SnowCronan's blog: seed trade that wasn't

Posted on Aug 5, 2019 6:17 AM

So earlier this year I traded some flower seeds to a lady who had tobasco pepper seeds. My family loves a good spicey pepper and I've never grown tobasco pepper plants before so this year we decided to grow them. We were excited to get them and I put them in the greenhouse to get a good start before tempering them to the garden space.

Tucked those cute wittle plant in with some short marigolds and off they go.Wooooo! so excited to get this plant rolling. Well, the marigolds did just fine and all the other peppers did great.. did we get tobasco pepper? um.. no.

What we did get has confused me and I've spent so much time searching to no avail. What the heck is it? the bloom has the shape of a petunia but surely it's not petunia? But the silly thing has bloomed all summer long. The current bloom dies off and within days there's another set bright and pretty.

Was out there looking at it and checking it for the fall season and now I'm finding fat black seed pods just waiting for me to pick them. They are about the size of peppercorns. So I managed to bust one open. the inside was white. So now the search on growing peppercorn to see if it matches.

What do ya'll think?
