I have grown what I think is a sweet pepper, rather than a chili pepper from a random seed I found.
It grown long & leggy, like a climber almost. No flowers yet. the leaves are ovate & fat of varying sizes. They are alo furry!? Its the furryness that is throwing me in identifying this plant. As most peppers seem to be kind of diamond shaped & shiny..but is this only the chilli types?
I have a sneaky feeling its a sweet pepper, but would love to identify it.
Can anybody help?

    why did I think it was a pepper..maybe because I save seeds without naming them..lesson to learn her. Anyway, the conclusion is, is that its a cape gooseberry. Must of been one of my random munchy saves!
    But wonderful..never grown them before & think its grows big, so I`ll put it in my friends poly.
