Sometimes when you plant something, something else grows...

This year I planted some hybrid Jalapenos. On the package, it sounded like a good option for what I was looking for.
I now have seven hybrid jalapeno plants that have a lot of jalapenos on them, and not one of them has any heat at all. They all taste like green peppers! Now, I'm not upset because they outperformed my regular bell peppers, hands down. So I'm going to save these seeds and grow them again next year in place of my bell peppers!
