Hi Emmaclark, Welcome to Garden Web and The Plant Exchange! You have no email link on your member page, thus no way to email you. To set up your email link, just go to the bottom on any page here, and click on Member Pages Then click on Edit your Personal Information, Page, and Preferences You will then probably be asked to login in again. Then check the box Allow other users to send you email via forms at our site. For ease in trading you should check the box to show email addy to Members That will place a link on your member page, making it handy for members (potential traders) to reach you in the future. While there editing you might want to also place your state abbreviation in the one box provided for garden zone and location. (see I am zone 5/6 S In) It is beneficial info to have when trading for many reasons. Additionally, there are some traders (myself included) who often do not respond to many posts where the location of the OP is unknown. By putting the state abbreviation in your zone box, it will be listed in your Member Page, and it will also automatically be displayed each time you post. I see you have checked the box so that follow up replies will be emailed to you. I'm not sure if your lack of email link hindered then coming to you or not. Anyway, to email those who have posted to your thread, you can click on their member names here in the thread, and that will take you to their Member Page, and a link where you can email them. You won't however be able to email member name thelazygardener, as he is like you, and has no email link on his/her Member Page. Happy Gardening and trading. Sue ...chemocurl

A friend brought some over today. There is a lot of soil in the crannies. I rinsed , scrubbed and then peeled and they were fine. I'm told that if you do not peel them you will have painful gastric upset. I cut them in small pieces, braised briefly in butter, added black pepper. They were delicious but again one is advised to eat a limited amount-sort of as a garnish. The high inulin content ifs healthy for diabetics as well.

Hi Karyn, If you don't have it already I can offer you seeds of Shu Pepper, similar to variegated Jerusalem cherry only it has chile like pods which turn to orange and red at maturity. You can check my list also. hope we can trade, Bea

You need to start using Google as your search engine. Make doing research on plants a snap. ;-) Jeruselum Cherry is Solanum pseudocapsicum, probably most popular during the winter holidays because their bright red fruit look like ornaments. Toxic ornaments, though, lol! It's a pretty plant, a relative of tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, petunia, and nightshades. Do you have one or are you looking for one?
