14:54 What Advantages and Disadvantages Did Me and Tuck Miss?
❤❤❤❤❤❤Tuck and New Jersey, poyfect tagether!
You mentioned switching to peppers in buckets over raised beds last year, and I did that this year. Best harvest of peppers to date for me
Let's Gooo! Glad to hear that, me and Tuck truly believe it is the most advantageous way to grow peppers for backyard gardeners 😁🐕❤️
Do you mix soil in containers, ei, a mix of store bought & garden soil/compost, or do you use just store bought?
Thank you
Too much watering! And potting soil is expensive. Small peppers tend to do better than big bells, but everything does better in the ground.
My neighbor is a fan too. He literally has a food forest in his backyard. Wish I were younger. I would too. Still growing- at my ability level
One of the big things that I've learned this year is multiple harvests. I didn't get to work at it seriously this year, but I am ready for next year. What a game changer!
I think you sold me. I am going to experiment with peppers in a bucket next year. This is my first successful year with sweet peppers after three years of failure. Need to take things to the next level
One more advantage ... the peppers are already to over-winter --give them a trim and place them in a protected spot.
Great point! I wish I thought to add that in, you are 100% right!
Yup!
how much do you trim before over wintering?
I noticed the benefits of growing certain things in containers even being in a different climate, it’s great to get this information for future purchases ,I’m going all into the buckets for the peppers 🫑 if you look at the bottom of a bell pepper you can identify male and female , 3 bumps is a sweet male and 4 bumps is the not so sweet I believe.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤not forgetting to spam tucks hearts❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love peppers! I’ve only had one plant, in a pot, and it grew alongside a praying mantis that lived on it. It kept all of my peppers safe from bugs. I felt really lucky cause I love playing mantises too 💚
I agree w your main point that they’re out of the beds during late summer. Freeing that space up for Fall plants. Good video.
I'm in NJ too and am harvesting my first green peppers, the first week of July. I do grow in raised beds and start indoors in February. They all get a minimum of 10 hours of direct sunlight every day. I think if you keep them well watered, they tend to shade their fruit and rarely get sun scald.
I just so enjoy watching you and Tuck I enjoy the information that you give us and I really appreciate the fact that I don't have to listen to background music while you're talking it makes it very pleasurable to hear you and your thoughts on planting not to mention seeing that cute little dog thank you so much and I completely agree with your theory on growing eggplants and peppers in containers I only have one eggplant a Japanese variety and is producing wonderfully in my 5-gallon container thanks again and keep up the good work and give Tuck a big hug and kiss
I grow jalapenos and habaneros in containers so I can move them indoors for freezes. Once spring hits they go nuts making peppers. That would be harder up north, we usually just get a few days of freeze temps at any time. After freeze risk is over, then I move the peppers back outside until the next freeze. I have one eggplant that appeared to die during a hard freeze last winter that grew back from the roots, who knew!
When you need to move those buckets a moving Dolly makes it really easty to move them. Thanks JAmes and Tuck
Excellent Teaching. Thank you so much for teaching us all 😊❤
I think it depends on your climate. I put a lot of my peppers in containers this year. Unfortunately, it’s so hot in Texas that I would have to water 2-3 times a day. I couldn’t keep up and a lot of them suffered. I didn’t get much of a harvest. Lesson learned, will definitely plant them in my raised bed next year.
Good point! I should have gone into more detail about potential issues in southern climates. Would using a 40% shade cloth help out with that, or is it just too hot for even that to make a difference?
@@jamesprigioni Great idea! I put my containers under my tree so they got dappled shade during the hottest part of the day but I may need to double up with shade cloth too. I actually just put up some shade cloth to protect my Fall vegetables (because it’s still in the high 90s 😫). Now I’m wishing I did that with my peppers and tomatoes in the summer. I will try some containers under shade cloth next year and see how they do. Thanks for making such great videos!
This year I have had so many peppers. I'm growing them in cat litter square buckets. I can fit 10 square buckets in a bucket rack made of 2x4s where as I could only fit 8 round 5 gallon buckets in the same rack. Also I use grass clippings as mulch in each bucket to keep the soil moist and make weeding easier.
I loved seeing Tuck helping you harvest!!! He's the very best gardener ever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤for Tuck. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us. Great video
I have decided to do the same next year. I have some great plants that are producing well, so I'm digging them up and planting them into buckets before the weather gets cold here.
Im definitely doing this next year because just today as I was clearing out summer crops the area with my peppers is still in use, space that I could be using for fall crops. I'm glad I saw your video today! Let's gooo!!
Funny story from when I was a kid. My mom was growing tiny peppers in our apartment. They were tiny and colorful. I was in grade school. I stole one, rapped it in a tissue, and took it to school. I wasn't sure if it was edible, so I cut it with a nail, and touched it to my tongue.... The pain was so bad that I ran all the way home in a panic.
I have grown peppers in small pots for years, some are over 4 years old now. Pepper don’t mind if they go dry sometimes 😊
James your garden knowledge is really valuable. As our growing season is starting here in the Southern Hemisphere I can’t wait to get our peppers and eggplants in to containers. Thank you for sharing your experience. Love to wee Tuck ❤
As much as i dont like it, you are dead on. I am growing in my beds, Jalapeno's. Serrano's, Sweet Banana pepper in my raised bed, and they do ok, but i have a Habanero and and a Ghost pepper in 5 gallon buckets and i have pulled off so many habanero peppers, that i have given away 2 1 gallon ziplock bags of peppers to friend, family and neighbors, and it is still putting out more, the plant started off not more than 4 inches tall in march, it is over 4.5 feet tall, and more than 5 feet wide, its HUGE and it has been producing peppers since june, every week i pull 40-50 ripe peppers from the habanero, and it has a fresh set of blooms on it now for another round
I was against growing in containers when I first started growing, but the results speak for themsleves over the years 🤷♂️
Good idea! This was my first year growing peppers so I did both just in case. Actually I'm not growing anything else so far, but will keep this in mind the more experienced I become. Btw, my yields have been much better in ground than in containers.
I like that i can use a tomato cage in the buckets for support as well as a structure to drape shade cloth over 😊 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the great tips. Very valuable info, James. Give Tuck, the king of the garden, a huge hug.
It's also possible to take some of the pepper plants indoors for the winter. They don't do as well, but you still have a few during those cold months. 😋
Thanks! This is very helpful as usual!! 🥰
I concur. I happened to have two seedlings which I chose to pot and grow on my desk. They are huge! The are the bush pepper plant I've always wanted! I will even try to over winter it for use next year.
I've grown my peppers in containers and the ground. Both were great. I did have an issue last year with Pepper Maggots. They went after my cayenne peppers mostly. I didn't realize there were such a pest and it ruined my entire harvest. I didn't grow any this year, but whenever I do grow them again I'll be spraying my plants with neem oil.
Hi James, I've been planting my eppers in buckets for the past two season with very good results. Next season i will also plant my eggplants in buckets as well. Hi Tuck❤
Agreed! I grew peppers in fabric pots for the first time and they did way better and I have more room in my in ground beds
I added a second bed of peppers this year, about 60 plants total. We got downpour after downpour in June/July (Southern New England) and it destroyed 80% of the plants. Every time they set out flowers they would get trashed by more thunderstorms and eventually gnarled up all the leaves and stopped putting out flowers.
Building a greenhouse out of an old carport right now and going to be growing my peppers in there next year out of buckets. The last three years have either been heat and drought or torrential rains. Either way my peps need extra protection from the elements and I always had success growing them out of buckets before beds.
Fabric pots are waaaayyy better for what you are doing. Awesome video man
Fabric pots seem to dry out super quickly in the heat. Buckets are heavier, but last longer and retain more moisture than the fabric pots.
@@TheButterflySoulfire most plant hate wet roots.
@TheButterflySoulfire I live in hot humid zone 8 a and they work get for vegetables. Plastic pots are only good for fruits and flowers
I grew 1/2 in beds and 1/2 in a GreenStalk this year. Next year I will be doing my peppers 100% in a Greenstalk and leave the beds open for larger plants.
My peppers are perennials so they get a dedicated space in my garden. I don’t do well with containers, too hot here, so I just have a raised bed for peppers. (Will be 2 next year.)
I have been growing my hot peppers just in front of my raspberries, so they get a bit of shade from the raspberry branches.
I recently noticed a tomato plant aggressively growing behind the raspberries up against the kitchen wall (south facing). Next year I will try some tomato plants in the same location as an experiment, to see how well they do.
I make pepper sauce from the habanero peppers, and freeze the raspberries and scotch bonnet peppers, for use over the next year up to a fresh harvest.
Awesome idea to grow peppers in 5 gallon buckets to be easily moved around for choice areas. I have one Vego bed that I have not transitioned yet into Fall plants because my 3 peppers are producing well finally ! I have started seeds in my 4 other Vego beds. Good growing information, thanks.
I planted my peppers in pots and grow bags, and they have done wonderfully!
I don't have a lack growing peppers. Thanks for this video will try again next season
Agree. I just started doing this. My eggplant was prolific this year.
Let's Gooo! Glad to hear that. What kind of eggplant did you grow?
@@jamesprigioni finger fruit purple eggplant.
We grow our peppers, jalapeños, in containers..I move them into the greenhouse for winter. They produce a few, enough for cooking @ this is their 3rd summer to being the container garden. 😊
Hi James, as always, great info. I’m a new gardener and this year I planted three kind of sweet peppers and although production wasn’t that bad it wasn’t as great either. I planted them in garden bed. Next year I’ll definitely follow your advice. Thanks to Tuck also, I’m going to try to have my doggie taste as well😊
❤❤❤4 Tuck. Keep cool. My sisters husband puts his peppers in containers but it takes up alot of space on their patio and or kitchen. I do agree, they take up alot of space. In the garden/ground, they sprawl. I may consider for a few next year. Thanks
Thank you so much I have learned so much from you and my raised beds from your sight are wonderful
I keep learning new ways to have great garden and will continue to harvest better ea season
Caren
I can't lift and move things but putting a clear removable plastic over plants at risk of frost extends my season
Super awesome informative video. Thank you!
Helpful video, thanks! Hi Tuck❤❤❤
Let's Gooo!!! Tuck says Hi and asks if you got any extra carrots laying around that he can "clean up" 😁🐕❤️
I have a cat. Therefore I have lots of cat litter buckets. I had decided to drill holes in these for next year's peppers because I did it by accident once and that plant did great! But I thought the peppers just didn't like my dirt. Thanks for the info. Now I understand WHY it worked.
Peppers and tomatos are perennials but cant handle cold weather. You can bring them inside and grow em under lights for year round harvests. Also ive only had blossom end rot on my potted peppers bc of them drying out easier
Oyster disc runoff ■ recently angled to direct water to trunks of trees or plants, I hope the collecton in the bottom inside henge of the shell helps feeds the plants calcium over time. M
I live in Sweden.. Right now.. we have +2.. I need to start my pappers and chili in the beginning of Januari..
and in the end of May.. place them in the my greenhouse..
Habaneros bucket planting works so well, but my tobasco and bell peppers grow so much better in the ground from my experience, also here in jersey!
Hey Tuck! My Ruthie digs lounging holes too - hers is behind the roses!
I pick up 5 gallon pickle buckets for $3 a piece from Firehouse Subs. All my peppers are in buckets this year and going/growing like crazy.
❤ Tuck! ❤
I grow peppers in fabric bags to easily overwinter them. No need to transplant them when it’s time to bring them in. Huge job eliminated!
This will be my second time doing it. 15ish varieties this year to overwinter.
I dig it!
I love Tuck eating peppers! ❤Great tips, we're going to try these since we love peppers!
Tuck is so cute, standing, sitting, relaxing, and eating❤
I never get a great yield from my pepper plants or eggplant. Will be trying this next year....thank you!
🧡💛💙💜❤💕4 Tuck! Thanks about container 5 gal. for sweet and hot peppers. I have tried before but not in containers that large. Zone 8B in desert 3,000' elevation and blistering hot summer and cool to occasionally cold winter - snow 2-4 days annually here and small pea hail maybe 4 days briefly.
James, please, refrain from posting video's like this without stating your Hardiness Zone first! I live in mid state New Hampshire, Hardiness Zone 5A. I can start Peppers indoors, transplant into an inground garden, weed, AND that is it! Except for watering if needed! Which I use an overhead sprinkler on my whole garden when necessary! My peppers are as large or larger than is available in grocery stores or local farm markets! Have Never needed to worry about anything, even sun scald! I live on top of a high hill, (sun rise- 6 am, sun set 9 pm, no shade) on farm land my grandfather purchased, Dairy farm till 2001, when income didn't cover expenses. We are on the 4th gen. on this land!
James, your knowledge of gardening FAR exceeds mine! My issue is, you tend to state, do this, because I have found this process works best for me!
I tend to watch Gardener Scott more! I feel he covers this issue of what can and cannot work, depending on the Hardiness Zone, and more variables!
Hoping you have a great Harvest !
Thanks James!! Great info & advice as usual
Always grown my peppers in containers, they seem to just always be happy in there. really need watering daily in summer when its hot though
Just did this today... Something was up transplanted into containers. You should see my sweetie tomatoes in a container it's 6 feet plus now.
The same logic you used could be applied to any annual plant, why not grow everything in buckets? That's the main disadvantage you didn't mention. The natural soil has so much fertility, we making use of it rather than spending a lot of money on compost and plastic buckets. If you want to take your container idea to its logical conclusion, just grow everything indoors hydroponically under grow lights. Gardening is about more than just a yield for some people, it's about a certain aesthetic and working in a may that mimics nature.
In my opinion some plants like cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower etc don’t grow as well on containers. Also those plants benefit a lot from a physical barrier while plants like pepper and eggplants seem to do really well in containers and don’t need a physical barrier as much. Also pepper and eggplants take a long time to reach maturity so by growing them in containers it makes transitioning to fall much easier
@@jamesprigioniWhat do you mean by 'a physical barrier ' ? Netting?
Something tells me you don’t actually garden… 🤣
Your “logic” is very flawed, and you missed the entire point of the video 😂
Hi Tuck! Thank you James 💕
should you punch holes in the bottom of the bucket for drainage
100% agree eggplant and peppers fantastic in pots. also green beans! easier to harvest too.
The biggest perk is you can overwinter the peppers in the pots too and have them ready to produce almost right away next year if you do it right. Wish they did well in planters here in florida but I find they do a lot better in the raised beds. Compared to other plants like tomatoes and squash which I find now does better in pots. I think its a big part of hard to keep the pots from drying out and soil born diseases and pests being so strong down here. Root knots nemotodes don't like peppers as much as other things. Now if the white fly and spider mite invasions that happen here would stop I'd be happy. Nothing seems to get rid of those things natural or chemical wise.
Honestly seems like one of the most affordable ways to grow food at home!
For certain crops like pepper and eggplants in my opinion it is
i noticed that you are also only filling the buckets about half ful, is that enough soil? Where are the drain holes in your buckets? I have been drilling mine up 3" from the bottom, so it can have a little water reserve and incase of over watering, but i am watering those babies 2x a day, as TX gets so hot, they dry out, since our tems can get well over 100 and dry. I have just added 40' of raised beds (and all are 2' wide) i am now looking for what veggies i can grow in my zone, because it looks like out of my family, i am the only one that will eat it, so, i am gonna grow what I LIKE and forget the veggie haters :) thanks for confirming what i suspected growing in buckets for all the reasons you mentioned. Been a follower of your channel for years (first gardening channel i subscribed to on TH-cam) Always helpful and alway proving great tips for growing your food and life :)
I'm sold on this idea and plan to try it next year. Has anyone had any issues with deer eating their peppers? The spot I'd consider putting the buckets in would be outside my deer fence on my patio but I don't want to lose them to deer.
Growing in containers is a pain with watering. Not for me but I’m in CO where it’s dry.
It's not much extra work to convert a bucket planter to a sub-irrigated planter bucket.
❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the information, I'm learning from watching your channel.
God Bless 🙏🙏🙏
What you need is a rooftop greenhouse, so you can go tropical during winter.
Yesss!!!
I grew peppers in my greenstalk and in fabric pots and had great success this year. I didn’t expect that. Kinda crazy.
I put my pepper plants in pots. They did not do well with the excessive rain. I found out that the leaves are edible and will be harvesting and dehydrating them.
Slugs ate my peppers and eggplant when they were in the beds. I switched to pots because of that.
How would it be if you put the buckets in a shallow (2-3") tray and filled with water so they can draw water up from the bottom?
Thank you for this video with some interesting ideas. It sounds pretty good, but is growing food in plastic healthy? Also it would be rather hard to water so many containers by hand. And what to do if we need to go away for a couple of days or longer? Containers will also dry and freeze faster. You have to watch over them more closely than growing peppers in the soil. However the biggest advantage of this method might be overwintering peppers in a greenhouse if, if available.
I love this,thank you ❤️
I don’t know. My peppers were fruiting out of control this year. They’re planted in the ground. Some of them are near my tomato plants, some are not. What I found that helped them produce more than last year was covering them with a shade cloth when we had our extreme heat wave that lasted for several weeks. I have so many peppers. I don’t know what to do with them all.
Good tip!
@@poodledaddles1091call Peter Piper😂
Try peppers and eggplant in a wicking buckets. Amazing results.
I am really surprised with this info, and i like it!
Another benefit...? Bringing indoors to overwinter? Heard younger 2x+ peppers the next year on a 2nd year pepper plant - would love for you to showus if this works!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, JP!!!! ❤❤❤❤ for Tuck!!! Thanks for the inspiration! 🇺🇲🧑🌾🍹🍺🥃🍻🎸🤟
The world needs to Seymour Sweeet & Spiicyyy peppers grown at Home! Great advice up there ☝️☝️
Yesss I knew you was gonna say container my Carolina reaper 1st time this year grew massive and now has dropped all it leaves probably time for over wintering
James , your containers ARE IN your garden , therefore your peppers are growing IN your GARDEN .😅 🌶 ..and here are💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖s for the little Boss.
Probably silly question, how many & how big are drainage holes on contai ers?
How do you keep slugs & other pests from getting in through the bottom? Thank you
Question: are you drilling drain holes in those buckets? Thanks, great looking plants and peppers!
New subscriber here. Love your channel and content . ❤
Having them in a pot,you can over winter them ,then you'll have a jump in spring
love it, almost like a pet.
You may want to discuss food grade containers next time. :)
Peppers in containers? I'd have to say infestations too. I have a 4x8 foot grow table with 16 5-gal buckets of varying pepper plants, it's crowded, plants touching etc. One of my Aji Dulce plants got aphids. I've never seen aphids before, first time. I moved that plant to a cinder block, doused it with DE to kill them, and that was that. For some strange reason that's the only plant the aphids went after. I don't know why, but that was impressive.
Will you make a seed saving video?
Overwintering will be easier too when it’s already growing in a pot
I grow all of my garden in containers. I over winter my peppers indoors since they are perennials.
pumpkins also grow the small ones in 5gal buckets.
Tuck's the best! ❤❤❤
Love your shirt! Love to Tuck too!
