Sergeant Pepper, in the garden, with a purple stake.
Maybe.
The mystery started with Free Super Saver Shipping. I was short 81 cents – cents! I tell you. Less than one simple dollar! I brought my order to the magic $25 by ordering a packet of seeds. The seeds, Rainbow Peppers, cost just enough to put me over the minimum.
Clue number one: the package
Clue number two: my pepper plot, including jalapeno, banana peppers, and the “wide array of color” rainbow peppers.
Many Little Peppers and how they grow!
Clue number three: an honest to goodness jalapeno, maybe. Or it could be a yellow banana type. It’s a little too small to tell.
A single pepper – so far
Clue numbers four and more: what in the world of gardening are these creatures?

Garden mysteries can be great fun. Except, of course, when they involve the strange-looking spots on the leaves of the tomato plant which are diagnosed by the extension agent as tomato blight!
