Hey all,

I'm in my fourth year of hot pepper cultivation. It's getting better every year, but I have a question about my crop so far this year. I have 16 plants in a raised bed garden in my back yard. They get full sun, but the spring has been really hit and miss this year in Indiana. Anyway, I transplanted a little early and I've had to cover my crops with bed sheets a few times. My plants have fully recovered and have started growing again. 4 of my plants are early jalapeno. This is where my question comes into play. One of my Ealry Jals is starting to produce already. It's got two peppers, one is about an inch long and the othe is probably just short of a half-inch. The problem is that the plant itself is only about 9-10 inches tall. This doesn't seem right at all to me. Should I be worried that my Early Jal plants will not get any taller? Thanks in advance for any advice you might offer!

Andy
