2010 Container & Upside Down Garden, Growing Herbs, Peppers, Tomatoes & Cucumbers - Update 4

[Cvegas179]

I've just started indoor gardening in prep for summer, I'm starting with Sweet Basil and various hot pepper seeds (LOVE HOT PEPPERS) whenever I feel like I'm loosing my "mo-jo" I watch this video and it provides much needed motivation! Thanks for sharing and happy gardening.

Thanks for the fertilizer info.  I plan to do a video and post - I'll let you know. Thanks again!

[smartypantsify]

Thanks for sharing your garden videos. I have started a large container with tomato, basil, and cucumber . I need to know what do you fertilize with? I'm planning to do some hanging plants soon. Please help me have the success you've had.  Thanks again.

@smartypantsify I mix 1/3 Miracle Gro Garden Soil for Flowers and Veggies, 1/3 Miracle Gro Potting Mix w/ Moisture Control and 1/3 Bumpercrop. I sprinkle in a little blood meal and a little bone meal. I also water regularly as containers need it. Thanks for posting and let me know how you make out!

[ghavvard]

how do you know when to pick the peppers

[RandomHelena]

mmmm beautiful!

[GCMaxProductions]

Great looking harvest and quality plants, can you provide for the whole family without having to buy fruit and veg from the supermarket?

[GardenNewbie]

What is a tomatillo ??? cross between a tomato and an armadillo, lol !

[kharv29fan]

Anything in store for 2011 yet? I hope you plan on posting!

My neighbors have a huge garden in their yard, i helped them pick one time and they got just about as much as you have on this video lol, they gave some away to the neighbors

Did you know you can preserve your fresh peppers in Vodka? I have 2 quart sized jars of hot peppers from last summer still in my fridge and they are crisp and a vibrant red. I use them regularly when I need fresh pepper. It is a nice alternative to pickling and cuts your salt intake.

[Yewtoobnube]

@ameetpinto Very interesting, and no I didn't know that. Thanx.

[lifearoundhome]

beautiful harvest, and wonderful tomatillo plant :)

[Yewtoobnube]

@lifearoundhome Thanks very much.

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but I have been reading the comments and can't find any description about what stand / pole you used and the name of that nice looking hooked pot you have. What do you call those so that we'd know what to ask when we buy, or if they're available in Amazon. THANK YOU!

[Yewtoobnube]

@blognewb The stand is a basic4 sided shepard's hook. I actually purchased it at Lowes. I don't remember, but I think it was around $40. I had a piece of 1/2" steel rod that was 5' long. I drove it into the ground and slipped the shepard's hook over the steel rod to increase the stability. The pots are simply plastic planters that I bought at the local dollar store. They were about $1.50 or $2 each. Nice and cheap!

[blognewb]

@Yewtoobnube wow, I never really expected you to respond. Thanks very much for the reply! It is much appreciated!

[Yewtoobnube]

@blognewb No problem. I try to respond to everyone who is nice enough to leave a comment. Just have been away from YouTube for a bit. Best of luck to you!

@SkeeterUK Thanks bro! 'preciate it!

[petmycatwiththose]

Tomatilla vid is up my friend....... ENJOY..

[petmycatwiththose]

No problem, gonna make a dish on the 12th and will post, Steak tacos with fajita style onions, Tomatilla verde salsa, and crema garnished with cilantro, I'll make sure you see how my wife makes her salsa. I'll do the rest.... Talk with you soon....

[Yewtoobnube]

@petmycatwiththose Thanx.

[petmycatwiththose]

After looking at your vid again my wife and i are convinced that we can grow them upside down. She makes an excellent verde salsa and we will try them next year also. We really liked the way your Tomatillas looked......

[Yewtoobnube]

@petmycatwiththose Great. I wish ya success!! Do you have a video showing your salsa? I'd like to try it out. I'll check your vids.

[petmycatwiththose]

WOW what a nice selection, Those Banana peppers are good on Italian sausages. Question, Can you grow those Tommitillios in an upside down container?

[Yewtoobnube]

@petmycatwiththose Good question. This is the first year I've tried them. Not sure because they grow like wildfire, but I'm gonna try it next year. Thanks for commenting!

[dgmunch]

Do you take a regular dose of Prilosec OTC? :-) You always have a large assortment of HOT pepers! It looks great!

[Yewtoobnube]

@dgmunch LOL....yeah, I love peppers. Is it that obvious? They aren't that bad when ya pickle them. Thanks for commenting!

[llcyll]

nice harvest, FYI you pronounce tomatillo by to-ma-te-ho , the "ll" is pronounced with a soft "h" if I remember right from spanish class, much like quesadilla.

[Yewtoobnube]

@llcyll yeah, I know....after I watched it, I realized that I didn't pronounce it properly....not only that, but I think I said it THREE times!

[jihadacadien]

Oh wow that is a lot of veggies!! Awsome peppers!!

[Yewtoobnube]
