Boron Elgar said: Something got planted in the deck garden and escaped a label. Since several family members were digging through the seed envelopes (of which there are at least 150, many with no photos or drawings) and plating that day, I have (almost) no idea of what it is. It was placed along side the pots that have lettuce spinach and greens, so I am guessing it might be some sort of edible, but frankly, it would be nice to confirm that. I have boldly tasted a leaf and it is peppery - in fact, similar to a green pepper taste. I have a bunch of Asian vegetable/greens seeds with no English on them. Something along those lines perhaps? The leaves are not soft, as spinach would be, they are bendable, surely, but more stiff. The plants are about 12" tall right now. Nevertheless, with all the fun had by everyone the day of planting, this might be anything. Mystery can be interesting, I suppose. Please don't let me lead you down the primrose path with the info above. Any help is appreciated. http://i40.tinypic.com/6qw86p.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/2uj1k6x.jpg Wait a bit and see if it blooms and fruits. Looks to me like some kind of pepper plant. -- Peace!

I have peppers of all sorts growing and even the most adventurous among the family would not have dropped that much pepper seed into one pot. Nevertheless... G |
