Will this work for tomatoes? Indeterminate

Hey Pepper Joe, I have some 18 gallon plastic totes with rope handles that I have grown things in before. Will I get approximately 3 times the ghost peppers than with a 5 gallon, or is 18 gallons overkill? I am planning on wintering them indoors and keeping them for as many years as they will live. Thanks, from one of your Michigan customers!

Just ordered some reapers and Peter peppers from u so scared but excited to eat them lol. I honestly don't really like hot food but I can't back out now lol

I have a few peppers but they are sweat planning to grfow at least one hot pepper. Geat video.

Can you spare any pepper seeds

super job

Hi, Thanks for the video. Question: Do I need to drill holes in the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket? --Nate

Did/Do you have a stand on 29th Ave in Myrtle Beach?

Thank you Joe & Penny! My seeds arrived in Pennsylvania today. Finally something to do besides shoveling snow!
Starting my pepper & tomato seeds today.

We cannot deny the fact that container gardening is now the most acclaimed growing technique. No wonder why several homeowners follow this system because of its positive advantage and easy to manage gardening. However, these tips for growing hot peppers are worth useful.

That is good to know. This is my first year growing and I just kind of guessed at what would work for me. I just had the same issue with the 3 plants that I transplanted from seed starter to my potting mix and they never went outside but they had the same spots as a couple of plants that were outside in my potting mix. Kind of confusing myself.. I will try the copper/sulfer powder and see how they do.

James. it is NOT your potting mix or bone meal....that is ALL good stuff.

Thanks Joe! I will try that. Right now everything seems to growing pretty well. Next year I plan on trying your potting mix and see how well things grow.

p.s. James.....just viewed your video and responded.

James, I couldn't find the video?? Anyway, remove spotted leaves and dust your plants with a sulfur/copper powder that you can find at Lowe's, etc. Also, put this in your transplant holes to try and PREVENT any bacterial or Fungal issues in the future.

Cool! Great minds thin k alike. :)

You and I must share the same brain. I've been doing this for several years out of necessity, and EVERYTHING you said in this vid is EXACTLY what I say to other who ask me about my container gardening.

Joe I posted a short video showing the spotted leaves.

Joe, Is it possible that my mix could be the issue? I transplanted about 12 total plants with this mix and it's just the 4 that have this issue. In WA, we haven't had much sun lately and that is why I stopped transplanting more in the bigger pots for outside. I think they are out growing their solo cups in my hot box so i have need to transplant them pretty soon. Thanks for the responses and the videos.
