When I plunked an extra pepper plant that didn’t go into my Square Foot Garden for the 2017 season, I had really hoped it was a bell pepper.  It’s obvious now that these are jalapenos which I started in a small amount just to add a touch of heat to some homemade salsa.  The tomatoes and other peppers, however, did not produce in sufficient quantity to make even a small batch of salsa.

So here I am with a strong jalapeno pepper plant growing in my desktop aquaponic bed.  We are counting at least 15 peppers already!  Fortunately a friend of mine let me sample some of his stuffed jalapenos and now we are actually excited to have a source of jalapeno peppers.  He just cut open the peppers, scooped out the seeds and then filled them to overflow with a mixture of crumbled bacon and cream cheese.  We should be serving up a batch of these in HumblevilleUSA very soon!
