Hello!
We need help! This year we grabbed a packet of "multi-variety Bell
pepper"
seeds. Instead of bells, we had this strange and mysterious creature show up. Ive been all over google and a multitude of gardening and vegetable sites and cant find anything that is similar. Can any of you help?
characteristics: (I tried to upload a photo but it wont let me)
looks like any other
pepper plant
green leaves, small white
flowers in clusters
peppers start as tiny, round, green fruits that turn purple-black.
They stay small, no more than 1/4 inch diameter
We finally dared to eat one today, and the texture is like a tomato/
pepper mix. Its more like a berry, very juicy, and sweet/meaty flavor.
The plants are covered in these tiny black pearls. The leaves are bright green and the fruit tastes sweet so its not a black pearl decorative
pepper plant.
The fruit is also rounder than traditional cherry
peppers, and I cant find anything about a purple/black cherry
pepper variety.
Any ideas? I will try to get a picture up for you.
Thanks!
