I always wondered if people would actually steal your pots. Peppers can be replaced easily enough, but losing pots can get expensive. Hearing that no one ever messed with yours restores my faith in humanity.
Glad to hear there aren't thieves in your neighborhood. I hear about friends getting their potted figs stolen from their front yard occasionally. Thanks for the tour.
This year my harvest wasn't great. My plants languished in solo cups too long due to the cold spring in Minneapolis. I should have up-potted to gallon pots, but I had too many pepper plants, and it was too overwhelming. I still got I don't know how many pounds of all sorts of screamers. I'm fermenting this year, and today I got my first grow tent. I'm going to extend the season and see if I can't get a few more pods. Who knows, maybe I'll have some Christmas presents. Thanks Rob!
I grow a lot of plants and flowers in pots in my front garden here in the UK. I remember about five years ago I was leaving to go out and there was a woman walking around my front garden admiring all the plants. I asked a friendly, “can I help you?” And she just replied “no love, I’m just admiring all these lovely plants.” 😂 I’m not a very confrontational person, but considering that she would have had to open a gate to be in there, I feel that my reply of “well this isn’t public space, so you know…” was justified 🤣.
Great job as usual Rob. We are supposed to dip down below freezing overnight in southern Ontario. We’ll see how the very few remaining ghosts handle it. Harvested the last of my special herbs 🔥 today before the frost threat. Got 17 jars worth, plus today’s bounty, from the season.
Estoy impresionado con la calidad y amor con la que usted hace sus videos, he visto todos sus videos al menos unas 3 veces y no me canso de volverlos a ver. Estoy ansioso por ver que nos tendra preparado para este año 2024, si me permite hacerle una sugerencia, me encantaria ver nuevos cultivos, como tomates, pepinos, rabanos, zanahorias, etc, y por que no, una locacion mas grande como un patio trasero o algun terreno grande para cultivo, saludos cordiales Cat y Rob !!!
I did shoot the intro/outro and commentary a few days back. It's been pretty nice overall and the leaves have not started to change color yet. 60ºF again today!
I'm preparing to install a heavy-duty clear tarp over my 8x12 raised bed garden to overwinter the peppers. I stopped doing this about 5 years ago when I would keep my pubescens peppers alive for up to five years. The worst condition for me is strong winds, so fingers crossed I don't have that issue.
Rob, I’m looking for a particular type of pepper that I’ve grown many years ago I think I was 16 years old at that time. It stands upright, it’s about 1.5 inch in size maybe even one inch. I don’t know the name of it because the seed was given to me that far back. Maybe 50 years ago. The pepper plant also stands up right too. The heat is probably at 100. I can’t seem to find it so far. It looks similar like a Santa Fe but it’s not a Santa Fe. The fruit is smaller than a Santa Fe. When I grew them I sold the pepper fruits for $10 per lb, that was back then. I sell them to restaurants and grocery stores. Asians would take a bite first then when from the taste test they’ll buy it. Anyways, I just love your videos and how it’s not boring and you just make it so interesting and how you just know so much about the peppers you grow. You truly have that passion for your plants that makes me admire you. Just live it!
Hello! I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean about the colors in brackets. Exotic Hot Peppers is one of my seed sources. I got the Midnight BBG Blue from a member of the Pepper Freaks! group on Facebook.
What Zone is this gentlemen in? I am in 8b and he mentioned August is the peak pepper month. I was a little late to plant my pepper starts, they are looking somewhat full, but I have pinched all the flowers up until now, have I over pinched? Can I still get a decent harvest if I let it do it’s thing from here?
I will tell you that I did have a little incident with some of our neighborhood kids going in our backyard and picking some of my peppers that were hanging off of one of the plants over my garden fence, and guess what evidence I found that this happened? Well, one of the peppers that they picked was one of only two crosses between a chocolate bhutlah and a red ghost, one of them was missing, and guess where I found it? It was on the ground right in front of my garden hose on the side of my house with a bite taken out of it and the hose was never turned off. You know what that tells me? One of the kids picked it off the plant, took a bite and regretted it and ran for the hose LOL There was a couple of our neighborhood kids that was previously interested in my pepper plants and I was nice and gave them a few of the really mild varieties to which they liked, but they were also playing around with the peppers challenging each other. I told them never to go in my backyard and take any of the peppers without me being there because I told them most of my varieties would be way too spicy for them. Apparently they didn't listen LOL
Well… Dear hot peppers connaisseur… I have an important question for you. I have been trying to grow some scotch bonnets for 2 years now. However, I failed every single time. I got my seeds from Botanical Interest this year. Would you please let me know the steps you usually follow to grow those? I reside in a 10B zone and I grew up in the Caribbean so one would think that I should how to do this😢. I just keep on failing. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
@@7PotClub Thank you for answering. Fist growing season, I bought my seeds from Amazon - No germination whatsoever. Second growing season, I bought my seeds from Amazon again - Placed them in wet towels inside of a ziplock bag and on top of a heating pad. Few germinations observed. However, after transplanting into small cells and still placed on the heating pad. Nothing grew out of the cells. Also, I used growing lights.
If you buy seeds from Amazon, you need to make sure you're buying from a trusted seller. There are many scammers who will send you worthless seeds. It's happened to me. I recommend www.semillas.de/shop_en/index.html. I can't give you detailed growing instructions in this comment, but I do have several videos about how to start hot peppers from seed if you want to check them out. Good luck!
Did you just say you slice up a super hot and put it on a peanut butter sandwich?! You’re one of the coolest Rob lol Much love from the west coast of 🇨🇦
I'm so sorry!! I live in england and I grow hot peppers, but if I walked past your home and saw chillies, I'm gonna struggle not to take a closer look. WORSE, I'd want to knock on your door and talk peppers, and then feel compelled to give you some rare strains, but think you beat me on that front!!
@@7PotClub just watched it can't believe I missed it!!! Love your content. I am new and so happy to find some videos to go through this week with an awesome host!
I am very sensitive to shaky video and it would be a game changer is you used some sort of stabilizer and also remember to pan slowly. I loved the chipmunk. I used to have them and they were my favorites. Unfortunately my neighbor lets her cats outside and the cat killed all of them.
If you don't mind me asking, where do you get your soil from, and how much should it be expected to pay if someone wanted to do something similar to your garden as far as size goes?
I use Pro-Mix organic potting mix. I buy it from Menard's, a big box hardware chain here in the midwest. I save and reuse it every year, adding soil amendments like compost. There are so many costs. Pots, fertilizers, etc. I bought my supplies over many years, so it's really hard to estimate a total cost. If I was starting from scratch, the soil alone would probably be a few hundred dollars. Hope that helps!
Good evening Rob. Thats alot of peppers!!!
What do you do with all the peppers?!😮
Vraiment top bravo 👍
A bientôt

I'm sure he doesn't live in the ghetto. If he lived here he wouldn't have pots, peppers, or beds.
Crime has gone up in our neighborhood that last few years, but pots don't seem to interest the perpetrators.
They steal mine all the time lol jk
Enjoyed the video rob, top notch as usual. SMOKEY JOE!!
Always good to hear from you, Smokey Joe!
I can’t wait for next season!
Absolutely amazing! You're A PEPPER LEGEND!
Thanks! I'm a legend in my own mind. 😉

So nice. Thanks!

Nice end of season tour, Rob! Thank you for the shout out!
Anytime Matt! Thanks for all the awesome seeds

Our garden is right next to the sidewalk, so it's pretty inviting for passersby. No gate, though. I think you were justified.

Love the video, Rob! I am back to growing this year after a break. Can’t wait to share my pepper shenanigans🌶️🌶️🌶️
That's great Frank! I look forward to that
I was about to comment on your weather before you mentioned it was shot in august! Hope you were happy with your season this year Rob!
I did shoot the intro/outro and commentary a few days back. It's been pretty nice overall and the leaves have not started to change color yet. 60ºF again today!
Thanks for the mention and your loyalty, Rob!! 😍 We'll be more than happy to provide you with our products again.
You are the best!
Pepper head here, which was yours?! Time stamp?
Those peppers look incredible Rob 🤤

🎶 Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure capsaicin......🎶 lookin boy....
Lookin like a hipped out willy wonka
I'm taking this as a compliment ❤️😀🌶️
Hello! Question, how do you control whiteflies organically? I had my charapita plant and was infested with whiteflies 😢
you blew it on the outro music i love that song
Sorry about that. Mistakes were made. Just changed to a different video editing app.
Great way of marking your plants, I will try to do similarly next year, it's better than the "I wonder what this is?".
Here's where I get my labels: www.everlastlabel.com
Hi Rob, seems like your not posting very much anymore.
hope your well and look forward to your return
I'm doing great. Working on a new project I'll be launching soon. Thanks for asking!
Hey Rob!
Why in ‘EXOTIC HOT PEPPERS’ colors of the peppers are in brackets?? Should I ignore that?
Btw where did u get Midnight BBG blue pepper seeds?
Hello! I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean about the colors in brackets. Exotic Hot Peppers is one of my seed sources. I got the Midnight BBG Blue from a member of the Pepper Freaks! group on Facebook.

I'm in zone 4b in Minnesota.

My first thought was do people steal the plants or peppers

Ha ha. Usually one bite is enough
Well…
Dear hot peppers connaisseur…
I have an important question for you.
I have been trying to grow some scotch bonnets for 2 years now. However, I failed every single time. I got my seeds from Botanical Interest this year.

Your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm sorry you're having so much trouble growing your Scotch Bonnets. I'd need to know a little more. Do the seeds germinate? At what do they fail?

do you make your own compost?
I make a little compost, but not enough for my needs. I only have room for one compost bin.
