Pepper Farmers Jalapeno
In stock
Description
If you are fed up with grocery store jalapeños, the late-fruiting Farmer's Jalapeno might be just what you need, but it is very rare and uncommon in the market place. A bizarre pepper, it is easy to grow at home being very sweet with just a mild heat. Pods can get quite large in size, making it great for stuffing recipes, such as Jalapeño Poppers. Incredibly, it has a heavy corking or "potato" skin and is quite strange looking in a pretty way, the bushy plants getting to 36"/1.5m feet tall, with just one plant producing dozens of peppers. (8,000 SHU)
Sowing Advice
Surface-sow or barely cover the seeds indoors, and keep moist and warm above 20C. (Peppers generally demand warmer conditions than tomatoes to germinate successfully). When sprouts appear move them to a sunny window. Set out well-developed transplants when weather is warm. Peppers need rich moist soil and warm sunny conditions to flourish. Best sown in early spring.
