Early Jalapeño Pepper: A Spicy Garden Favorite for Quick Harvests

The Early Jalapeño Pepper is a traditional, widely adapted variety that offers gardeners a head start on the growing season. Maturing in just 60-70 days from transplant, this pepper variety produces dark green fruits that eventually ripen to a vibrant red. As an early-season cultivar, it’s perfect for gardeners in cooler climates or those eager to kick off their pepper harvest sooner.

These peppers pack a moderate heat level, typically ranging from 2,500 to 8,000 Scoville Heat Units, making them versatile for various culinary applications. Their thick walls and crisp texture make them ideal for fresh eating, pickling, or cooking. Whether you’re making salsa, stuffed peppers, or adding a spicy kick to your dishes, Early Jalapeños deliver consistent flavor and heat that home cooks and chefs alike appreciate.

Early Jalapeño plants are compact and bushy, growing to about 24-36 inches tall with a spread of 18-24 inches. They thrive in full sun and well-drained, nutrient-rich soil. Each plant can produce an impressive yield of 30 or more peppers per season, with fruits measuring 2-3 inches long. Harvest when peppers are firm and dark green for traditional use, or allow them to ripen to red for a slightly sweeter, hotter flavor.

Growing Success Tips:

  • Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost date
  • Transplant outdoors when soil temperatures reach 70°F
  • Provide consistent moisture and fertilize regularly
  • Harvest frequently to encourage continued production

Early Jalapeño Peppers offer gardeners a reliable, productive, and versatile crop that’s easy to grow and quick to harvest. Whether you’re a seasoned pepper enthusiast or a novice gardener, this variety promises a rewarding experience and a spicy bounty for your kitchen.

For an extra boost of heat, allow a few peppers to fully ripen to red on the plant before harvesting.
