How to Grow and Make Your Own Black & Green Pepper

What does a gardening channel's audience watch when nothing new goes up? Self Sufficient Me posted no videos in the past seven days, and the answer turned out to be pepper.

"How to Grow and Make Your Own Black & Green Pepper" is six weeks old and still the channel's busiest video. The description walks from vine to pantry: peppercorns dried into black pepper, others freeze-dried to keep them green, then a side-by-side taste test of the two, all built on what it calls 15 years of growing the plant. Black and green pepper coming from the same berries, picked and treated differently, is exactly the kind of kitchen fact this channel likes to prove in its own backyard.

Close behind is a tour of Nourished Community Garden, a place that, by the video's account, lost its funding and turned to huge piles of woodchips instead of bought compost. A two-week-old broccoli guide, five tips with chapters running from soil to grub removal, rounds out the three.

Among outdoors and homesteading channels, Self Sufficient Me sits fifth of nine by subscribers. Exploring Alternatives is the one running well above its usual pace, while this channel lets its older pepper and woodchips carry the week.
