Great to see a straight forward video where people aren't trying to over complicate the process or convince you that chillis must be watered on a full moon with mermaid tears.
Many thanks.

I'm not even trying grow peppers right now, man's just got such a lovely voice to listen to

Though they're grown as annuals, peppers and tomatoes are actually perennials, so you can take them indoors for the winter and have a mature plant to put out in the spring, giving you a big head start. They won't produce fruit over the winter unless you have some serious grow lights, but they'll survive and be raring to go when the warmth and light comes back. Low maintenance too, as they stay semi-dormant indoors.

My sons and I have just started the journey indoors about 3 weeks ago. And we have productive growth and germination. Never planted or grew anything before. And this is exciting!!! Now we know how to transition, thanks for your videos 😊😊😊

Great video; concise, with no time wasted on unnecessary chatter :) A great change

I have grown Ring of Fire chillies, and for the last 4 years I have saved the seed for the following season, with great success. This year I did purchase fresh seed. Grown outdoors, and dried indoors.

We've grown ours from seed harvested from shop bought organic peppers. Hot chilli really helps produce endorphins and reduces pain, there are even creams with it in, but I prefer not to waste the taste!

I planted mine in a polytunnel with no knowledge and have plants 5ft high. There are peppers on them but it's August and I'm not sure if it will stay warm enough to get a good crop..next year will be much better I think. But hey..this season was my first year of growing anything since 1984-5.. So I'm happy.

It is so easy to grow chilli peppers, I just made hot sauce from last year harvest, I had frozen big ripe Jalapeños and other varieties, made with a chunk of pineapple, cider vinegar and spices, so good! Thanks you or the video, very well done.

Excellent update for someone new to chilli growing, I’ll follow your growing tips and many thanks

Great video that as always is well presented. Grew sweet peppers last year in conservatory. They grew well but had fungus gnats in soil which was remedied by a cap of sweet almond oil placed in a small lid, ie milk carton lid on top of soil. Gnats were attracted to the oil and perished. Peppers delicious.

I started growing serranos this year in a large pot. I bought a very small plant and transferred it into the large pot I purchased and as of right now I have harvested 15 (I just now came back inside from picking 3 more and 3 more are growing). The one's I have eaten already are quite nice in the heat range but could be hotter. I also have 5 tomatoe plants that are growing and those are producing more than I could even imagine and they are pretty nice size in diameter but still green which is ok because I love fried green tomatoes as much as red ones once they're at their full potential in growth. This is my first year growing tomatoes as well and I didn't think to watch any video's, do any research or ask someone for advice so I'm quite pleased and proud of myself the way things are turning out since I haven't done this since I was a little boy over 40 year's ago when I'd help my granddaddy with his garden and that man had a HUGE variety of things he was growing and my great grandmother had an orchard of different trees of fruits literally a mile long and around 100 yards wide not to mention another area she had her watermelons and cantaloupes etc etc. Nice video and me doing this brings back so many great childhood memories I cherish so very much. Happy planting and harvesting to all and I wish you all the best of luck

Great info. Dude should totally be a narrator for Travel Channel, HGTV, or something similar. Flow, accent, and that incredibly positive tone is the trifecta. Even if you don't see him, you hear him smile. Or get his own show.

My Guatemalan Insanity Pepper seeds have literally just arrived in the post, and YouTube recommends this. 👍😁

As a brand new beginner gardener in zone 7a(just for full disclosure) I got myself a red bulb, getting ready to get me some indoor dirt on thursday night maybe friday night and do either habanero or banana pepper indoors all winter. My 5 yo is in love with plants and we got an late start this year so wanna keep her love for it going by doing some peppers. She won't be tempted to eat them because they are too hot and if I can get this right, we'll have our first successful plant to maturity and a head start next time around. Love the video. New sub.

Padron peppers and shishito are my jam!

Omg... That "ARRIBA! ARRIBA!"... 😂❤😂❤😂

I LOVE this channel. Thank you for all the valuable information. Cheers!
