“They add a lot of spice and pizzazz to ANY type of food” oh really? Crème brulee? No ideas on proper seed drying. No discussion on saving open pollinated, as opposed to hybrid seeds. This video suggests one can drop 50 seeds in a starter try and enjoy peppers from the plants that miraculously flourish there. Your videos stink! Map out your plan BEFORE you make the video. Seems to me you ramble for the sake of hearing yourself talk.

can you grow peppers in england pls reply anyone

[StinkyCheese9999]

@WinterFox155

Yes, but due to the shorter growing season and lack of lengthly high summer temperatures you should start seeds early inside, hardening them off for a long time bringing them in every night, and picking pepper varieties with shortest time to maturity... and while inside make sure you give them a LOT of light for a good head start (growing lights like CFL daylight light bulbs if not official plant grow lights.

Even then, you'll only get a fraction as much fruit as warmer regions.

I was disappointed in that you didnt provide any growing tips on Peppers. From the title of your video, I thought thats what this was about.

i tried to plant the bell peppers and kinda dried the seeds from fresh pepper on papertowel for three days and then sowed the seeds but there is no germination yet . Its been 3 weeks now. How long does it takes to germinate

[StinkyCheese9999]

@uttpahari

Many bells, particularly green ones, are picked while immature (unripe) so the seeds aren't very viable. I mean if bought from a grocery store, you will have better luck buying seeds from a farmer's garden or elsewhere in-season and saving them till the next late winter/early spring. However, drying them for only 3 days isn't very long. It can take 3 weeks in colder temperatures, shoot for 80F and keep the top of the soil moist but not waterlogged so they don't rot.

great and informative video. Can't wait to try this with Orange Bell Peppers as they are so expensive at the store!

Hi Edible could you tell me

which way to plant peach seed after start growing?

[Cataclysm31]

One, to two inches??

Don't plant them that deep.

Plant them about 0.5 - 0.7cm deep.

[frequencydude]

is it the same with weed?

[letsgokillsomeshit]

@frequencydude no.  but it's not much harder.

[frequencydude]

@letsgokillsomeshit excellent LOL !

[soujoukh]

would there be a problem at all placing too many seeds in a small pot

[StinkyCheese9999]

@soujoukh

If you have poor germination rates that will increase the odds of having something viable, but generally you are correct, with good seed there is no need for so many in a single contain, it would be better to put about 3 in each container, near the center but about 1 cm apart. Give all 3 about 2 weeks to grow after they break the soil then cut away the weakest one, then another week and cut away the weaker one, keeping the best of the three.

[Ogizzie]

Why in the hell would anyone plant pepper seeds "one to two inches"?

[mortaltirant]

@Ogizzie I was thinking the same thing, 1/4 an inch is more like it.

[Ogizzie]

@mortaltirant Exactly. I've been growing peppers for years, planting them a centimeter can even be too much at times. Just barely cover it with soil and water it from the bottom (holes in the bottom of the container). Not to be judgmental, but from every video I've seen from Mrs. Vanveen she always seems to put her foot in her mouth at least once each video.

[StinkyCheese9999]

@Ogizzie

No not water them from the bottom for best results. Bottom watering encourages too much soil saturation and too high a rot rate. Since they are only a fraction of a centimeter down, watering lightly from the top is the far more effective method. You only need to keep the top centimeter of the soil damp, nothing more than that.

You can buy larger CFL's (400watt) but you need the proper equipment for these larger CFL's.

[weiliiiiiii]

I always dry the seeds I harvest, I get a 100% germination rate. You can grow some very healthy pepper plants indoors under T8 fluorescent tubes, or using a set up of several 150watt CFL buls. There some newer tubes out there that are gaining attention, such as T5's, which produce 5000 lumens per tube!!! The T8's only produce 2600 lumens per tube, but work fine for me. I have some black pearl peppers I have been growing under the T8's and they are growing great.
