Two summers ago I was terribly unhappy with how mild my jalapeños and habaneros were. That winter I brought the plants into the house, cut them back and watered them sparsely throughout the winter.

I was so disappointed that I bought a ghost pepper in the spring. This fall I had a great set of harvests from the jalapeños and habaneros, and they were noticeably hotter. The ghost peppers, their first season have been relatively mild.


They have been rendered into a jam, salsa and cowboy candy this fall. Not to sure what I will do with this final harvest. Maybe dry out for cooking.


All three plants have again been brought indoors for the winter, I am in a F4a frost zone.
