August garden journal challenge: harvesting chilies and grapefruit in my garden

How are you all, friends? Welcome back to my blog. I hope we are all blessed and continue to meet in this beloved community.

A very good start to August, after last July was full of drought, with almost no rain in my area, which stunted the growth of my plants and even killed some. However, as August entered, it rained several times, and my chili plants began to look lush.

Very early in the morning, I was in my chili garden, which is quite far from home. I was very happy to see my chili plants starting to thrive. My action today was to increase the fertility of these chili plants by watering them with fertilizer.

_{I apologize for the less clear image because it was still very early in the morning.}

First, I dissolved NPK fertilizer with water and humic acid. Then, I put the solution in a spray bottle and added water until it was full. This fertilizer solution is for me. Water, not spray.

I water the base of each tree. I don't know how much I water, just an estimate. My hope is that my chili plants will grow more fertile and bear fruit abundantly. This garden can accommodate a thousand chili plants. This is my dedicated business area.

When I arrived home, I checked the progress of my cayenne pepper seedlings, which were only four days old after sowing.

The seedlings appeared to be growing perfectly, although some hadn't emerged from their holes yet, but there weren't many. The sprouts showed excellent results, with large stems and broad leaves. I will continue to care for them until transplanting. To protect them from direct sunlight and rain, I used a shade net as a roof.

Also, I have cayenne pepper plants that are ready to be harvested, planted behind my house. I will harvest them today, but only for cooking today.

These cayenne peppers have a lot of fruit and continue to flower after the rain. Having a garden like this at home is so much fun when you want to cook. You just pick it, and it's still so fresh and healthy.

I'm also checking on my grapefruit plants to see if the fruit is ready to be harvested today. After harvesting a few days ago, I now have some ready to be harvested again.

I'm so happy because nature always gives me the best. I care for the plants, and they give me edible fruit. If we are close to nature, we will feel calm. If we care for nature, nature will reciprocate by growing and nourishing our plants, as I'm experiencing right now, constantly seeing the fruits of my plants.

This is the harvest from my garden today as a report on my garden journal for this month: three grapefruits and some chilies to eat.

I want to invite you to see and enjoy the joy of having your own garden. After harvesting the grapefruits, I'll immediately peel them and show you the inside of these fresh grapefruits.

Look at how fresh the grapefruit flesh is. This Balinese, which comes from my own garden, tastes very delicious, fresh and sweet, I can't say much else, this is very perfect, what other delicious things would you deny that's what I said?

In conclusion, I really like gardening, enjoying the results from my own garden, I feel more satisfied, tastier and healthier,

_{Thank you for visiting my blog, I hope you enjoy my garden, see you next time
