Allotment Diary : How to grow Chillies easily : This years Chilli Plants

- Just a quick video about how I grow Chillies.
I'm by no means an expert but I did have a really good crop this year and this is how I did it.
Treating them mean when starting to flower and then feeding them well once the chillies had set, plus growing them in pretty rubbish open structured compost seems to be the key.
I prefer the more ornamental types like prarie fire but Joes Jong was a bit of a freak plant with huge chillies.
I think the prarie fire are about 50000 ,the Joes Long 15000 and the Habanaro 250000 on the scoville scale of chilli heat.

It's absolutely crazy how many video's are out there making growing chilli's so bloody complicated. I'm pleased one of my favourite youtubers has one though because as usual you make a clear and concise video without all the bullshit. Cheers mate.
"I'm sure you've grown loads better chillies..."
Are you kidding?! Your plants look fantastic!
I guess im randomly asking but does any of you know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.
@Bryan Nova Instablaster :)
@Winston Edison thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Winston Edison it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Bryan Nova No problem :)
I keep coming back to this video as it's the most straightforward and helpful advice out there. It's my 2nd season of growing chillies - all this worked last year but now I know what I'm doing it's still useful to see how you did it. I've a couple of Joe's Longs this year and the prairie fire was so good in 2021 that I've a few of those too. Also having a go at Padron peppers as well as they are great fried and salted.
Yeah agreed! Great video
They're cracking chillies you've got there mate👍👍👍👍👍
This is the first clearest,simplest and easiest video for chilli advice.
Thank you as i was clueless what stage to do what.
i will follow your advice cos your chillis look great x
good lord !!!! after 8 years, i am watching your this video for the first time !!! fantastic video, so much chillis...i never saw that logest chilii, and your maintenance seems very simple to follow and understand and informative i am truely inspired by your video. why didn't i see your video 8 years ago !!!!!!! at last now !!!!! thanks for your guidance with slide shows, fantastic !!!! i watch again and again !!!
Well chuffed I've found this vid. I'm up in Yorkshire too. These plants look fantastic. Gonna get my planted next week and hopefully they'll turn out like these!!
Loads of respect to you sir. One of the best if not the best videos about growing home.
Great information :) I found out the hard way that high ql peat based soil (which retains moisture well) stunts their growth terribly, and that too much water will cause problem, even too much moisture in air! Your chilies look wonderful!
excellent vid, thanks for posting. i've tried to grow chillie's for the first time this year, and i now know where i'm going wrong... thanks again
Thanks for the great video. I’ve been following along and now just into May and flowers just starting. Ready to “treat them mean” 🌶😀
I was really pleased with my 4 inch Long Joes last year but now i see how it should be done. No more premium compost for my chillies.
Thanks Dan, great info.
Great video, great tips, you have taught an old boy some new growing tips! All the best.
Thank you for sharing the info. Greatly appreciate the intercut progress shots as you are explaining.
Always love the updates when you can use your crap compost and let the plant suffer. One to repost in February when the rest of us have forgotten the update. Great advice Dan.. Mossy
Great Informative Video. Will be planting these this Feb as per your suggestion!
Those Prairie Fire plants look amazing. I just ordered some seeds on the back of seeing yours. I'll follow your tips if it means I can get a plant as lovely as yours
Very excited to try this out for next years crop. Appreciate the advice.
Thanks for your Video have followed it to the letter and they are coming on Fantastic really Chuffed lol Just as an Addition to my comment not that Im a Tight Sod ! but I had lots of seeds out of Chillis I had eaten and thought wonder if can grow on from these ! left them on a tishoo to dry out ,then some months latter IE Last Feb sowed them ,only a few and they all Took off . Really Pleased just transplanted , now some 12 inches high with loads of buds hanging down .Aint got a clue what they are bought a bag full for a Quid off Salisbury Mkt last Nov.
Thank you for this informative video! I'm going to have a go with the seeds from some Scotch Bonnet-like Martinique chillies I was just gifted.
Thankyou for vid very helpful I'm growing chillies for first time and you really helped as I did not know what size pots to put them in x
There absolutely amazing plants mate, I’ve never ever seen chilli plants with so many chillis on it. I’m at the “treat them mean stage at the moment it’s Gina be hard not to water them tho but I’m guns give it a go and see if i can get some extra chillis on the plant, BRARVO mate👏
I've found that the soil (heavy clay retaining moisture) we have in south wales is chillies worst enemy but I have also found that the chillies grow much better in really poor compost that can drain easily ,so normally I use coconut coir and grow them in pots on a window.
chillies and peppers will rot from the stem up and not grow without really good drainage...
Great advice and excellent video, I've grown Jalapenos and Birds Eye this year, they've don ok too!!
Wow very nice pepper plants...i gotta get some of those..
Great advice. Just what I've come to expect form your videos Dan. Spot on.
Chris.
Hi great video, I got mine to grow near Holmefirth but I planted to late i'll have to wait till next year now
Brill, you've answered all my questions!
Thank you for your video, it's helped me loads, hope my crop is as good as yours :)
Those prairie fire are beautiful!
I've just put some cayenne, jalapeños and habaneros on to germinate, they've been lying around for years so thought I'd stay early and if they're pay iti can start afresh. But some of the cayenne are starting to pop out, need to get my ass in gear and get some pots.
Only hope mine end up as good as yours...
Nice plants. Sow the super hots in early Jan and also top them early to promote growth early - loads of light and they will thrive, as you said shit soil is fine.
I'm growing some Joe's F1 this year after seeing yours.
Your chillies are really good looking nice work
Great video Dan
Loving that Northern accent. Yorkshire? Great plants by the way and a very good video!
Thank you for the advice.
good video mate. great advice.. ''love the treat em mean'' approach lol
How are your chillies this year. Ive just started growing them. Best vid I've seen , despite being from up the hill in the White Rose County!
Wow them Plants Look Stunning Hunn. Well Done. Not bad For Living In Yorkshire Lol
Hey up! A fellow Yorkshire man also trying to grow chillies in South Yorkshire. Excellent video mate, really informative. I picked up loads of useful advice from you. Could you possibly post a link to the grow lights you use? I sent some back to Amazon because I doubted wether they they were actually any good.
Thanks for all that brilliant info.
i left mine on the window sill by the radiator all winter and they have flowered and fruited again aleady this year
He's the man! Yorkshire man! Cool, chill!!Ta!
Thats really cool,,, m trying to grow it my own chilies now😁
Good work lad. Impressive. At what point do you harvest them? I always tended to just pick them as needed and they would flower up again.
Very nice plants! :) Really like the videos, keep it up please!
Good tips thanks for sharing
Looking very nice thank you
Very useful tips, sir :) Thank you :)
Very informative. Thank you.
Hi Dan
Still loving your videos complete edible gardener newbie but did grow 2 chilli plants(Hot Carrot and Hot Banana ) this summer ...not knowing anything I planted them in my raised bed and the seemed to do well I am going to attempt to over winter them later in the year and have already collected seeds from the Hot Carrot just waiting for s few of the Hot Banana to ripen and will collect more seeds ...will let you know how I get on , Steve
I've tried growing some little chillies, sowed them on March 6th but didn't have a good 4 inches of growth until June time. Come end of July I've had loads of flowers...probably around 60 between 3 plants. It's not the end of August and after bringing them into the conservatory one plant has died completely and the other 2 are on their way out I think. I've fed them water when the soil has gone dry and I've given them tomato fertiliser probably once every 3 weeks. Has the season gone for me? Will I have to wait until next year before I can grow some more? Your video has offered a lot of great tips! Thank you+
Great vid! Good job!
Nice growing
Try growing bullet chilles usually from Kenya get them in asain shops try using thier seeds
Medium heat good taste
Hi Dan, I've watched your video a few times, to get same timings. Great video.
A question please. After they wilt due to lack of water, roughly how many days do you chance that before recommending watering?
I would love to have my chills looking like his, no more buying from the stores.
I make a sweet chilli jam with the chillies I grow. The sugar tends to reduce the amazing heat from even the hottest chillies.
good vid.. got 4 chilli plants now, a hot bannana, a cayenne, a hot lemon, and red scorpion.. all are growing great.. and getting lots of buds on.. is it neccerey to feed them when they are budding?? and why?
Beautiful pepper plants. :)
I do alright with chillis but I find with peppers that I run out of summer before they ripen although the f1 types are earlier and more compact. They are perennials and can be overwintered although it may be easier to start again with seed.
Hi fellow Yorkshireman!! What size are your final pots for the Prairie fire chillies? Cheers. Keep up the good work
thanks dan.
Nice video. My problem is not germinating but getting the chillies big enough to start pruning. Most somehow die off after the first two leaves are out. I put the soil into plastic bags, put seeds in, they always all germinate but then they dont develop any further. Maybe its too warm...here its 35degC and 45 in the sun.
+Ullimately Sounds like you might be suffering from "Damping Off" disease, a fungus that attacks the soft stems of seedlings.
Cheshunt compound is the classic cure if you can get hold of any, but any fungicidal treatment applied just as the seedling start to show should help and don't over water, keep the compost as dry as you can get without letting them wilt, keep it moist not wet.
I liquidise all mine with last toms an use it over Christmas , them granny bonnets are always late but taste good , try the Peruvian lemon x scorpion chilli , best I have tasted before the fire lol , have you had any frost yet ?
Hiya m8, great video. Quick question, my seedlings seem to be reaching up with their leaves. Any idea why they are doing this?
Amazing video, I have brought some seeds I have a few questions, do you think it would be okay to plant some now? Also how should I keep the seeds?
have you ever tried grafting them onto an early or overwintered rootstock ? im going to try it next year for sure !
You didnt say if and when you top them? I can see that you have done it, maybe around May time?
I grew Red Missile last season, and the plant did really well in good compost, and lots of tomato liquid feed. Then around August I shocked the plant with low levels of water, which incourages the plant to produce more flowers, as you said, and to divert moisture to the fruits instead of the stems and leaves.
Nice Plants, somebody gave my girlfriend a kit this year which we planted. Scotch Bonnet, Jalepenos and something else. Do you trim them at all I’ve had great success trimming my tomatoes after somebody said Grow Toms not foliage?
Wow your Prairie Fire is beautiful - My one is very small about 5 inches, very slow growing - What can i do to speed it up?
Hi bud I've just baught a chilli and turmeric plant set with 2 small pots with the seeds etc I'm new to this as only grew cannabis in the past i know the germanation process etc how easy are these to grow beside a window in the house what is the best feed to use would ordenery tomatoe feed do
Did not know chillies need so much looking after, mum got me a few plants from the local store, california wonder, scotch bonnet, redskin pepper and thai chilli, i think i over feed them to early, one of my plants was wilting and discoloured, and peppers dropping off before even flowering, my skills need alot of help for plants to be healthier, any tips on pest control and ground planted in green house too, also can a ground plant be transported back into pot?
Bang on about muck fella, I take mine straight out of back garden, great lookin chillis there dan, im really into the hot ones, trinidad scorpion, around 1.5 million scoville (was the hottest in the world once)
hi lovely plant ... how did you make the prairie plant grow tall?? tnx
I bought some Dwarf little elf's off ebay, but they didn't grow with any purple as pictured. It's funny but they look just like yours but smaller and skinnier. I guess I got ripped off and got prairie fire seeds, I grow them in a typical pot from ASDA, pot size must control the size of the plant.
Thoughts on the carolina reaper? Ideal media, yeild, NPK etc
Prairie Fire looks great, no way in hell I could eat any of them LOL Just looking at them my mouth started to burn! :-)
Where do you get your chilli seeds from dan ? Great videos by the way
Also u said use not so good compost but i just mixed up john inns number 3 , farm yard manure and perlite now I’m a bit concerned after you said dont use very good compost what garden centre compost would you recommend i use and what should i add to the mix ?
great vid
Nice!
are the joes long f1 some website say they are and im not sure whether to save seed any advise would be great cheers dan
hey dan what do you do with them later.freeze, can ,pickle, dry ??
they look fantastic what diameter pots do you use , i am growing 1 from a seed i brought back from Australia although i didnt sow it until the end of March its abour 10" high but no sign of flowers yet and its now the 13th of August
same here !!! i sowed the seeds at the end of april and they are about 4'' high. because it is getting to end of season i bought 6'' tall chilli plant from nursery two weeks ago, after hydrophonic with fertilizer it grew to 10'' today and i cut the top to make it grow bushier. before October , i am expecting bushy with flower !!!! chillis production.....may be not this year. but i will do everything to see it flowering before the winter and during winter as well. let us see !!!!
Hi
once the plant flowers how do u polinate the flowers being inside a greenhouse ?
Nice vid.
MylkyD iiiii
TRYING CHILLIES NOW MATE .
NICE
I've just got myself a Carolina reaper plant, what's a good method in growing the plant in doors please
Flowers from my chilli plant are keep falling down and cannot produce any chillies so far. Any ways to stop falling it? Thanks in advance.
I've been really struggling with aphids on mine this year.
Same here.
Fairy liquid with water once a week will kill em and keep em off
I love your chilli . It look nice
.how do u grow like that . What kind of soil do u put . The long one pepper i never seen . How do u get that . Do u s
Do u sell the seeds. Please let me know
.Thanks.
Boa noite, como o senhor faz para a polinização, está num lugar fechado.
What size pots are the smaller ones on your window sill ?
Top Man top video. Gives me hope that I can do the same
Mine are so late this year, mine have only just flowered..
When you say really poor soil, would spent compost left over from emptying last years plant pots be okay?
I have so piri piri chillies in my garden and seems like something is doing little holes on it! What is this?
Gutted.
Such a sunny day here in Sheffield that the thermometer on my windowsill has maxed out, (50'c), I think my chilies, (which I just put into a propegator a couple of days ago), have cooked!!! :-(
Can you tell me whether new horizon is good ?
Do you still use that kind of compost on chili?
