When we were younger and had a larger tomato harvest, we wrapped each green tomato in newspaper and put them in a dark closet. As we needed fresh tomatoes, we took a couple out on the kitchen counter and we had tomatoes more than half way thru the winter.

Yay to your first TWO watermelons! The only tip I would give is on the soil you used for overwintering peppers. It looks very dry and could be hydrophobic. I would water them from the top until the water fills the saucers on the bottom and let them sit that way for a few days. Then, check the soil a couple of inches from the top to make sure it isn't dry. If powder-dry, repeat the first watering technique. It may take several times watering this way to rehydrate the soil. If only slightly dry, you can water the way you normally would, but be extra careful not to let them get completely dried out. If the roots experience the extra-dry conditions, they may not recover.

@SeasonedCitizen 8 ай бұрын

So right! Terra Cotta pots are thirsty themselves and wick water out of your soil. I gardened professionally for historic public properties on the east coast, zone 7b, and couldn't use Terra Cotta containers outside until i discovered moisture crystals. Mix them in the bottom third of the soil in your pot. They store water at root level. It was plant insurance, so the gardener could have a weekend off from watering at work! 🎉🎉🎉

You barely need any light to over-winter peppers. If you want them to keep growing and producing, you can give them good light and water. If the goal is to keep them alive but in dormancy for next year's garden, a tiny bit of light and once a month watering is sufficient. I highly recommend Pepper Geek's Channel for more info

Your plants need a sunny area inside with good drainage plus allow the top soil to dry in between watering. First time I tried doing this I over watered my plants and they died, also don't worry they will lose some leaves because of transplant.

We have overwintered most of our pepper & chilli plants. Some of our plants are about 7 years old, but we do not prune them before winter.... we prune them when they come out of dormancy. Sometimes they start to loose branches when you prune them before winter. We keep our pwppers in pots throughout winter and summer. We do not replant them as they might use more energy to reastablish like that. Just a note We live in South Africa so our winters are somewhat miled compaired to the US.

I think your seed starting room would probably be better for your peppers, because they are supposed to be kept a little cooler than your living space might be. Also, they don't like soil that is wet all the time when over wintering. Maybe you can put a recurring event in your phone calendar to remind you to water once a week. I overwintered my peppers in my utility room which stayed about 60 degrees all winter. It is a dark room, so I used my grow lights on timers. They did fine. But I did end up with Fungus Flies!

Hi Becky. I want to give you one suggestion that I've been using a lot myself. If I need to do something every few days or weeks, I put that in my phone calendar for a half year, so the phone gives off an alarm every time I need to do certain things. So, like watering your pepper plants, program it in your calendar so you will be remembered, not out of sight, out of mind. 😉

@@cheylingarber5886 You pick them when they're green. They can take a bit to ripen so you'll have fresh tomatoes in a couple weeks as they turn red. Leaving a bit of stem on is a good idea because the fruit will suck the nutrients from the attached stem to ripen itself, making it sweeter than if you didn't have a piece of stem attached. 👍

Save the seeds from the first melon you tried. Put them on a piece of paper or in a empty lid to dry them, so you can plant them in your garden again. And once you do seed savings you won't really need to buy seeds, unless you are buying a new type to try. But seed savings save you a lot of money in the end. I learn this from another homesteader channel. And they does the same thing with some of their plants end of season. They keep them in the green house and i enjoy watching them grow and produce beautiful peppers, tomatoes, limes, lemons etc and they are located in mississipi if i spell it right as i am canadian.

You can reuse good grades of landscape fabric with the holes drilled in them. You just have to use it for crops with that hole spacing. You don't have to replace the landscape fabric in the bed. I actually only use newspaper mulch because I don't like the shreds of plastic that remains when I use the cheaper landscape fabric. About 8 layers of newspaper, wet down works as a weed block for at least 3 months. It allows time for the crops to grow without competition from a lot of weeds. The paper breaks down and becomes part of the carbon in the soil. I am surprised you did not get much peppers out of the tabasco plants. They are very easy to grow for me and very productive. It may be because they don't produce peppers well in cold weather. They like it to be around 80-85 degrees. When it gets cold they stop making peppers. I grow peppers in pots all the time. 5 gallon is minimum, 10 gallon is better for the bigger plants like superchili, tabasco, and Thai.

Ripening tomatoes like you layed out is how I did mine. BUT only difference is I covered with tea towels. I had them everywhere.

Stem side down. Works like a charm. Great gardening season!

Becky, what I did last fall to amend the beds was add three bags of manure, biotone, and blood meal. Then I covered the beds with the weed cloth. Come spring, I turned the beds, added Espoma cow manure, and in each hole I added a handful of biotone when I transplanted each variety. Two weeks after planting, I watered with fish emulsion and I had an amazing garden and harvest this year. I think uncovering each bed, amendung it, and vovering them again will help feed the soil in the winter.

Just curious why you don't use your side by side to do harvest with instead of the wheel barrel by itself?

You can make pickles from green tomatoes. You need to disolve 1 spoon of non-idiozed salt in 1 liter of water. Pour the hot water over the tomatoes already arranged in large jars (over 5 pounds), close the lids and wait for 2 weeks before you open the first jar. For more taste you can add in every jar garlic, dried dill, celery leaves, thyme, wild horseradish (it helps with the preservation for a longer time).

That freezer would be a great feed storage for the chickens!

Take a notebook and designate it strictly for the garden. On each page treat it as a bed. Write down on the bed what you planted where divided by a line. That way you have it written somewhere solid that you can refer to every year.

A little wagon that jou can pull with more space for your harvest wll be easy on your body and more efficient than the wheelbarrow, just a thought.

The “Oh NO!” after realizing you had no labels for the pepper plants you pulled to overwinter after stressing how much you’re really trying to label everything was so relatable and honestly a solid bit of garden comedy! Thanks for the smile, I’m excited to see how your overwintered peppers do!

31:02 You’ve come so far with labeling in the garden. It’s awesome. =) And I appreciate that you’re setting timers frequently in the kitchen these days. It helps me not get anxious on your behalf. Lol A little consolation re forgetting to pot up a poblano to overwinter - of the 3 types of peppers you considered overwintering, poblano is probably the easier one to find from a local farmer, so better to overlook that one than the other two. 🤷🏻‍♀️ :)

Leave the kale! It tastes better AFTER it’s been through a frost! Eat it fresh until it’s gone!

Yellow melted watermelon is delicious. My daddy and the man down the road would alternate each year. One year daddy would grow red, he would grow yellow. The next year daddy would grow yellow and he would grow red. We would share so we both had each. Yellow is my favorite. You can do a lot with green tomatoes. My mother use to make a green tomato chow chow. Don't know the recipe but I bet you could find one.
