Prized for its unique, fruity tang, datil pepper also packs a heat compared to habanero. It's closely associated with St. Augustine where it was first grown, but datil peppers can be grown throughout Florida. Learn more about July's featured plant at UF/IFAS Gardening Solutions: buff.ly/8R8Orbs

A bushy green plant with several light green hot peppers visible. A sign in the plant's pot reads Sweet Datil Pepper.

Get yourself a cake donut or a bear claw this place knows what it’s doing. There’s no inside you have to walk up to the window and point and hold up fingers of what you want.

Tas-t-os donuts and Tony getting donuts. The building is one story brick with white awning and individual light up squares with the letters of the shop in them ombre yellow to red. Red and white vertical stripes on half of building. Blue sky white clouds. Windows in front building have stacks of donut boxes. Other window has donuts.

Been around since 1969 and make all donuts in site. Located in Ocala.
