On a personal note, I have my eye on them because they can produce hundreds in about 9 square feet. Unlike bell peppers, Jalapeno peppers don&#8217;t require as much staking and are not as prone to wind damage. After all, they are much smaller than Bell peppers. <\/p>\n<p>Another reason why they make such a good addition to a garden or commercial hydroponic garden is that they have had a history of salmonella and other microbial contamination from improper growing and improper handling; not to mention eating &#8216;Huevos a la Mexicana&#8217; with fresh Jalapenos have a texture unrivaled by none. <\/p>\n<p>As I stand and ponder larger hydroponic farming and Urban Farming, Jalapenos rank high on the list with Bell Peppers, lettuce and indeterminate vine tomatoes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At first hear, you may not think of Jalapenos as a typical pepper plant to grow in the Pacific Northwest.
