Hiya Re: Sweet Pepper Lovers!!!

Notrecruiting...


Fertilizer is absolutely everything! It's the difference between a shabby harvest and an abundant one. If you keep your pepper plants showered regularily and feed them, you'll have way more fruits than just a few and you won't have to deal with anymore pests.


A pepper plant infested with bugs is weak and inferior. It's using all it's energy to stay alive and not be taken down by the infestation, so it cannot focus on fruit production. Your plants have been stressed from the pests and then coupled with irregular feedings...it's a recipe for disaster!


Glad to hear some are on the mend though, Notrecruiting.


Love the Banana peppers Janan!!! Were those my seeds? They look so appealing and delicious.

Yes, Sherry these are your seeds. The little banana pepper has caught up length wise with the big one now. And I have at least 5 more that are starting.

We grow organically and was wondering if you might have an idea of how much fertilizer to use on our pepper plants as they are not putting out large fruit and are quite slow. Which nutrients do you suggest?
Thanks

Hiya Re: Sweet Pepper Lovers!!!

Well that's the thing Noah...you don't have to get all weird and technical about how much to apply and what kinds to use because many different ones will work well, along with many different doses too. Picking a fertilizer is a personal choice.


I'm an organic gardener also, so I use Dutch Nutrient Formula...a water soluble organic solution. I apply the recommended dose once per week, using the fruiting formula. It works terrific.

Thank you!!

That's what I needed to know....I think I've been starving my poor plants. I've been diluting my fert solution too weak and then only feeding every other week. I'm gonna start using full strength once a week now.

My Tangerine Pimento pepper plants are getting huge indoors and they have flowers on them! =D Im using Qtips to pollenate the flowers and ive been feeding them lots of plant food and spraying them with the hose to knock the bugs off. I have 16 so I should get a lot of peppers!

Thumbs up Re: Sweet Pepper Lovers!!!

Looking so forward to seeing what happens to these. They were supposed to be Antohi peppers but they look like they're turning a chocolate color when they should have turned a pale yellow whitish color...

Talk about yummy!


These ones that were supposed to be my Antohi peppers but turned out to be something else, are super tasty! I ate this little chocolate brown one today...





They're amazingly sweet and juicy tasting. I'm gonna leave the rest on the vine for now though to see if they turn red.

Wink Re: Sweet Pepper Lovers!!!

Thanks Kevin! I've collected lots of seeds from the fruits, for sharing if you're interested. They are so surprisingly crispy and sweet...





That Tangerine Pimento pepper of yours looks pretty good. Describe the taste. Did you save seeds from the fruits?

Ok, we'll swap addresses early next week. Glad you like the chocolate peppers. They are pretty cool I must admit.


The plant is small and compact and it would be terrific in a pot. Mine is in my aero-garden. You won't believe how sweet they are!

I have to tell you, DH saw that picture and said "why did somebody put water on a piece of chocolate?" Now if they would only invent THAT!!!

I started another sweet banana pepper because my last one gave me so many really good peppers, can't wait until this one does! I thought I would have to start another seed, because I thought this one looked weak, but it looks fine now.
