Jalapeño Early Seeds

Early Jalapeño - The best pepper for short seasons and cooler climates! These are one of the earliest peppers at just 65 days from seed to the first harvest.  Everybody loves Jalapeños because they can be prepared in so many different ways. Jalapeño poppers, jalapeño jelly, and pickled jalapeños are just a few examples. Jalapeños have thick skin and just like their cousin the serrano pepper, they do not need to be roasted or peeled before using.

Pods are 3" long and 1" wide on productive 24" plants. Chipotle peppers are red jalapenos that have been smoke-dried for preservation. It's called early for a reason; it is the earliest jalapeño to mature each season. Capsicum annuum     (65 days)  Heirloom - Open-pollinated - Non-GMO

In early spring, start seeds indoors 8 weeks prior to warm nightly temperatures. Place the seeds in sterile media and cover 1/4” deep. Provide 85°F bottom heat, bright light and keep moist at all times. Seeds will germinate in 7 - 21 days. Transplant seedlings into pots and grow until there are 6 true leaves on the plant. Plant them directly into rich soil, 30” apart or into large 5-gallon containers. Harvest chiles when they are green. If left on the plant a couple more weeks, the peppers will turn red at full maturity.
