Does anyone recognize this? It's not a pepper that I recongnize, and doesn't look like an eggplant. It came out of a tray of what was supposed to be peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants. I guess I could wait until it bears fruit to see for sure, but I am rather curious. I have about a dozen of these, and I'm wondering if it is a tai eggplant of some sort?
Oops..sorry about the broken link. I decided to clean up all of the junk on my website, and didn't get around to regenerating this directory. The link should not work. Here is a newer shot I took just yesterday.
The link should *now* work....too early in the morning to type...brain cells not awake.
Not eggplant and not pepper. They're likely weeds (but still in the nightshade family). There is a possibility of ground cherry or tomatillo. But they look like some of the weedy nightshades the birds deposit around my place. Healthy, though. (Mine usually look a bit shot-holed by flea beetles.)
It does now - I was cleaning up my website the other day, and had not got around to regenerating these files.
I think they are tomatillo, I remember now planting some when I did the tomatoes/peppers/eggplants. I went out and examined them and realized that when young the leaf edges are smooth, but develop jaggies when they get older. So both pics are indeed the same plants. Here are some more pics of them that show the developing buds:
