Jalapeno to Chipotle

I got these to make Chipotle chilis. These fruit early and are mild-ish when green, but when they ripen, they are perfect for smoking and drying with great flavor and nice heat. Don't plant too many as they are quite prolific.

Productive jalapenos!!

These were the first to harvest last year, and very productive. I'm going to grow them every year!

Bulletin: Jalapenos survive Helene and early freezes!

3 days of flooding rains followed by hurricane Helene, yhen several days of freezing, and my jalapeños in 3 colors survived and kept producing! Uncovered! I had JUST harvested all my garden, mostly jalapeños, but no chance to process them before power outage. Yes, I was a cry baby,and panicked for 10 days with my peppers probably rotting, closed in a powerless fridge. But guess what! They all turned their brightest proper colors, and I had my huge crop of peppers to can! But time progressed. We had freezes! I checked my plants just to see... MORE jalapeños! These seeds are remarkable, even from starting under grow lights, to doing so well in the garden. I'm sold on Sandia Seeds!

A favorite

This variety is always a favorite in my garden. It grows well and produces great peppers throughout the summer and into the fall. with moderate heat.

Did great

I grew these indoors under a grow light, although I started with fluorescent lights. I'm a beginner and these had kind of a hard life with my lack of knowledge. They ended up giving us quite a bit of peppers though and they tasted great. I just ordered more jalapeno and bell pepper seeds. If you grow indoors use the best grow light you can afford, fluorescent lights can get you to seedlings but they have to be close.

Favorite Jalapeno Seeds

These were our favorite last summer, we're growing the rest of the seeds out this year, every one sprouted and they were the first of our peppers to germinate. We're excited to be enjoying some jalapeno poppers and salsas this summer with these spicy gems. They turn red if you leave them on the plant to ripen!

No heat!

We had an unusually hot summer for the PNW (temps in the 30's and higher) so the plants did very well with a ton of fruit, but for some reason they had absolutely no heat at all. Other seeds I tried from Sandia also did very well (pequin, arbol, malagueta) and had plenty of heat.

Hi Chris! Thanks for the feedback. We find that these Early Jalapenos, depending on the conditions, sometimes are quite mild and sometimes they get quite hot. Their Scoville ranges from 5,000 - 30,000. Depending on when they are picked, they may not be as hot as more mature pods. Overwatering and/or weather conditions can also affect heat. It sounds like the other peppers you grew did well and were hot - so it's hard to say what caused this lack of heat in these Jalapenos you grew this season, but we hope you'll try again and let us know if you have the same results in a different season! Let the pods stay on the plant longer as they often get more spicy as they ripen fully. We also recommend growing our Yellow Jalapeno 'Lemon Spice' that is still an early jalapeno but has more heat with up to 30,000 Scovilles and comes in bright yellow. Thanks for growing our seeds!

Yum

I love these jalapeño peppers. I can’t wait every year to start getting fresh peppers from the garden. My favorite summer lunch is finely chopped jalapeño peppers mixed with a little salt. I eat them on natch chips. So yummy.

Best Jalapeno Seeds

We've been growing these early jalapeno seeds for several years, and it has been one of the most reliable hot peppers in our garden. It germinates reliably, matures early, and tastes great with a nice spicy kick! Bonus – it continues producing late into the season right up until the first frost! We will keep growing these every year.
