New type of Jalapeno Pepper

[caseydog]

Japs are supposed to have heat. Period.

I respectively disagree. I grow my own jalepeños, and my favorites not only have heat, but they taste good. The worst jalepeños are bitter. I don't like bitter peppers. A really good jalepeño has the flavor of a banana pepper, or even a bell pepper, but the heat that you want in your salsa or popper.

I have been growing jalepeños for many years, and they are easy to grow, but hard to predict. Sometimes I get lucky, and the peppers are perfect, and sometimes I don't. Last summer was a good summer. I still have a half dozen jars of salsa, and a half dozen jars of pickled peppers.

I didnt say that they shouldn't taste good. I simply said that they should have heat. As you also said. I just do not think that a Jap that tastes like a Bell is worth my attention. I think we are on the same page CD. I also grow me own. I dont enjoy the long outdoor season that you do down South, but I make do. I start them early indoors. I have been messing with water and subsequent heat. I have been experimenting with removing doses of water once they begin to flower. Not sure *when* I should begin to starve them of water. What have you found?
