In this video, we share how our pepper garden is doing in the month of July. It has been a hot summer so far, and the plants have faced some challenges. Despite this, we are already harvesting our first rounds of peppers, with many more to come! Check out our garden this July, and let us know how your plants are doing so far this season.

I know garden updates aren’t always big hits with the algorithm, but these are always my favorite videos to watch from creators I follow. I get the same joy as when I check my own garden.
Thank you for sharing and I'm glad you enjoy. Agreed they don't "perform" as well, but we like to share and also document our seasons. Fun to look back on later for us too!
this is very scare, cat is sad
Definitely more updates like this. Helps me keep track of my progress and also pick up any tips you guys may have used/learned along the way. Pest pressure especially.
I really like the idea of MONTHLY updates of how the season is progressing ... thanks.
It really does help
Would love more frequent updates of the pepper garden. It's nice to see and compare to how my garden is doing
Mine are growing fast since August. Now I’m swimming in peppers, gonna make a sauce or two…or maybe a much more 😂
More updates for sure, I'm north of you in Canada and our growing season is even shorter. Curious to see how your peppers are already so much bigger than mine.
This video is reassuring! I transplanted my pepper plants in May, and this month im just starting to see some jalapeños come through. I have a few Calabrian chili plants that haven’t flowered yet, and two bell pepper plants that haven’t flowered either.
I’m looking forward to the August video. Thanks again!
I got into growing peppers this summer and your videos have been a huge help. I’m currently growing hot bananas, jalapeños and serranos and I’m having a lot of success following the instructions and tips in your videos. Thank you for making them.
Well, of course do more, updates are what pepper people are here. Learning, of course, but UPDATESUPDATESUPDATES...
I'm definitely up for the season updates 👍 , started growing chocolate habanero's this year following your videos . Loads of great info here , thank you.
Cool, chocolate habaneros are interesting in flavor and make unique colored sauces. Hope you enjoy them
Ooh nice. I hope my big Bertha bells and Orange bells take off. Peppers are just wonderful.
I hope so too!
Great update for comparison with own growth and some good ideas along with it, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Updates are cool. I would love to see more. I'm lucky enough to not have to deal with much beetle damage. I grow exclusively in containers and everything is going well so far. I'm not harvesting too much yet, but lots of pods are on the way. I've learned a lot from you guys and it's cool to see how your garden is going.
Yeah, here in Illinois I've had similar beetle issues. Mostly in June. Now that's its July not si much and our plants have blown up pretty good with the humid hot weather. Already picking our Corabaci and Shishito and Opa. The hotter varieties are a bit behind still flowering but are doing well.
More updates are a great idea! I am in CT also, quiet corner area. I have not had too much problems with the beetles but they seem bad this year in quantity. I grow in containers only at the moment until I finish my garden beds, but I grow all year indoors also.
Love this type of update, also useful for comparing the status of my plants with yours! In my personal garden I don't have beetle yet, but the heat wave are hitting hard... (Italy)
Glad the beetles aren’t an issue for you, it’s a struggle. Hope your plants do well!
Great update video, here in the southwest coast of British Columbia, Canada our garden is growing so fast compared to June. We are growing in mainly in pots and have had some problems with slugs and beetles early on, but now with the heat most of our pest problem has subsided. Last year we had about 50 pepper plants this year we said we would not have so many, so we have 75 this year haha, all in 5 gallon pots with a few in 5 gallon grow bags (we won't waste any peppers ill be giving them to family and coworkers if not made into sauce or preserved) our peppers ranging from no heat - very spicy and stand about 3 feet tall (some are a bit smaller) with lots of peppers starting to ripen. All of our peppers are grown with the information that I get from your videos, thank you for sharing your gardening knowledge and helping make people better gardeners
In Ct. In buckets. No beetle damage on pepper plants. Our Carmen have full size peppers, some flowers. In side yard, Asian beetles attacked Easter Lilies they love. Picked them off. Deer ate the flowers. Yum.
Here in northern TX it's just so damn hot I'm been clipping all flowers as I see them.
My plants are big and growing despite the heat. Can't wait till mid August when temps start to drop and I can get a big harvest
Despite being in a really crowded bed, my ghost peppers and barbaras antipodes are thriving. Lots of big pods, but all still green.
Monthly updates would be amazing, thank you 👍
Love a monthly update. Helps me reference where my plants should be I have a greenhouse with inground beds because we normally have cool short summers. We have been in repeated heat waves since June this year. I am considering shade cloth, at least for my bell peppers, they keep getting sun scald. Some beetle and grasshopper damage but not slowing down growth.
Yes, definitely! Enjoyed the update! Thank you😊
I love peppers, but the rabbits seem to love pepper plants! My fav are m giant Marconi red.
Liquid Fence is a good deterrent if you're having big issues with rabbits
Monthly updates are great & provide us all with a test plot. It’s been crazy hot AND dry here in Maryland. We have been watering morning and late afternoon & our jalapeños and sweet banana peppers have been doing well. We have picked a bunch already and made a few jars of pickled peppers!
Sounds great! Glad you’ve gotten them through the heat successfully 👍🏻
I have deer that LOVE pepper plants. I found white netting seems to spook them. I need to checkout the Bootstrap white shade cloth. That would protect my plants from the sun and deer. Thanks!!
Slugs are the curse where I live in Scandinavia. Slugs and garden snails. They haven't bothered my pepper plants much in previous years, so I wasn't prepared for the havoc they wreaked the first nights I left my plants out in May after a hot spell. After relocationg them the weather has been really up and down with daytime temps not reaching above 13-14C in much of june. They've somewhat recovered now, but growth has been really stunted and I fear several of my varieties wont even produce this year (namely Tianjin, Bird's eye and Tam Jalapeno - all of which have still to produce a single flower). But I'm glad to see your updates and to see there's hope even after serious attacks. Good luck and thanks for the inspiring videos.
This channel is awesome! I just started growing this year and your videos have helped out a lot! I have a ton of peppers going- Carolina reapers, white ghost peppers, mad hatters, and quite a few other selections and they are coming in greatly! Unfortunately my sugar rush stripey seeds arrived to late in the season so I’m looking forward to them next year!
Love to hear that! Glad you have a good selection of healthy plants. I'm sure next season will be even more exciting for you. As for the SRS, you could start a small plant and keep it indoors through the winter! Always nice to have even a small handful of fresh peppers in the off season.
@@PepperGeek not a bad idea, I will probably do that!
My peppers are starting to take off now, May/June was tough on them with being cool and wet, but I’m starting to get more flowers, so hopefully I can still get a good harvest too
Have around 150 pepper plants this year in the southern Adirondacks, serrano, habanero, jalapeno, fresno, sugar rush and a selection of sweet peppers. Lost a few early on due to spider mites, but most of them have thrived and are now about 3 feet tall and loaded with peppers. Biggest issue I've had has been thunder storms, which have knocked most of them over; all staked now and hopefull they'll stay upright until fall!
I love these monthly updates! Definitely more of this :)
Really nice with a monthly update :)
Would like to see it in august.
I have agrotis ipsilon (cutworm) attacking my tomatoes and peppers (mostly tomatoes) at night.
They only come out at night so you have to go out with a light and look for them and handpick them on by one. Every garden has its predator/weakness.
Dont know if my ask for this helped push to do this but thanks so much I love this style!
It did 😃
Great job. More updates please.
Thank you! Will do.
Love the channel. I have a dozen Red Ember chili plants and I am trying to make a lot of hot sauce. You 2 are awesome ❤
That is awesome! Having a whole bunch of one variety is a great thing. Fermentation would be one of my first choices to process them. Good luck!
@PepperGeek have a Ball jar that's still fermenting and also did a batch on the stove trying to do a Franks clone, but that recipe needs work.
We are cold and rainy. We are usually cool and dry. 5 times we’ve had 2inches of rain in a couple hours. This is my first year, hopefully less rain next time!
Appreciate that .... if you guys are having trouble w/ the beetles... I can not take it so hard on myself. Also having issues w/ a groundhog eating my butternut squash and pumpkins.
My sugar rush stripey struggles a lot this year .... many flowers but no fruits. The normally white flower leaves grow brown or black and the plant drops the flowers very soon 😢
Ours are bit late. We started from seed for the first time. So it is slow go. Habaneros are taking tittle longe. Jalapeños are taking off but not ready. I like them better when they are corked. Also I like the better when they are red. Patience is my weakness. I believe they will grow. Some plants did not take well. Heat, wind,rain, some cold you name it. It is really a leap of faith.
In Calera Al we are now going through constant rain unlike June which was a drought. I have 40% shade cloth up. My peppers are in food grade 5 gallon buckets. I used Kaolin Clay monthly (May and June). My peppers have been extremely productive (except Bell peppers).
We used 5 gallon fabric bags this year, and I am sold on them. We have lots of pods even on the habaneros, and some huge pods on the jalapenos and Hatches. I've even got a couple of red Hatches already! Also got a Lemon Drop and Fresno plant. The Lemon Drop pods are still small and green, and the Fresno is coming along, but slowly. Overall I'm Psyched!! ps: I'm in CT, too. :)
Awesome! Sounds like the fabric did a good job, they’re nice for when it rains a lot
Helpful to see the progress on your plants in those different growing situations, and great to see the plant resilience despite pest pressure. Would be great to see another update as we get into harvesting.
Haven't been dealing with much pest pressure here in zone 5b/6 but there have been a number of significant storms. I risked adding cages to staked plants that are well into fruiting and it was a squeeze.
Def keep it up each month thanks!
Great video guys, love the updates. Im south of you on long island and the beeteles have been brutal here as well.
My potted pepper plants were struggling in the heat so I put them under a tree to give them a break from the sun and now they are thriving. I live in lower Alabama near the gulf coast so it has been very hot and wet this month
Omgosh, those beetles haven’t given your peppers a break! 😅 Are you guys growing the Cayennetta this year? I got seeds due to your recommendation last year, but I totally neglected to sow them. 😂 Last year I grew a variety of hot peppers, but this year I’m only growing a couple jalepeno and a thai dragon pepper. The primary focus for me this season is on quicker ripening small sweet peppers. Love seeing your progressional updates! ❤
I have luck in southern PA. Already have a habanero sauce fermenting. Good luck with the beetles.
I'm in Georgia zone 8 and am just starting to see blossoms. except one of the Marconi's has fruits. I think it was too hot to bloom for a while.. 80s at night and triple digits in the afternoon.. it's calming down a little now.
All of my peppers are in grow bags and I only planted red, yellow and orange ones so I can find them easily when they get ripe.
I'm using grow bags because we get a lot of rain and I wanted the grow bag drainage.
So far, the pests have been more wormy than buggy.. on the peppers anyway.
No, just F1 seed
Wow Wonderful Garden ~
Thank you for good sharing LIKE 960
My friend, have a good relationship 😊
I would find it helpful if when you say "heatwave" and "overnight temperatures" you would give us some numbers! Its helpful for those of us in different agricultural zones
The first year I decided to start gardening, I did 22 types of peppers and had a PROLIFIC harvest and since then have not had near as good of a harvest. Don’t know what it is but out of everything I’ve grown, peppers are hands down my favorite. Your videos have helped me understand my mistakes a bit more, thank you!
❤ I'm so happy I found your Channel you inspired me to grow a few different peppers I would have never gave a thought Black Pearl Black Panther and a purple Reaper I too have an issues with Beatles😅 I guess the local Ducks do not like them because I don't see them taking care of them also does anybody have any tips on how to make eggplant set fruit I have black beauty add some white eggplant but I'm afraid the heat in 9B is killing off the pollen😢
Love the update. My pepper plants are looking mostly good, despite a TON of grasshoppers this year! I have a very prolific Jimmy Nardello plant, just waiting for them to ripen. I also will soon have a bunch of cherry peppers this year.
me in the beautiful zone with non stop rain and snail attacks crying his eyes out bc i dont have ANY peppers yet
My first year growing ! But I got into it , late April… so I’m very far behind. I am in zone 10 so I’m keeping my fingers crossed. It was difficult to harden off my plants since it’s been hot over here in so cal
I had problems with aphids attacking my seedlings indoors, so I lost a lot of them before the season even started. 😭 I have some plants that are over a foot tall with peppers and flowers, and others that only have a few sets of leaves still.
I also planted a lot of them late, because I had to replace my rotting raised beds, and have mobility issues, so it was slow. I even still have one bed that needs to be filled with dirt! But it’s going to be mostly short season tomatoes and squash in that bed.
Love your updates and channel. Any content is welcome :)
Hey Peppergeeks - Glad you published your progress. Please keep it up. This has been a strange season here in central MA too. This year I have 1 Bell, 4-5 Fresnos, 4 Jalapenos, 4 Poblanos and 3-4 Cayenne plants. Mostly all potted up on my deck. I states all of them n Mar 1st and with the help of grow lights, had 34 healthy plants to harden off. After giving some to neighbors (including grape and plum tomato plants) I ended with 22 plants -- 15 potted, and 7 put in the ground in the sunny areas of my shrubs near the driveway.
Beatles have ravished the in-ground plants, but managed to eat one nice fresno pod from it. the other in-ground plants look like your worst beetle damaged ones. I went out at night and found 1 beetle...
I did no pruning this year and All of the potted plants are 2 - 3 feet tall and fruiting mostly on top. Hardly any branching off the main stems until the top third. The deck faces south and is very sunny, but so HOT so I put my umbrella over them for the midday and afternoon shade. The pods are small so far 3-4" Jalapeno are the largest. Last year I had 4-5" pods - the heat wave was shorter last year I think.
My tomatoes came under flea beetle attack early and neem oil spray as well as tomato/vegetable insect spray has been fairly effective, but is the heat causing the tall plants with top growth only?
You guys are a terrific team. Thanks so much for sharing your progress.
Love the update. I've got 4 serrano , 4 jalapenos, 2 cayenne and 2 habanero plants all grown from seed, plus one sweet banana pepper my wife bought from her school's plant sale (she's a teacher). I'm thinking I'm growing them too close together b/c the banana is the only one to fruit so far. The others have given flowers, but It's July 21.... and I'm looking for pods.... not just flowers. Some haven't even flowered yet. Habanero are tough to grow in MA. Only had a few get ripe last year - mostly green.
It has been mad hot here in Northern New Jersey. Even with the shade cloth my garden has been suffering. My pepper plants are virtually fruitless and the jalapeños I do have have zero heat. I am confident once things cool down I will get fruit because the plants have grown vigorously with no pest damage.
Halo from northern Poland! Your peppers and tomatos look much better than mine, but polish cucumbers wins! Cheers!
My jalapeño in a crowded grow bag had one pepper so far, and not that big. The plant is too small, and I hope since I removed the pepper it will grow larger and bear more.
My Serrano is in same bag, and three times bigger. It has so far grown 4 small peppers, smaller than the store. But I removed 2 so that it can help the plant grow more.
We had lots of 90+ degree days, and no wilting. I see tiny buds on Serrano so expect the 70s and 80s will improve it.
I got okra, squash, melon, beans, cowpeas, passionflower, nasturtium, mini potato, and eggplant all in containers.
Nice update, plants look great. I'd like to see more in August
You two need to try an earthbox or similar wicking style container. My peppers are massive. (all organic)
Interesting unusual occurance, one of our goats got out and decided he liked my jalapeno pepper plants, they are actually recovering quite nicely, blooming and growing, will see how far behind they are from the others, I think this goat named Mutt likes jalapenos, we have had some good laughs over this, he bypassed all the other peppers and only targeted the jalapenos, too funny!
We had a pretty sucky start to the growing season here in zone 8b due to an abnormally cool and rainy spring. I'd attempted to overwinter my peppers in our workshop 'greenhouse area', but only two survived. A red hot chili pepper plant, which now has about two dozen tiny green peppers on it, and a banana pepper, which has blossoms, but so far no fruit as of July 21.
I'd started additional pepper seedlings early this year in my workshop greenhouse, as well as differing kinds of tomatos. The older established indeterminate tomatoes have been producing, and this year's potted determinate tomatos have a lot of blossoms, but thus far no fruit. Even the squash has been slow to produce fruit and start taking off in growth. Strawberries did well enough though.
Wounderful.
Thankyou.
Do you ever use neem oil?
I was going to ask you about your Barbara's Antipodes on Reddit. It was the most difficult plant ever this year for me. 8-10 seeds I only had a single sprout. My first attempt I had 0. The second attempt, I soaked 4 seeds in water, and only one sprouted. My plant also hates the sun.
I have some containers, and raised garden bed where I am transplanting some today/tomorrow. I had a VERY late start this year, I really don't even expect any harvest. My first frost is mid-October but last year my October had some temps to 78, 83, but then dropped significantly to 65 high temps.
I wanted to start seeding in January but I thought it was too early, but back then I was excited about growing... and I knew if I didn't start in Jan, I was going to procrastinate.
According to my calculations and AI, I should have at least a single harvest (might be small). Thankfully I have good fertilizer schedules that will get me a harvest. Last year my reapers were only slightly larger than my current plants at this time of the year.
All my plants now are in small pots , but I have moving to raised garden bed and 6 gallon pots. Those that I moved so far have almost doubled in size in 2-3 days... so late start this year, I'm kind of kicking everything off at the end of summer (LOL!) but so far I have some flowers and they seem to grow really fast after transplant.
I love seeing your garden updates. You have beetles, I have rabbits eating my plants. Great info, love your channel.
The Japanese beetles showed up where I’m at around July first. They’ve mostly been going after our berry bushes (raspberries/currents) and Thai basils. Had to net the currents or we wouldn’t have a plant after a few days. I’d suggest having sacrificial Thai basil away from your peppers (and traps). You won’t get basil, but at least they’ll leave your peppers alone.
My Jimmy Nardella plant is the tallest so far. Over 4 feet tall, but no peppers on it yet.
Cooler overnight temps should help the plants start to flower/produce
At 1:06 your plants have white spots everywhere. Maybe water spots, powdery mildew, or mite damage. Might be time to start your IPM. Great videos always 👍🏼
The white spots are the residual Kaolin Clay that we sprayed to protect the plants from beetle damage and the sun. Unfortunately, it needs to be re-applied after heavy rain (and it also doesn’t look pretty on the leaves 😂)
@@PepperGeek I noticed you said that right after I typed it. Haha my bad. 👍🏼
You have to dig the half-moon bunds like they do in the desert. Youd catch all the water and erosion.
i live in conneticuit and have definitely had some pest damage issues. but overall everything is doing pretty well.
ive been lucky nothing has gone for my peppers or the corn but i self sabotaged and have had them in too small containers so they havent grown too big, every thing im growing isnt so lucky have a few chunky ground hogs have been wrecking havoc on the rest of the plants in the garden
Hello Pepper Geek, your channel has helped me a lot with growing my own peppers. I have to ask, have you guys ever grown a Mexibell and if so what is your opinion/experience on it?
I've seen a few beetles in my garden. The four lined plant bugs, however, have done some damage to my plants. Those and cutworms.
I have one hot pepper - Chili peperoncini (seed from dried spice bought in grocery) , the rest are sweet peppers. Only Chili is attacked by beetles. Have they the tasty leaves?
I have noticed that some varieties are more attacked than others, so I’m sure this is the case. Sounds like you don’t have too large a population because eventually they will eat outside of their “preferred” plant
More updates please!!
Gosh, those Beatles been really doing a number on some of your plants. I don't think I've encountered any problems with Beatles just yet. I actually got really lucky this year, I have had no problems with any particular type of insect, not even aphids believe it or not. Somehow, from the time I raised all of my pepper plants from seed, to when I first put them outside up to this day, I have not seen a single aphid on any of my plants and every last one of my pepper plants still have many of their original leaves on them. There is some apparent damage on some leaves that is evident something was munching on them but I haven't found what it was but it is only minor insignificant damage. And I'm also already beginning to swim in peppers, my plants are bombarded with them right now LOL
Here in AZ we are just trying to keep plants alive. No fertilizer, pruning flowers….. they take off in Sept/Oct
My jalapeno pepper plant is close to 5 feet tall. But my Red Habanero plant is growing very slowly. I have about 5 of them and they all just didnt do very well sadly. My El Jefe jalapeno plants grew like weeds, performed very well. My Cayenne look like Trees, with insane amount of foliage like ive never seen before. My pepers do sooo much better in Buckets!
Have you noticed if the kaolin clay has helped with ants and aphids? They have been my main problems this year. I wonder if that would be better than constantly setting traps and spraying soapy water. Thanks for the info as always!
How do you store your peppers after you pick them before using them. Also,what are these small brown bug that looks like a grain of rice that I find while they are sitting in my aluminum tray?
New monthly update when? :) I'm growing jalapenos and trinidad scorpions on my balcony here in Finland, jalapenos are getting ripe but the scorpions are just starting to make fruit and barely flowering, at what temperatures should I take them inside to continue growing before they'll die off from cold nights?
My peppers WOULD look like that if they were still on the bush!!
Asiatic beetles have been my only pest problem so far this season. But they’ve been very problematic.
They are terrible, not much we can do other than cover the plants and hand-pick them at night 😓
@@PepperGeek I lucked out! About three days after I commented on here they just took off, and I’ve not really had issues since😂
All of my peppers and tomatoes were scorched to death the first day of our heatwave this month in socal >:(
I got a touch sad when you started with your best plants, but my peppers are tracking with your unprotected peppers. Literally just picked some Green Poblano and Corno De Toro today so the season is progressing nicely.
For the beetle damage plants (Earwigs in my case) what is the best protocol to get back to production? an extra dose of fertilizer or just ride it out and expect a smaller yield?
Updates rule!
My jalapeños have small growths on many of them. They look like small peppers growing out near the top of the full size pepper. Any idea why ? I wanted to attach a picture but couldn't.
Could just be a natural mutation, I’ve seen some odd pepper shapes over the years!
My reaper plant is the slowest to take off but my sugar rush peach plants are putting everything else to shame.
I noticed one of your pepper looked like it had leaf spot. I've been panicking a bit about two of my pepper plants getting what looked like leaf spot. So far, most of the plant still looks healthy but there's no cure that I could find. What do you guys usually do? Do you rip them out or just let them grow out?
Usually let them grow unless it seems to be spreading. In my experience diseases are very selective in which plants they will impact. For example, our sugar rushes always get leaf spot, but even plants right nearby (even touching) won’t be affected. Still wise to keep an eye out and avoid cross contamination, especially by pruning
Where do you guys get aji Amarillo? I've had trouble finding seeds and the ones I ordered turner out to be aji fantasy.
Zonosemata electa pepper maggot fly have plagued my peppers the last couple years. do you guys get them?
I have 13 pepper plants, one of which refuses to hold on to any fruit. I have 2 other plants of the same variety that are doing great, but this othe, which looks incredible, just will not fruit. Same growing conditions as all of my other plants that are thriving. I wish I could figure out what the problem is.
i dont know whats going on in my pepper garden. have stuff sowed april 7 and may 7, transplanted out to my raised beds after hardening off after about 6 weeks each starting indoors and every plant is only about 7" tall maximum. a couple are starting to push flowers and i dont really get why mine are so stunted and tiny. its like they havent grown, have amended soil, get liquid fert every 2-3 weeks and get watering every other day when its hot and every couple days when its cooler and less intense heat. has been a weird weather year: we didnt get any nighttime temps above 45F until like june 10th and im in zone 9a california. so strange i dont know why my stuff isnt growing
potatoes, watermelons, chives, onions, my hollyhocks, lemon tree baby, orange tree baby, and basil i have this year are all TAKING OFF and doing GREAT so i didnt think it was my soil or fert methods or anything..so weird about my peppers
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️❤
My pepper plants have no flowers I'm upset lol. Why arnt they flowering out?
Temperatures might be too high & stunt the growth. Where are u located?
@markb8954 south east oklahoma. Temps have been good mid 80s-90s they are tall and plenty leaves. In shade to not sun scald. chocolate habanero and Jay's peach scorpion. Transplanted from cups to 5 gallon buckets on April 28th. Plants are 2ft tall. Are there certain nutrients I should be feeding them to get them to flower vs growing just thick stems and leaves? First year to ever grow any plants.
Hi what zone are u in
6b, CT
