My One Gamla Kitchen Garden - 1 |
|
(An adventure with Chilli pepper in 2018)
|
|
.
|
| For some time, may be years,
now it is almost my habit that I sow seeds of different vegetables and fruits in
one or more gamlas (flower pots) or kyari (flower bed, plant bed) of our lawn. I
do this only for testing what happens: whether they germinate or not. In most
cases they do germinate. |
| A few months ago a Chilli
plant (facing heaven pepper 'skyward-pointing chili pepper') whose seeds I once sowed in a gamla (flower pot)
and that was giving it's vegetable/fruit frequently, started to show signs of
decay. Despite my efforts to save that Chilli plant it died, after trying to
live. After a few days of that Chilli plant's death one day while I was feeling
sad for that now dead Chilli plant and watering my other plants in our lawn I saw
a green Chilli hanging from a small Chilli plant in a nearby gamla (flower pot).
View of that hanging green Chilli, partially hidden behind Chilli plant's leaves,
made me happy again. |
| After almost a week of that
Chilli sighting I took IshI, my 3.75 years old niece, to show that Chilli. By now
color of that green Chilli was changed to red color. Because IshI for the first
time saw Chilli hanging from it's plant in real life so she liked and enjoyed
that moment/experience very much. That excitement and happiness of IshI made me
to save that Chilli by taking it's photos. |

| After taking that ripe
Chilli's many photos I helped IshI pluck it from plant and now that Chilli is in
process of drying. After that I and IshI will again sow it’s seeds in some gamla
(flower pot). So then our experiment cum adventure will start over again . . . |

If there are any mistakes then I will surely remove them whenever found.
