November to March, and then hit the ground running in the spring. Good plan!
Thank you for the great advice
Cheers, thanks for watching! :-)
Hello, thank you for the wonderful video. This is my first year of overwintering peppers. I grew the plants in a pot and I do have to bring them inside. I did all the steps you have included in your video, and I also did a soil drench (1/3 cup hydrogen peroxide 3% to one gallon water) to kill any bugs in the soil prior to bringing the pot into my basement.
Thank you for sharing how you drench your soil before bringing them indoors.
yes, H2O2 will kill the bugs but it kills good microbes as well...
Thanks for this. I never knew what to do with mine
No problem, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips! I was already wondering what to do with the peppers that were planted outside too late.
Definitely. You could even continue to grow them indoors...but I prefer to make mine go semi-dormant.

When you are using grow bags and you bring them inside for the winter what do you use for a tray under the bag to prevent water from getting all over the floor
Tomatoe cuttings work to. I watched a video sadly can't remember the name no credit to me, tried it, my tomatoe cuttings rooted under a led light in water. Plain tap water. Lagitness, I did notice too much water in my bottles might encourage mold though.
I'm going to test a mild mold peroxide solution. Good luck. Khang star I believe was the channel I saw.
