years ago, my family found a strain of Jalapeno that was very flavorful and hot. We decided to have some fun with my mother since she found the first plant and refer to them as VBA (Vickie Bad Ass). We save seeds every year so we can keep having them. Last year, it lost all heat and we were very upset. Over winter, I found a packet labeled "VBA 2009". I planted them and they all took off, everyone was excited. I'm now not so sure these are jalapenos. I keep very good documentation...so I don't think they are a result of a labeling error on my part.
These seeds came from one of dad's seeds...which in his garden I think was growing Anaheim, a large sweet red pepper, Jalapenos, and bannana peppers. Recently he's been growing pepperoncinis.
Sorry for the large images.
What do you guys think?
I'm half tempted to rip one off and taste it.
