When growing Jalapeño peppers, grow it on the dry side! Peppers like HEAT and DRY soil, and they probably need less water than you think. They’re also major sun-bathers, so choose a location with tons of sun.
Whatever you do, don’t let them freeze. No pepper thrives in cold weather. If you get a cold front, roll your jalapeños indoors.
Ripe jalapeños are about 4-6 inches long, fat, firm, and have a bright sheen. You can pick them as soon as they’re green OR wait until they turn red—the red ones are sweeter!
