  1. This is so informative! I wondered why I didn't get anything growing from seeds in a green jalapeno. It all makes sense now. 🙂 I'm now going to leave my peppers on the plants to ripen more. We love the heat in my homemade guacamole and burritos! Thanks for the info! 🙂

  2. I'm 61 and never knew these things. I think of you every time that I set-up the Kratky Method, I use a can-opener to take the top off of 12 oz. pop/beer can and the small net cups fit perfectly.in the top You are a natural teacher for me. Good luck to you always.

  3. It's a bad idea to use seeds from grocery store vegetables. Most are hybrids and you could end up growing a plant derived from any of the parent plants which might have been selected for speed to market or other characteristics and not flavor. Use only purchased hybrid seeds or seeds saved from preferred self grown heirloom non hybrid varieties. This guarantees that you will get what you want and no surprises.

  4. Hi Tikki! I love your videos and your teaching style. Thanks to you I’ve started hydroponic tomato growing! Will you make any more videos about hydroponic tomatoes?

  5. Great video. I love the hot peppers. As obvious as it should be, good info for seed savers. Our peppers are really putting out the peppers now and red is everywhere. Hey, are those fermented peppers overly salty?

  6. Hi Tikki a generous coating of olive oil on you hands will work well when handling hot peppers. It very good for your hands too. I have used it to remove paint and grease from my hands also. I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the future. Cheers

  7. Your freaking awesome just got some red jalapeños from food town in Texas fist time getting red one's they were a couple cent's more but imma try them out thank you for the info.

  8. I've heard the same thing several times from different people. Red jalapenos are hotter than green jalapenos. For some reason, and I might be affected by jalapenos differently, I find that red jalapenos are not as hot as the green ones. But, for some strange reason, I find jalapenos are hotter than serrano peppers, and almost everyone else, universally, disagrees with me on that one.

  9. We have a plant in a bucket which gave us great Jalapenos. The weather is changing, so do discard the plant, or save it for next year? If saved, do we keep watering it? Thanks…
