I’m glad your doing another one of these How-to chilli Growing videos again, last year was a huge success since i followed your Chilli growing how-to from 2018.

Hopefully with this updated how-to i can learn more on how to get better and at the end of the season, have some nice Jalapeños and Cyanne Peppers in 2022!

Quality of the video has increased significantly in comparison to the first series. Thanks you, great content.

[bluetamarind]

I appreciate a lot of info that goes behind planting peppers. 👍🏼Very helpful, thanks!

[webster]

starting my own seeds for the 3rd year in a row. Last year was better than the first. Excited to follow your lead in a new series!

[DonPandemoniac]

I already learned so much from your first series, looks like this one will be even more packed with information, tips & tricks! Great production value as well, most curious for the next one.

Dear Mr. Chili Chump,
I live in Southern Tennessee, and have been a chili head almost all my life. I now have a farm, and I am quite enthusiastic about growing my own chili super garden.
You have a subscriber here. Thank you for all the info !

[gotigers]

I like that time lapse. Nice job on improving your videos over the last few years.

Appreciate this one even more this year and picked up some more tips from it - made a few mistakes last time round, mainly with watering during germination so this'll be a big help. I find it's good to watch these seed to sauce vids each year even though I've been growing chillies a while - helps refresh the memory and achieve better rates. Will be growing more cayenne this year - used loads in 2022 to make lots of that awesome Sambal you've recipes for. (Seed to Sambal, anyone?)

[simondavies]

Im following along with this for my first chilli growing season! Looking forward to lots of padron chilli tapas in the summer evenings!

[HektorBandimar]

I planted my very first pepper seeds this April, they are just showing now at the end of May, they have been on the window sill, next year I will start earlier and follow the advice in this video, thanks.
