Chili Pepper Garden Improves!

Chili peppers is always part of my daily meal. So I always buy some whenever I get to the market. A few months a go, I bought a lot of chili peppers and those that were not immediately used, got rotten. I told my mom not to throw them away. So I kept them on a container, let them rot some more then dried them up. I am planning to use the seeds for my gardening endeavors. So a week ago, my husband took a few of my seeds and placed them on our veggie garden. He said, the chili will grow because this is how nature works.

And yes, finally, our chili pepper garden is showing some improvement (I thought it wouldn’t). Some of the seeds my husband placed on top of the ground germinated and it grew some leaves. It is showing progress and I believe that in the next few months we might be harvesting our own chili peppers!

So, if you love chili peppers like me, planting one this summer will be a good idea!!

Gardening Endeavors

Last 2011, I already expressed my desire to start a veggie garden. That is the reason why I created this blog. Aside from my dream house, I want to blog about my gardening endeavors too. FYI: This blog started June 2011.

My motive why I really wanted to start a garden because I want to have my very own sili garden (chili pepper - the smaller version here in the Philippines). I love to have hot sauces when I eat or hot dishes. In short, I want to have a fresh produce of sili every time I want one. But since I was so busy with life, I was not able to start my garden preparation until last week.

My husband surprised me! He readied my garden plot so that I can just start cultivating and planting. Then, my husband wanted to test drive his gardening theories and spread the sili seeds that I have dried for months now. He wanted to prove he is right about just putting the seeds on top of the ground instead burying it underground. He said that is the natural way how plants germinate and grow. Since he insisted, I let him be. Until now, his seed aren’t growing and I haven’t started cultivating my plot yet. LOL!!

My interest got intense when I saw Sexy Nomad’s garden project last January 2012. She grew fresh veggies from plastic pots in their condo in Manila! I got totally inspired!!!

Oh well, my children and I have decided to make gardening a summer activity. So I guess we need a “good luck” on that. I don’t have a green thumb and I don’t know about my kids. Anyway, I am excited to start. I just need to buy something before I start. I want to plant a successful veggie garden!
