I love in the gardening community that no one dislikes videos. Gardeners are awesome. Just love and plants
-
11:50 pepper plants can get huge in tropical climates! I've actually seen a few pepper "trees" around here. They're gorgeous when they're loaded with fruit
-
The long format video is really nice. Its nice to hang in a so cal garden while its too rainy up here in the PNW lol. I seems like a good way to diversify what you offer from other gardening channels and find your specific niche.

Perfect timing, I was just looking at my 4 month old japanese eggplant yesterday and decided to try and overwinter it, thanks!
-
my peppers have been sleeping in my house all winter, watered maybe once a month. coming up on spring I was wondering about planting them again and found this video. Thanks! I had no idea my eggplants could've done it...darn, I had some really good chinese eggplant plants last year. hopefully this year they'll be healthy too and I can try next winter.
-
I came back to review this, I'm determined to have peppers and eggplants earlier in the season 2023. Thanks for all the tips.
-
You don't need to remove Eggplant after 3 years because it is self propagating, like Strawberry. Let the new branches that come right out of the ground, grow. Eventually you can cut down only the old branches.
-
Thanks, Jacques! All my pepper plants were very productive this year and I didn't want to just rip them out. I very much appreciate the step by step guide on how to overwinter them!
-
Did not know you can overwinter eggplant. I’ve overwintered peppers before. I am definitely gonna try this. ❤
-
I over winter my peppers and I live in MN. I brought them inside and put them by windows that get a fair bit of sunlight throughout the day. They have been inside about a month and already a lot of them are growing new leaves and trying to come out of dormancy. Its fairly easy and Jacques does a great job describing the process
-
I had this dilemma this year. I decided against it because I don't have a garage and we do get snow. Thanks for sharing this. I look forward to all your videos.
-
Very, very helpful to those of us in zone 10.
-
Thanks Jacques. I leave my peppers in the ground and they do well. My eggplant (in grow pot) I grew this year; however is growing fruit. I guess I’ll be cutting it back! So sad😢 thanks for all the info! I’m really getting a better understanding about gardening!
-
This was the greatest video EVER!!!!! This is the first year I am going to experiment with “overwintering” anything. You answered all my questions and more!
-
Thanks Jacques! I can't wait to try this for my pepper plants next season!
-
I still have a ghost chili from 2013. Save about 20-25 peppers each year, under a couple shop lights. Think containers are the way to go with peppers overall bc of that. I only cut back most of the foliage. Seems to work fine with a couple leaves on it.
-
Thanks Jacques! I'm looking forward to overwintering my eggplant this year in my Zone 9a area.
-
Perfect timing for me to watch as I live in Sydney Australia. I grew eggplant for the second time this year but never knew they were not perennial so pulled it out last winter. Now I know what to do in a month or two.
-
That's cool. I knew peppers worked fine; I already do that. However I didn't know about eggplant. That gives me just enough reason to go ahead and grow some. Thanks.
-
Thanks for this info. I will try to overwinter my eggplants this year. 💚
