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.

were you mad when you planted them? my pops used to swear that peppers
turned out hotter the more mad you were during planting! lol!

seriously now, mine do the same thing...last year they weren't very hot,
this year, they are hotter. every year that i have planted hot peppers,
the hotness of them has differed. my mom, sis, & I have been talking
about this very thing lately, as their peppers are also hotter this
year......
