Pumpkin Hot Pepper

[imaguitargod]

Funny guy, Just answer the questions

Just joshin' you.

The Brazilian Red Pumpkin is simalar but I don't know about the taste though.

 

[naganero]

yeah I read that earlier but when I looked it up on thechileman they dont really look alike. And since look is HER primary interest thats an issue. Taste matters to me thou. any other ideas. and places that you recommend for seeds? as to the last post Funny guy, I know yer Joshin,

 

[POTAWIE]

Its hard to discribe the awful taste. Very bitter. I had to spit it out and wash my mouth with scope. I could have had a bad one, but I'm not willing to try again. If you want some seeds naganero, I could probably set you up although they may not grow true. If they don't grow true, you may get some interesting hybrids. Actually I have an isolated plant growing at a friend's house that I could use for seeds.

Hey if you want to send they I'll try growing them. Do you still have my address? PM me and let me know.

any idea where seeds can be purchased other than Reimers

I was in a feed store here in NC. They were closing out seeds at the end on the year. The had 2 packages of pumpkin peppers from the Harris Seed Company of Rochester NY. If you need more info, let me know, I have their address and phone.

[POTAWIE]

I seen the same seeds this year at my local grocery store but this year they are wise enough to call them ornamental eggplant.

Hi everyone!
I know it's a very old topic but I've just found out WHAT you Potawie eat. You consumed a raw bitter eggplant's fruit
Here's the one for you http://images.google.com/images?q=Solanum integrifolium
Cheers

I grew them this year......And in (MY) opinion......they are the NOT peppers. They are Nasty to say the Least. They are fun to look at, but are good for nothing else. I will never grow again. I have had one sitting on my counter for about 4 weeks now, and still not gone soft or rotten. Just my 2 cents worth

Sure they're not peppers since they're eggplants

 

[POTAWIE]

They are definitely unedible eggplants but they make cool decorations and they no longer wrongly label them as C. annuum but now as ornamental eggplants

 

[Jah]

Asians eat them somehow Guess they soak them in salty water.

 

[POTAWIE]

Good to know they aren't poinonous cuz thats how they tasted to me

 

[Jah]

I didn't say they arent I said they might be not lethal to those Asians who know how to cook them

 

[MrArboc]

I'm pretty new to the forum and don't know how to post pics (or if I'm allowed) but I will try to post somewhere.

I was scratching my head for a while before I looked at the date on this post

 

[smokemaster]

Eggplant but it had spikes all over it.

I can't believe you of all people bought from reimers. Those are some sort of baby pumpkin they sold as a pepper. Complete this sentence. Don't buy from................

 

[Jah]

I've just bought this Solanum as Solanum from eBay. Just because it's funny.

I can't believe you of all people bought from reimers..

You must have been reading some of my anti-reimers posts, I have many
Yes I bought from Reimers in 2004-2005 and have been constantly warning people not to buy from them ever since.
