I am 16 years old and I saw some jalapeño seeds and the super market. I decided to grab them and try to grow them. I didn’t do any research lol. But when i saw the actual jalapeños starting to come in, I noticed that they were a little gigantic, note that they were only a light green color. When they started to get dark green they were HUGE. they were about the same size as my size 11 feet. I honestly don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.. but they tasty and nice and spicy.
Thanks for showing us the cycle from beginning to end!
Excellent and very comprehensive thank you
I’m a little scared because i grew a Serrano next to my jalapeños
It might cross pollinate 🙁
What did you put under the bags ?
@Tikki O how do your make the drip watering system with bottles?
The cross pollination thing is a myth. Peppers planted next to other peppers will not cross pollinate until the next generation. It would only be a problem if you had them next to each other and then used the seeds.
I found a jalapeño that was almost fully red outside so I tryed to separate the seeds dry them and planted them
how does the bottle irrigation work?
Your garden is a dream
lots of videos on youtube on how to grow veggies, but if you want the truth go see tikkiO :). i just watched on why you should top Jalapeno.
You can grow different peppers near each other you don't need to worry about the peppers flavor they will be the same, BUT if you decided to save seeds from one of those peppers off those plants it could be cross pollinated and produce a hybrid with different flavor characteristics
I waited through the whole video for the followup on what they taste like once they're red. 🙁
When a Tikki video pops up you know it's going to be watchable.
I planted seeds today. Hopefully they grow
Great video
2:28 Wish I knew that before planting them all in one big pot. Guess I'll be having hot bell peppers and sweet jalapeños.
I like the way she narrated this video. No rambling on trying to sound like a rocket farmer. Just bam! Bam! Bam! There you go, Jalapeno peppers. A+
Will they survive the winter if you bring them inside? How long will the plants live?
You won't get sweet jalapeño and spicy bells – that's not how it works. Only the SEEDS are affected by cross pollination.
I guess this lady has never heard of fried green tomatoes.
I'm starting to see some jalapenos at last, only been 5 months .
Cross pollination will not change the pepper, just don’t save seed.
Very informative video growing my first jalapeno plant. I have a question I just started noticing jalapeno peppers on them they are skinny if I leave them on will they get fat like a normal jalapeno. Also I should have topped it like video suggested but this has been a learning process learning compost,manure and fertilizer other than that been pretty much letting it grow naturally
The seeds didn't germinate because the stuff from the grocery store is GMO garbage.
It's okay even if they cross pollinate, that won't affect the taste of the pods. The cross-pollination only affects the seeds so it's okay if you're not going to save seeds.
Awesome information. Ty
I have 2 pepper plants growing in my big truck and they just now started flowering.
One jalapeño and one banana pepper plants
Awesome video!
