2,500-5,000 SHU. The Early Jalapeño Pepper is a great variety for Northern Gardeners. This variety reigns early, dark green to red in color. The peppers grow up to 3 inches, prolific producers. Can be eaten raw, cooked, or pickled! These peppers are a wonderful ingredient to traditional guacamole or can be sautéed and added to fajitas!
Iowa zone 5b
Early maturing, growing well in three gallon bucket.
When it cooled off after the 90+ degree days came, they quickly recovered and set more fruit.
My mother bought the seeds, started growing some of them indoors, and gave 2 starter plants to me. To say they are prolific producers is an understatement! I have harvested well over 130 peppers from my 2 plants this season. Today is 9/29 and I just picked 26 peppers, leaving behind another 2 dozen or so small peppers growing for the next harvest round.
Even with the tough growing season I was able to get tons of peppers off these plants.
I seed these indoors under grow lights in February and start hardening them off in May (zone 4A) before planting them in 7-gallon grow bags on the patio. This variety always has excellent germination rates and the plants are prolific producers from mid-May until the first hard frost in the fall.
I grew these from seed indoors under grow lights. I had one plant then growing outdoors in a 5 gallon bucket and another in a "Growbox" - both provided nice harvests of jalapenos. Will grow again next season too. Harvested when the skin started cracking or they had some red in them. Red is much hotter than green.
