Why do you think my yellow bell peppers are pale yellow, instead of bright yellow?

another thing about peppers is if you want hot hot hoter peppers..they need to be dry. not wilt dry but dont water them as much as a tomato. that will make them hotter. i really enjoy both your channels. i send everyone your way. waves~~

A couple years ago I planted 38 bell pepper plants in a bed about the same size as yours. I’m going to love watching the progress of yours and see how they do. Keep it up, John!

Im no expert on growing gojis. I have one plant in the ground, and had a few in the greenhouse. Plant in full sun. I heard they like the pacific northwest.

I don’t know about “all” of them. But I will put a good “dent” in them. I wait until peppers are totally ripe before eating, and (the larger varieties) take long to ripen, and last year, I never really seemed to have an abundance. Wanted to make sure that didnt happen again.

I do buy some organic starts. Most of my seeds are organic. Many of my starts are from a nursery that is not “certified” but does not use any chemicals. Some of my starts (from some stores) are non-organic. That being said, I do not purchase any GMO plants (corn or soy). Once I plant them, I consider them to be “organic” since I grow them naturally. Its always best to grow all organic; but not always possible. So do the best you can (and afford)

I do not use chemical sprays OR chemical fertilizer. Much better to use natural fertilizer and natural sprays. (if needed)

Also I asked about pesticied sprays on the vegtables and the nursery person said they did not use them but they do use chemical type fertilizer. What’s your take on that too? Looking forward to your response.

Looks great! I have a question John. The nurseries that I have been to here don’t sell many organic vegtables if at all. Do you buy only organic starts? Thank you : )

“Unless you’re really cheap.” Like me. You’re hilarious John. Here’s a story for you. We dried the cayenne peppers my Grandma grew last year and while we were grinding them, my Grandma sneezed and blew the cayenne pepper dust over me, my niece and my poor dog. I’m sure it was how being sprayed with mace feels like.
