Smack him good. http://extension.oregonstate.edu/question-of-the-week/are-there-male-and-female-peppers hence the fun guess I should have put this in the jokes and games section instead. I was sure Petee would be the first to correct me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavender Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Nah, it would be like an apple being male or female. A flower can be male or female with both on the same plant or each being produced by a seperate plant. Zucchini has both male and female flowers on the same plant but only the female flowers produce fruit after being pollinated. A flower can have both male and female organs so each flower then produces a fruit like a tomato. The seeds are the actual babies with the pepper or the tomato being the "cradle". OK, gator guess I was the one who was spoofed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but I was out planting tulips and other bulbs today on Long Avenue. I can make a fool of myself with the best of them but I missed it today.

OK, gator guess I was the one who was spoofed. nope you weren't. I was having a bit of fun but put it in the wrong forum and should have used a bit more humor to separate it. I laughed when I saw it on facebook but sometimes my humor doesn't get conveyed the right way. I was tired of the political stuff and figured I'd try some humor. . I should try to sleep before I post again also LOL I had a few quick turnover days at work plus 3 hour total drive time up and back. First two days left home at 5pm and got home at 8:30am then turned around on second day and left again at 1pm got home at 12:30 am and back driving again at 5am and then back home by 5pm. Needless to say at lunch yesterday anything seemed funny to me so I figured I would try and post something funny as I was gobbling down a quick late lunch LOL Anyway you are right it is the flowers on the plants. I plant over a hundred pepper plants a year. One year it was 147 lol I had plants everywhere on my deck on the railings on the steps going down.They are my favorite plant to watch grow. I don't know why but they just seem so hearty no matter the conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
