hard to tell without them being ripe, they do look like habaneros though. What color were the pods last year? the first pod looks funky, that's pretty common on capsicums. Kind of looks like a pumpkin lol
lmao. Like one of those mini gourd pumpkins. They were a light red last year. A really unique color, not quite red no matter how long you left them on the plant. Very consisten shape though, kinda like a Caribbean hot, but larger.
Good luck with them & don't worry. If he didn't cut & paste the same snide remark into everybody's id threads, oddly, he wouldn't have much else to say..
