What makes it hot?
Last year, grew some jalapenos. They were relatively mild. Could eat raw,
no eye tearing or tremendous urge to drink liquids resulted. This year,
same seed, eyes tear up, scalp sweats, lots of liquids after eating this
year's.
Biggest differences in the garden. Lotsa rain this spring and beginning
summer. Added sandy loam to the raised bed garden in winter. Jalapenos
longer on the plant before beginning to change color this year. Like to
pick em just before the color change sets in.
