| I love Jalapenos and surprisingly they grow well in my cool climate. That said, I still find the hybrid types do much better than the open-pollinated ones like \'Early Jalapeno\".
Chichimeca did great in my last big trial and was better branched and leafier even than Ixtapa, another good Jalapeno variety. Fruit seem to lack the pretty balck tint that Ixtapa gets sometimes, but that\'s purely a cosmetic point. |
