I've grown various jalapeno varieties for several years now, trying to find one to stick with. I like a moderate amount of heat for salsa and poppers, and it seems every jalapeno I grow is either too hot or too mild for my taste.
This year, I've ordered seeds from Tomato Growers Supply of a hybrid jalapeno that sounds Goldilocks-like "just right". I'm hoping so, anyway - here's their description:
"Emerald Fire Hybrid. ALL AMERICA SELECTIONS WINNER. Extra large and tasty jalapenos grow on vigorous, compact plants that set a huge amount of concentrated fruit. Thick walled and glossy green, these 4 inch long peppers are great for stuffing, grilling, canning, or using in salsa. They have 2500 Scoville units of heat, which is perfect for most tastes. Disease resistant plants, 65 days."
That's gotta be worth a try, I think.
