Pepper - Jalapeno

Product Info

The jalapeno is an early producing petite pepper. These peppers mature from green to red. High yields of 2-1/2" long fruits on 24-32" compact plants. Excellent when eaten fresh or cooked in Mexican and Western dishes. As with all hot peppers, remember to wear gloves or wash your hands thoroughly after picking or preparing these fruits.

Water:	Water frequently for 2 weeks after setting plants in the garden to establish a good root system. Do not allow pepper plants to wilt; this can stress your plants, reducing yields. A slow, deep watering at the roots about once a week is fine (including Mother Nature's contributions) unless your plants are wilting.
Mature:	75 days
Harvest:	Fruits ripen from green to red, and are useable and zesty hot in either color phase, but more commonly used green. "Corking" refers to the striping or stress cracks on jalapeno peppers and is a good indicator that your peppers are ready to harvest. HANDLE WITH CARE -- always wear gloves or wash your hands after handling hot peppers.
