Large Jalapenos

[pepperfever]

I found a supersized jalapeno at the local grocery so when I cut it open for poppers last night I saved the seeds. Not sure why this one was so big but maybe the seeds will produce more like it. Diameter of the pepper was approximately 3 inches...I have no idea what kind it is but worth growing. It had good heat, not a wimpy jalapeno, that's even better.

was it green? am i wrong when i say this that green unripe chiles won't have fully developed seeds?

Green chiles can have good seeds but chances are much lower.

When I was at the store the other day, they had what I think was a Cubanelle in the Hab box and Habs in the Jalapeno box. The store guy told me "I don't know one from the other. They're all hot to me". (Walmart)

I wouldn't go much by what the box is labeled in the store.

OOOPS we ate it! It was normal length for jalapenos just fat, yes it was green so will just have to take a chance on whether seeds will grow. The worst it can do is not grow, I'm an optimist.

On another note..the neighbor's dog ran through our garden last night, broke off a golden greek pepperoncini...hubby is NOT happy. We are finishing planting so the fence is not up yet. Next time he will find a fence!!!!
