wrote: Oh yeah, one other point, for "johnoceanusacr": Beware when picking and eating Jalapenos from plants that are side-by-side. I've seen the "flavor" vary from 'bell-pepper like' to 4-alarm! So pay attention! Two things can affect the heat of a chili pepper. One is variety, there are numerous varieties of jalapenos. There is one, False Alarm Hybrid, I think, that has no heat. They can vary from mild all the way up to Craig's Triple Hot, which is supposed to be the hottest jalapeno. ( I haven't grown it, so I really don't know) If all the jalapeno plants are of one variety, temperature or water fluctuations can affect the heat of the fruit. Generally speaking, if you stress a chili, it will produce hotter fruit. Hotter temperatures or letting the plant almost wilt before watering will heat the fruit right up.
