Jalapeno Success!

[chileaddict]

I have been impatiently waiting all summer and fall to pick these jalapenos. This plant has produced about 14 large japs about 3-3.5" each. Thanks to all the good advice from THP folks I was able to leave it alone until they turned red. I am hoping so bad for some heat from these guys. What do you think...poppers? It's going to be a feast. I'm so glad I got a greenhouse this year to keep the chile season going strong. All the plants in the garden outside are long gone. You guys had to hear all the sad stories from the Pacific Northwest folks this year because of the crappy weather, but it wasn't all bad. Just thought I'd share.

That is absolutely gorgeous! I can never leave em long enough to get that many at once Great work!

VERY NICE! I agree - it's really hard to wait until they ripen, but the payoff is worth it!

You have to at least eat one whole, bet you'll love the flavour - I have 1 left on my plant and its nice and red.

I definitely will for most of them. I'm trying to wait till my daughter comes home college break soon. She wants to have some too.

Those look great! Good for you on holding out. I picked some today that are about half red, just couldnt wait any longer..

Wow... that's a lot of ripe jalapenos. Question: Are they still firm? Because this last growing season, I grew several jalapeno types. They didn't seem to last long before turning mushy and, in some cases, wrinkly. By the time one was fully ripe and another started ripening, the first one would already start getting mushy. I've never seen anywhere *near* that many ripe jalapenos on a single plant... two or three if I'm lucky.

I'm actually wondering if jalapenos just don't like my location or something.

Those are terrific looking japs.

ChileAddict, that simple greenhouse has earned it's $absolution. What beautiful red jalapenos!
Yummy Beauties And don't get stuck on poppers.

We have had one of the worse growing seasons for both sides of the NW, and it's not hard to have a bad season on your side.





you could make a little puree....
