| Did well for me. Peppers were a bit smaller than other jalapenos I've grown but productive and had good flavor. |

| I have planted this variety for the last two years and will continue to do so for as long as I garden. Extremely easy and low maintenance and produces a large yield. Pretty hard to screw this one up, and the peppers are nice and hot even all the way up here in Minnesota! |

| Less than satisfactory in my cool climate garden. Hybrid peppers definitely perform better here. \'Early Jalapeno\' grows here but the fruit are much smaller and later to mature than varieties like Ixtapa, Mucho Nacho and Chichimeca.
The plants also tend toward a scrawny look and are more prone to leaf spot and other diseases. From reviews it seems like it might be ok in warm climates though. |

| Best jalapeno type I've found for short-season Wyoming. Large yeilds of medium-size, medium-hot peppers. I usually only need two plants to supply all my jalapeno needs (and I love spicy food!) Pickles well. |

| This plant grew bigger and produced better than any of my other pepper plants. It produced over a long period, and was quite happy. This was in my hoophouse where we roll up the sides in the daytime to keep the heat down. As far as taste, I can't say but my kids sure gobbled up the salsa I made. |
