🤔How has your season been going? 🌶🌱
-
This reminded me of how blessed I am as a pepper grower in Alabama.
-
So sorry to hear your plants aren't doing as well as you'd like. Mine are doing great so far. They're covered with shade cloth to deal with our record-breaking heat and it makes a big difference.
-
Same as any other year so far, but I start under lights at end of January. I stand my plants in a water filled tray when I want volume growth, use canna nutrients. Have plenty of peppers and a multitude of flowers. Cucumber is loving it too.
-
Had my plants in the ground by May 24. Everything was going great, until the hailstorm. Everything is probably about three weeks behind, but bouncing back nicely.
-
The start was difficult. I have to grow without a greenhouse. By now the plants grow beautifully and start flowering
-
Your plants all look amazing. I am sure once the sunshine becomes a bit more consistent your plants will just take off. Thank you for sharing Shaun! Always love a garden update. Stay Spicy!

It's the most consistently hot year I've seen so far, a bit south of Toronto, Canada. Earliest start to the season too. My baccatums love it, and my chinense are set fruit about a week ago. Fruiting time is on par with previous years, but the plants are like 4x bigger than I've ever had
-
Plant looks great. I forgot the video was out today and wondered why i suddenly started getting new followers. Cheers for growing it.
-
My plants look good this year. And the weather is also good I guess here where I am (Slovenia).
-
I started them earlier, like in november last year but I am crazy and I have made my room a jungle in winter. So, it was crazy AND amazing!
-
We are having the same problem here in Norfolk, temps are down to 13-14 in the daytime and everything is like it's hibernating.
-
Thanks for the honest and interesting tour. I think you mentioned in one of your last videos that this year you started the season some weeks later than usual. If this is the case, I guess this might be the main reason but hopefully the plants will still catch up. But you are correct about pot size and harvest Vs leaf growth, thanks for reminding us.
-
Interesting idea about the small pots. I live in a cold climate (Maine, USA), so I do something kinda similar in that I sometimes put multiple plants in a larger pot not caring if I get fruit that year, with the idea being I overwinter and hope for a great harvest in year 2. I lose a lot of plants during overwintering but the ones that make it are incredibly productive and produce early as well.
-
Having similar problems in southeast Pennsylvania. Heat has been absolutely merciless. Haven't lost any chillis yet but four of my tomatoes have given up.
-
Sorry to hear that We all were waiting for a big harvest and your fabulous sauce videos that follows 😢
-
Glad you uploaded this, I am also in the same position. Plants are small, and no fruit in sight at all. This has to be the worst season for me too, our UK weather really isn't helping the cause this year. I had big plans to finally reach your sauce making stage but no chance now, I'll be happy just with seeing any ripe fruit!
-
almost nothing i planted this year, even sprouted, chilies, or other wise....the few peppers that did sprout, are still less than 1 inch tall after over 2 months.......... some stuff i planted 2 or 3 times, and still have nothing to show for it. the only thing thats growing decently is corn.
-
Your humility, honesty and down to earth personality are commendable. That is one of the main reasons I respect you and you are an inspiration... Wishing you the best Shaun.. Best regards...

Hah, your Calabrian plant cracked me up. I’m a huge fan of Italian varieties and all I can say is that there is absolutely no standard naming convention for them. Something like 75% of their chili peppers are generically called “Calabrian” since that’s the main growing region with minimal specifics beyond that. It’s a full on puzzle differentiating between them.
