I bought two pepper plants this summer, both of which must have been
> mislabeled, as they are most certainly not bell peppers. One plant is smaller,
> with small (2") pointy peppers that are turning fire engine red from green.
> They are super hot. The peppers grow in an upright direction (point to the
> stars) if you know what I mean. There's 100 or so on this small bush. >
> The second plant is larger than the first, with the same type of leaves. The
> peppers on this plant are long and thin and beginning to curl (the average
> pepper is 6" long), and are dark green. They don't seem as hot as the first. >
> I know my basic peppers (bell, jalapeno, habenero, bannana, etc.) but have no

> crushing and using later). Your help is appreciated.
