I've been growing peppers indoors for a couple of years now. It allows me to stabilize new crosses in half the time. I have over a dozen new pepper hybrids that are in various stages of growth now. I will show some of them in this video. It will be a challenge this year to find room for all of my pepper projects when it comes time to move some of them outdoors.

I have quite a few peppers growing indoors right now. I've been making some crosses and I'm growing some of the F1s from those crosses right now. I also wanted to let folks know that I'm taking a short break from making videos. I've been making videos at a pretty steady pace for about 8 or 9 years, so I thought it was time to take a little break. I hope you understand. Thanks for watching!

We've seen some really big flocks of geese lately. This flock of geese had several thousand birds in it. We've seen flocks of geese that had lots more birds than this one did though.

Red Pontiac potatoes are one of three types of potatoes that we grew this year. The other two were Purple Majesty and Kennebec. In this video, I'll show you the harvest from two ten gallon grow bags. Overall, I was happy with all three types. Several of my favorite types of grow bags. iPower (earns commission): https://amzn.to/3H3Lfs1 AC Infinity (earns commission): https://amzn.to/3H09F5S Vivosun (earns commission): https://amzn.to/3XSGpnJ My Nature Channel (Observing Nature): https://rumble.com/c/c-1364293 Midwest Gardener is also on Facebook.

Even though we are in zone 6b, we grow banana plants. Our Musa basjoo banana grows to about 12 to 13 feet tall every summer, even though we cut it down every fall. Bananas grow pretty fast, and for that reason, they have lots of leaves. After a bad wind storm, some of those leaves can be shredded by the wind. In this video, I'll show you what our banana looked like before I trimmed a whole bunch of leaves off of it. Then I'll show you what is looked like after I trimmed it. Finally, I'll show you what it looked like by the end of the summer.

Killdeer lay their eggs on the ground, so I'm always kind of amazed that they are even able to raise any chicks. This adult Killdeer had two chicks with it. One was out in the open, and the other was trying to hide under her.

Here were are nearing Thanksgiving, but we still have some things growing in the garden. Some crops are fairly cold hardy, and others can last after it starts freezing with a little protection. In this video, I'll show you what we still have growing, and I show you now I plan to extent our growing season a little longer. We had a true test this week, when the temperatures were in the 30s and 40s F. during the day, and 20s and upper teens at night. Let us know if you still have anything growing. Thanks for watching!

In this update I'll show you most of the pepper plants that we have growing indoors. I grow peppers 365 days a year to shorten the time it takes to stabilize a new pepper. Right now I have quite a few crosses that I did myself, and a couple that the bees did for me. Let us know if you grow peppers indoors. Thanks for watching!

Mutations are a normal part of nature. Sometimes they happen in animals, and sometimes they happen in plants. This time it happened to a pepper plant. The original mutation happened about a dozen years ago or so. I plan to cross these peppers with some of my own pepper plants.

Here's a look at our Mattapeno pepper plant. It's a variegated Jalapeno pepper. The heat is the same as a Jalapeno, but the foliage is very different.

It is always a little sad when the first freeze of fall comes. It's part of gardening though, so we just learn to deal with it. Part of the whole process is harvesting as much as you can before that first freeze hits. In this video, I'll show you what we harvested, and give you an update on our fall crops.

This is an interesting pepper. It's a cross between an Oda purple sweet pepper, and a hot pepper. The pepper start out purple and ripen to red. When ripe, they have some sweetness with good flavor and mild heat. They are also very productive.

We went fishing the other day and I caught a few crappie and lost a couple of small bass. It's been a good fall for crappie fishing.

This was the very first time in my life that I had butterflies eating out of my hand....literally. On a recent trip to Branson, Missouri, we visited the Butterfly Palace. The 4 of us really did enjoy our time there. If you love butterflies or enjoy nature, you probably would enjoy the Butterfly Palace too. The coolest part about the Butterfly Palace for us, was the artificially flowers that had nectar in them. Many times there were multiple butterflies trying to eat from the flowers at the same time. There were many different species of butterflies to see, and they were all exotic species that we had never seen before. Thanks for watching.

Even though it is October already, we are still harvesting some summer crops. Along with our summer crops, we are also harvesting from our fall grow bag crops. We are getting lots of peppers and a few tomatoes, and some eggplants too. We can now go out and harvest everything to make a nice salad any time we want. Let us know how your garden is doing.

I haven't used Crappie Nibbles very long, but I like the way they work for bait fish. I've also used them on jigs to catch Crappie. I think I might just keep a jar in my tackle box from now on....just in case.

Pippin's Golden Honey Pepper is an edible but ornamental pepper. It starts out purple, then changes to yellow, and finally to a deep orange color. We are able to grow this pepper thanks to Folk artist Horace Pippin, who died in the 1940s. In our garden, it grew to about 3 feet tall, and about 3 or 4 feet wide. I did not stake this one.

Banana Toes Dwarf Tomato is one of many dwarf type tomatoes produced by the Dwarf Tomato Project. I've grown more than a dozen tomatoes from the Dwarf Tomato Project. Some of the rival some of the best heirlooms in taste, but they grow on plants that are a much more manageable size. In this video, I'll taste the tomato and let you know what I think of the taste and how it grew for us.
