Can anyone help me identify this weed/plant? It popped up in my front yard.

Looks a little like some kind of pepper/chili. Then again, it's vaguely like basil.

Yeah, I'm no help.

Looks like basil. Tear a piece of one of the leaves off and see if it smells like basil.

so it seems I need to go buy some padlocks for my pens today. when you all of a sudden you have mystery deaths of a few animals, then discover in the morning the gate is open to the pen(a few times) it is no longer a mystery of what happened to your animals. some people are just sick and cruel and absolute cowards.

Birth Announcement:

Just hatched 11 rare Buff Rocks (Standard Bred)....eggs came all the way from Virginia.
These should be gorgeous, large birds...excited to watch them grow out!!
I will try to post pics in the next few days.

Yeah! Good going! How many did you start with, 18? Anything better than 50% on shipped eggs is said to be good. Can't wait to see pics and how they grow out.

Really? I would be extremely P O'd. I'd probably put up a camera to find out who so I could pay them a little visit.

It's not basil. I've not grown peppers in my front yard before. I think the chances are slim it's a volunteer pepper, but that would be really cool! It came up in the gravel and is apparently VERY drought tolerant.

That's horrible! So you think someone was intentionally letting out your chickens so your dog would kill them? Time to set up cameras. Or just electrify your gate.

Also need a camera too to catch these cowards!
