Anyone grow there own jalapenos? I want to try and grow some this summer so just looking for any tips anyone could give me.

Thanks

We grow them. We put them in direct sun light and try to keep the dogs from eating them.

I have a pretty funny cartoon bubble for your pepper-eating dog.

I am growing my own Jalapeno & Habenero for the first time ever. I am going to do them hanging upside down. Not sure how it'll work, but.....

Last year I grew them in black landscape pots. I filled the pots with compost from the local compost center. Poked some holes in the soil and put seeds in and patted them down. when the sprouts came up I thinned them to 3 plants per pot and made sure they got regular water and fertilizer. I got about 20 jalapenos and 20 chili peppers in 3 pots. Try to make sure they get as much sun and heat as possible.

Good luck and caution with them Habeneros. A lady from work brought some home grown Haveneros in and almost killed three of us macho types. Something about home grown that is like a hundred times more flavorful and hot.

Good thing! I love the jalapeno's from the store, but they don't have enough kick to em.
