Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

• Indoor Start: Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date for an early start.
• Outdoor Sowing: Direct sow outdoors after the last frost date when the soil temperature is consistently above 70°F (21°C).

Sowing Instructions:

• Spacing: Space plants 18-24 inches apart, with rows spaced 24-36 inches apart.
• Planting Depth: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid overwatering, as peppers are susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Water regularly but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. Peppers thrive in evenly moist soil.
• Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer with an emphasis on potassium and phosphorus to promote strong fruit production. Too much nitrogen can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of fruit.
• Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.

Harvesting:

• Harvest Time: 70-85 days after transplanting, when the peppers are a rich green color. For red jalapenos, allow them to ripen fully on the plant.
• Harvesting Method: Use garden shears or scissors to cut the peppers from the plant, leaving a small portion of the stem attached.

Storage:

• Storage: Fresh jalapenos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them or preserve them by pickling.
