I'm in Houston and use grow bags for almost everything right now. I have had horrible luck with the black bags becoming mini ovens, but tan bags are available in most sizes. They cost a few cents more each but it isn't a large amount. The tan ones are much, much better in terms of not drawing in so much heat and my water needs have been very reasonable.

I learned the hard way that topping puts your peppers back a month or two. I do remove the bottom leaves, they tend to grow upwards after I do. Btw, there's videos on KZfaq of fireworks for dogs to get them adjusted to it and there's Thunderstorm videos. I did that with my dog and she would sleep through thunderstorms and fireworks. I did the same thing with babies crying and she had no reactions to loud baby crying either.

I found myself using about 8 gallons of water for all my pepper and other vegetable plants, so I switched to a hose-end sprayer to apply the solution. Its much easier. Here in west central Florida, with the extra heat, I water 3 times a week on an automated water system and then once a week, I apply the fertilizer solution over the bone meal and granular fertilizer, but I have to be careful with too much fertilizer due to the heat, so I usually prep the plants in good soil with bone meal added, then just use the liquid application every two weeks. My over-wintered peppers usually produce in Spring, then the newer plants come on, so it's like succession sowing.

Hey... long time lurker first time commenting... I live in a side by side duplex with very little yard, and what yard I have is very shaded by big trees. We've been growing in grow bags and containers for a couple years now, placing them in the areas that get the most sun, like our driveway. This is the first year we've tried peppers and they are doing AMAZING! We live in Nova Scotia, Canada and have been having torrential rain followed by scortching sun, so those in ground gardens of my neighbours are not faring as well as our container/grow bag garden. Thanks so much for all your information, I've learned so much that I've put into practice from watching your channel. I appreciate your knowledge. :)

My Lab/Husky mix dog hated thunderstorms and fireworks. He would never be at ease until I found by putting him in a bathroom with no windows in the middle of the house, turn on the exhaust fan, put in a radio then turn the light off and close the door and all was fine when the storms were gone or the fireworks were over. Afterwards he would come out, wag his tail, follow me around the house and outside to go to the bathroom and every now and then he would get a treat if he wanted one. The storms and fireworks have a high pitched sound most dogs hear and get upset about. Drown out the sound and all is good.

Bell peppers are one of the more difficult peppers to grow. They have some of the longest ripening times and lowest yields because of their large size. I don't grow them anymore, because I find the bell peppers in the store acceptable quality and I grow more prolific varieties that I can't get anywhere else. Giant Marconi is a pretty good substitute for stuffing, and I love the sweet banana peppers in salads.

You can get dale something called a "thunder vest or lighting vest" I forget which one it's called but you put it on your pup when it's gonna storm and it's comforting to the dog. My daughter had to dog sit a friend's dog for a couple weeks that got really scared during storms, she would tear up her crate and bust out. The dog was a pittie that was terrified of storms. I told her to get this vest for the dog and it worked. She would sleep right through the storm or just lay down . The owner was so happy I figured out what to do about the nervous energy the dog got during storms because she had once had to replace a bathroom door the dog chewed through while she was out running errands. Also I think it has something to do with the electricity in the air or the barometric pressure dropping.

It's been a strange year, for western PA and much of the north east, thanks to the wildfires in Canada. We spent much of June and early July with air quality warnings and a persistent haze. On the down side, many of my "hot weather plants" have been slow growing, but on the plus side, my "cold weather crops" are still going strong. I'd been giving my containered peppers the water soluble fertilizer, but hadn't thought about the solids. I'll start doing that more frequently.

Great videos! Thanks for the tips. I just came across your channel and I'm probably going to binge them all!! If I may, as a dog trainer, I'd like to repay you with a pro tip for your best friend. Even though its our instinct to comfort a dog when they are afraid, its usually better not to. Telling him he's a good boy and using a soothing tone is usually interpreted by the dog as confirmation that he's doing the right thing....which is being afraid! Instead, I recommend not making eye contact or speaking directly to him. it seems mean at first, but he looks to you as the example for how to behave, and acknowledging him by petting and saying "good boy" is essentially telling him that his fear and anxiety is justified. Show him theres nothing to be afraid of by going about your day as though nothing is different. Take care, and thanks again!!

I have no trouble growing capsicums in hard clay, so I've always cut potting soil with dirt to save on the amount of potting mix needed to fill a large pot. I also find that the added clay is much better at moisture and nutrient retention, which is helpful in my searing hot climate. I understand some people cannot get free dirt, but some people can but don't realise it's an option.

Peppers love the dry hot conditions! I grew Cayenne peppers in the greenhouse in late summer early fall and they were almost 8 foot tall and had 2 foot long fruit. They all ripened at the same time and we ended up dehydrating 90% of them for future use and sale at the co-op markets during the winter.

Thank you for that information because I thought my pepper plants stop growing doing the winter. Now I know. Right now I'm just waiting for my new seeds to come in. Thanks again again

I do upholstery and canvas work. I made my own mesh grow bags from Pfiferteck white mesh. I line the inside with bamboo sheath, pieces of bamboo or banana leaves. This helps hold worm castings in. I run worms and compost in my bags and keep them in a flood tray. They never get cooked or dried out and have a perfect biosphere. Also wood ash is a perfect phosphorus and potassium supplement.

I agree with you that peppers are perennial ,I planted my peppers in containers they are still alive and they gave me fruits every year. Thank you , I love the way you do your video very informative and very detailed.

I learned quite by accident that peppers grow so profusely in a 3 gallon bucket was so glad to discover this had more but present ever and I overwinter them. Thank you for all your work.

Peppers do fantastically well in containers. I'm guessing the stress of the container forces fruiting. I'm growing a cherry pepper in a pot that's 4 years old. It fruits for me all winter long.

I like your videos, I grow my bell peppers in 6gal containers and fertilize with fish emulsion once a week. They do great every year, I have 8 plants total and I picked over 20 this past Saturday.

Thanks for the video. Went out and fertilized my pepper plants after watching this. I started growing them in pots last year, protected from the cold and they are now some of my favorite plants and started a few more from seeds this year. Could you do a video about transplanting older potted pepper plants and do you do root trimming? Thanks again!

I currently grow in 5 gallon buckets. It's 1 cubic foot of soil. The upside is you can have 5-7 plants per container provided your also fertilize them. That many plants per container makes it more of a bush and they need good fertilizing with that small of soil and that many plants. A basic miracle gro vegetable fertilizer works. Also, overwintering is the way to go.

Try Bachs RESCUE REMEDY for Dale it is all natural and just a few drops on his tongue or on his ears will calm him down! Also add to his water and try to give a couple of hours before stormy weather!

Very timely video. I am having really good production from my pepper plants this year but your video has reminded me that I need to feed them. Thanks. 😎
