I've been eating jalapenos off my own trees for about six years now. Plucking and tossing them into my stew or grill or even curry, they add so much flavour - and it is a great feeling knowing I grew it myself. I have spread out, giving seedlings to others and many are eating them now.

Think on it - seedlings really are the cheapest ever gifts, yet they give pleasure for months or years and also do good.
