Unknown herb

Unknown plant. A few months ago I planted various herbs. Sadly, most of them died, but two plants survived.

Last weekend I tried one of the basil plants, and I took a bite from its leaves.

Well, it turned out that it wasn't basil. Now I'm not sure what plant it is.

Unknown plant.

(Picture is from September last year; the plant is much bigger now).

Zo uit de verte (dat is erg ver als je nagaat) lijkt het op peper of paprika.

A friend said it looks like a tomato plant.

Which would not be very nice, since the leaves of tomato plant are poisonous...

Volgens mij oregano. Nu heb je 3 keuzes wat het kan zijn :)

I don't think it's tomato or oregano. I'm with Jaap, pepper or paprika. Don't worry, it's not poisonous.

I'm with Jerry and Jaap, probably paprika. :-)

Thanks for the advice.

I'll post a picture of the plant as it is now (still green, no fruits or anything yet, but bigger). Paprika or pepper would be quite welcome.
