Something has been eating the leaves, but the plant is doing really well! This came from a seed from a pepper from the store - it was labeled as either an "ancient" or a "twisty" pepper.

This is the biggest pepper on the biggest plant and is around 6 inches long! (all I had with me for scale was my hand, but later remembered that none of you know how big my hand is ๐Ÿ˜‹) It's in one of the half-barrel sized planters with another of the same kind, and 2 tabasco pepper plants.

Take it as a compliment.

You grew berries the wildlife preferred. You beat nature. Look at those wild berries and shame them, for they will never be as delicious and their seeds will not be spread.
