Wearing rubber gloves (to protect your skin) seed and chunky-chop the jalapenos and freeze on a cookie sheet. When frozen, put in a ziplock bag and store in the freezer until needed; this way you don’t get a big, frozen glop of peppers for easier measuring when it’s time to make salsa.

The plants that aren’t flowering could be caused by a few things; your fertilizer is too high in nitrogen or you are mulching with grass clippings (also full of nitrogen) or the temps have either been too cool or too hot to set fruit. (I didn’t look to see where you live.)

I’m in southern WI and it is COOL here; lots of blooms, some fruiting, but not as much as there should be right now on fabulous, healthy, big, strong pepper and tomato plants. It’s always something! :)

Thank you very much, I know what I will be doing later today. I am in North Dakota and while I have been loving the weather, everyone else says it is cool this year.
After reading Red-Devils answer I remember a few weeks ago the conversation about the feed. I think that is why my radishes are 2 feet tall and no radish also.
