Default Jalapenos not hot

(Gary) wrote in message . com...
My jalapeno peppers are not very hot this year. Our summer weather
has been about the same as usual - maybe slightly cooler on the whole.
Can't think of any other variable that might have changed. Same
soil, same water, same fertilizing schedule, same location. The
peppers have the charactaristic shape, color and size for a jalapeno,
so I don't think the plant I bought was mislabled at the nursery.
Anyone have an idea why peppers might be mild this season?
Thx
Gary


Some morons in the plant science industry have taken it upon
themselves to breed jalepeno peppers to be mild. You might want to try
Serrano next time as they still have some zip.
