Today I returned to my garden to check on the progress of my chili plants. This weekend I'm just gardening because I don't have any plans to go out. Besides, I've been busy with work for the past few days, so I haven't been able to check on each of my chili plants individually.

Very early in the morning, I set off for my garden, which is about a kilometer from my house. When I arrived, I was very happy because my chili plants were already big and thriving.

Sorry, the picture isn't very clear because there was still fog in the morning. They're growing big and the leaves are green. I'm happy because they're free from pests, and hopefully, they'll bear fruit abundantly.

Some were almost falling over due to last night's rain. I immediately tied them to the stakes I'd placed in each tree to support them so they wouldn't break or fall over while bearing fruit.

I was surprised to see some of them bearing fruit abundantly without me. I realized the fruit was already large. Hopefully, this is a good sign. This September has brought blessings for me. Besides my plants bearing fruit, it has also rained frequently this month, preventing drought. They look thriving. Hopefully, I can get a big harvest this time.

When I got home, I also noticed the progress of my cayenne pepper plants, which I planted about 15 days ago. These are the cayenne pepper seedlings I uploaded in my previous post in this community, and now I've moved them to my garden.

There are only a few seeds left. Because this plot is full, I'm saving these seedlings to replace them in case any die. They are also starting to grow well, with large, green leaves. Although about 5 percent are deformed, it doesn't have a major impact.

Furthermore, I also noticed the progress of my mango tree. Yesterday, it had many small fruits, but now many have fallen off before they have time to grow large. This is the exact opposite of the chili plant. If the chili plant thrives when it rains frequently, but many of the mango fruits drop, what's the cause?

I've tried various care methods, such as watering it with calcium fertilizer and spraying it with insecticide to prevent pests. If you have a solution, please let me know!

I also harvested the cayenne peppers, which I specifically use for my family's cooking needs.

These chilies are growing in abundance, as I mentioned earlier. This is in stark contrast to the mango tree. These cayenne peppers are growing more and more fertile. The stems are already as tall as I am when I stand, and the fruit is abundant. Only a small portion is visible on camera, while there are still many more to the side and behind.

I didn't harvest them all, as I'm specifically using them for my family's cooking needs. So, I only picked what I needed, and I only picked the ripest and ripest ones.

These are the chilies I harvested from my garden today. Enjoying the harvest from my own garden is so delicious and fresh because it's picked and cooked immediately afterward, and it's definitely healthier. I really enjoy gardening because plants give me fresh, delicious, and healthy fruit. I will continue to monitor the development of my plants and care for them so they thrive, avoid pests, and hopefully, have a bountiful harvest.
