Joy and sadness: watching the chili trees grow in the yard of our own house
8 comments
Sometimes life doesn't go the way we expect. There are things that make us annoyed and even very annoyed with things that people think are trivial but are like being an atomic bomb for ourselves, so it depends on how each person deals with their own problems. Likewise with me and my husband. And since having our own house we have an antidote which for us is very effective, that medicine is our adorable and cute green one, namely our mini garden which we take care of like our own children. If I wake up in the morning then I immediately open the window, I can already see my mini plants in front of the house growing very healthy and filled with morning dew, while when I see this mini garden in the afternoon there is a warm heart and feeling Fatigue due to the many jobs in the office also disappeared after that.
Like our dream before, if we only wanted to have a small house with a large yard with lots of plants growing, and now we can make it happen. Even though there are many types of plants that we grow in our yard but for now I will only tell my chili tree to fulfill my promise to @kennyroy. How do I plant and care for my chilies until they are ready to be harvested like they are today, and I will show them off to all of you and you shouldn't be jealous of the results of my garden on this one..ha..ha..
The chilies that I planted From planting the seeds, caring for them until now I just have to wait for the harvest to take approximately 3 months or 95 days. To plant this chili, I bought seeds that had grown to about 1 week old. There were two types of chili that were sold at the nursery, namely red chili and bird's eye chili. And I will tell you one by one because I almost forgot to capture every moment of their growth and development. And I only have a photo when the chili seeds were just planted and surrounded by a bamboo fence so that our pets, namely ducks and chickens, would not eat them.
You can see for yourself that my red chilies are thriving, very excited, right? I only have to wait a few days for the green chilies to age and turn red and then they are ready to be harvested. And my red chili is considered very successful even though I only planted it once.
In contrast to my cayenne pepper which is a bit of a failure. At first we didn't know where we went wrong why almost all of our cayenne pepper leaves curled, we searched the internet and sprayed them with foliar fertilizer so that the cayenne pepper leaves didn't curl. However, it didn't work, our cayenne pepper leaves still curled like they had just left the salon.
There was a friend who saw our cayenne pepper in such a sorry state. Armed with his experience of having a chili tree too, he said that most likely my cayenne pepper had curly leaves because I have cempokak trees around the cayenne pepper. it was from the cempokak tree that the pests of fleas and stink bugs came and invaded my chili tree, this was really new knowledge for me.
Although it is a bit late, but the value of this knowledge and experience is quite expensive. And now my cayenne pepper trees are still healthy and just learning to bear fruit, only a few trees remain. Even so, I am very happy because my cayenne pepper tree has survived to bear fruit.
Everything needs a process and that is what I experienced with my chili trees. In the future when I plant my chilies again, I will make sure to move the cempokak tree and not get too close to the chili trees. Greetings and healthy greetings from us Tomi and Maya from the city of Binjai, Indonesia
