Um is this normal?

[Ainadaliel]

So I planted some jalapeno seeds that I "harvested" from some peppers I bought from an organic farm. I planted them and look what I got! Is this normal for jalapenos? It's my first time growing my own peppers and I'm so weirded out that they didn't turn out like the short, stumpy ones I bought from the farm!

Doesn't look like a jalapeno to me. What else were they growing? Looks like it's crossed with something else, like a banana pepper or poblano. Don't expect jalapeno, but maybe it'll be an interesting hybrid.

Looks crossed with a Poblano to me.. pretty neat Jalaplano! Seems like most accidental crosses I get taste awful. Let us know how it is.

Yup...a cross between a Jal and either a pablano or anaheim looks like. Might be tasty! Could have a bit of a firm outer skin to it and need to be roasted and peeled if its been crossed with either of those.

Looks like the plant is rather sickly. I would just trash the plant and try again.

It doesn't look real good. Maybe a virus is affecting the fruit.

No, it's not normal. Thumbnails are usually clear, or painted with something other than a sharpie...

lol.. was trying to figure out what you were referencing, kept looking at the other posts and wondering what the heck you were talking about, then realized I should probably check the pic again..

but yeah the plant looks pretty limp, does it get enough water?
