Most years I try to grow a few different varieties of chile in the polytunnel. Jalapenos are always on the list so we can pickle them for use on pizzas, in fajitas and tacos and suchlike. 2011 hasn’t exactly been the best year for vegetables because of the odd weather, but my Jalapenos seem to have done ok (despite the odd bit of munching by slugs or snails):
I’ve left the plants in the polytunnel and unless the winter turns considerably colder through January and February it’s entirely possible the plants will make it through to the spring to start growing again. I look forward to that happening, but I think I’ll be starting off some new plants in the propagator around the start of February, just in case…
