I grew something called Pumpkin Peppers this year - and just wonder what the
heck these things are? I can't believe they're actually a pepper -
certainly aren't a pumpkin. I get the feeling this plant is a genetic
mutation created in the secret labs of the flea beetles - I've never grown
ANYTHING the FBs like so much. I now have dozens of the "peppers" and
wonder if I must put them in a dehydrator to dry, let them dry on the vine,
in the barn...?

I've actually got some pepper plants hanging in the garage right now. I've
always found it easier to hang the plants than to pick and string the individual
peppers.

(I very rarely grow hot peppers anymore. My dad and I were the only ones who
liked them, and when he died 16 years ago a large part of my incentive was gone.)

If you search "pumpkin peppers" you end up with a couple of recipes and many,
many pages of fishing lures...
