    Plant Questions

    In the Central Texas area, the safest time to start planting jalapenos is in late April to mid May and that can depend on whether you are growing from seeds or from starter plants.  It takes about three months for the plants to produce fruit, so, if you start now, it could be October or November before you will reap any jalapenos, and, you would need to protect your plants from frost or ground temperatures below 60 degrees.  Please check with your local nursery or county extension office for advice specific to where you live.
