Jalapeño Pepper Harvest: Continuous Production Until Frost

Asks if picking all peppers makes plant regrow them, or if seeds must be saved for next crop.

Answer: Keep Picking!

Jalapeños are **indeterminate producers** — flower & fruit continuously until frost.
**More harvest = more production.** Plant replaces picked fruit.
Typical yield: 50+ peppers/plant/season.

Most store‑bought / nursery plants are hybrids. Saved seed ≠ parent. Buy fresh seed/transplants yearly.

Harvest often, fertilize, enjoy months of jalapeños.
