A cook's garden favorite, Jalapeño Early produces dark green, pungent 3" hot peppers that are excellent fresh or pickled. Zesty jalapeño flavor is great in Mexican dishes. Container friendly. Only home gardeners who enjoy long growing seasons in the South should attempt to sow pepper seeds directly in the garden. Most of us must start our own pepper plants indoors before transplanting after the last frost.
