Jack, did the TAM jalapeno come up in the discussion? I've read only
about half the posts in this thread and haven't noticed it's being
mentioned. An agricultural scientist at Texas A&M developed a mild
jalapeno for the salsa industry, which wanted to market mild versions
of salsa to us gringos. I'm on record that this is rather like
developing a strain of slow race horses or tall dachshunds, but few
with power ever listen to me. Anyhow, I'm wondering if your jalapenos
might not be TAM hybrids.
Me, I switched to serranos.
