Instructions
Planting
- Prepare your pots or garden bed by filling them with potting soil, ensuring good drainage.
- Plant the jalapeño seeds a quarter-inch deep and about 6 inches apart, if using a garden bed, or one seed per pot.
- Lightly cover the seeds with soil and gently water to moisten the soil.
Care and Growth
- Place your pots or garden bed in a sunny location where they can receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

Notes
It typically takes 70-80 days for jalapeño plants to mature and produce fruit after planting. Remember, patience is key when growing your own ingredients!
