A Mantis! You don't know how many people around here would like a friend like that! As for your pepper identification. I have similar looking habaneros. I bet they have long low somewhat intrusive branches (like scotch bonnets) if you let them grow their own way. My seeds are also from Africa. Except mine ripen straight from green to a deep red. Extremely hot, quite a bit hotter than the Scotch Bonnet. I suspect it is an orange habanero. Which is a scorcher of a pepper. That's my guess. My own peppers have all the aspects of the Red Savina. But I doubt Savinas are grown in Africa. Someone around here might know. For now, mine certainly a Red Habanero.

I think that's great! I'll take a look at that link, maybe it'll help me. My garden has been very haphazard the last couple of years. Keep us posted! Lee Ann

Let's have a little friendly disagreement Mantis ...dandelions versus violets. Gimme violets any time . First they are pretty . Second as you said you can just scratch them out of the garden if you don't want them and even when they become an adult clump they pop out easily . Dandelions on the other hand ( and there are more than one variety of dandelions some with a single tap root and others with a tap root and various side roots ......these are killer to get out ) are the biggest bane to man ......medicinal properties aside. Their roots go for forever and when you are trying to remove them just when you think you have got it .......the root snaps off ........the plant then generates more damn dandelions. I have a tool that goes at least 8 inches into the ground and even that one sometimes can't loosen a dandelion root enough to pull it out intact . I also live surrounded by farmer's fields which they spray within an inch of their lives but when they grow hay , much of it is dandelion and there is noooooooooo getting away from them infesting my gardens. Give me a violet any day!

Aww thanks Camp. I guess you could consider the structure a large shed/small barn lol. Large enough to house a tractor, dump cart, some lawn furniture and many odds and ends! The smaller one being a garden shed...I purchased an ‘outhouse’ sign to hang above the door lol, but never got around to mounting it. Maybe I will this summer....
