Early bearing Bubba offers heavy sets of 3-3 1/2 inch plump fruits on compact, vigorous plants. These glossy, thick-walled, crispy peppers are a perfect all-purpose chile that delivers well-rounded medium heat, clocking in at 20,000 on the Scoville heat level. Use Bubba Jalapeños to add zing to any homemade salsa, pickle them for year-round eating, stuff for great “poppers” and enjoy them liberally at either the green or red stage for adding a delicious lift to everyday cooking.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING SEEDLINGS
In early spring, start indoors about 2 months before night temperatures stay reliably 50-55°F (10-13°C). Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep and 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix. Keep moist but not soggy, and very warm 80-85°F (27-30°C). Provide a strong light source until seedlings are ready to plant outside.
When seedlings are 2 inches tall, transplant into deeper individual containers. Maintain at 70-75°F (21-24°C). Feed with half-strength fertilizer every week until weather is warm enough to gradually acclimate seedlings to outdoor conditions. Transplant 2 feet apart into rich soil in full sun.
GROWING NOTES
Jalapeños need warm conditions. Don’t transplant outdoors until night temperatures stay securely above 55°F (13°C). Prepare soil well with aged manure or compost. Plant only robust seedlings with well-developed roots. Mulch plants to maintain even soil moisture. Keep well weeded, watered and fertilized.
