Overview
Early Jalapeno (Jalapeno M-10), a Petoseed open-pollinated selection from 1977, ripens sooner and tolerates cooler weather than most jalapenos, which makes it the one to try in short-season gardens. Pods are sausage shaped with blunt ends, 2.5 to 3 inches long and about an inch wide, dark green at 60 days and ripening to red with the brown netting typical of a mature jalapeno. Heat is medium. Start seed early, transplant into full sun once nights are warm, and pick often for continued production. Use green for salsa and poppers or red for a sweeter pod.
