I must say that my chili plants in my garden is not really succesfull, despite it bear some fruit already, but the result is not as great as I was expected. When it was still in its vegetative stage, I really wish that the plant will give me the best result, but now, I understand that this plant need frequent and constant care so that it will give the best result.
In my previous update I show you how the plant wasall green, and has so many flower, which is the sign that we need for the best crop, but then things get a different route from there. There are so many factors in that, some are enviromental, and mostly my neglect that caused the problem.
When the early fruits got bigger and awaiting for it maturity, it was eaten by maybe something, which I suspect it was rats. They eat the tip of the fruit only, which I forgot to take photos, because I was so upset by that at that time.
And then another things hit, most of the flower failed to be the fruit, not because of pollination, but I think it is because the lack of Kalium and Calsium that is needed during the vegetative stage.


Ic can be mitigated actually, if only I didn't neglect them, and spray them with the needed nutrient, but as somehow I always forget to buy the festilizer anf applay it to the plants.
here are the fruit that managed to stay, and hopefully will be mature soon. The other attack that I got is from the fruit fly, where they injected their eggs into the young fruit, whcih later on they hatched, and ruin the fruit, eating it inside out.




Then this is the other problem that I have is this fungal disease,that turn the flower yellow, which then hinder their fotosynthetic process.


I have tried to spray it with fungiside, but since I planted this chilli under the frangipani tree, which also have the same fungal problem, I think trying to cure it is not worth it, as the fungal can always come again and again from the tree.


Another problem that I have, this chilli is also being attacked by somekind of thrips, that sucked out the liquid fromt he young shoot, and make them dry, as you can see at the new shoot below, it was wilted and dried.




But the funny thing is that the chili that I have outside on the wall, grows really wel, it even bear a lot of fruit, although the size is not as big as the one that I have in the garden inside the wall.


The beautiful red color. ;)


And this is for my friend @karinxxl as I promise to show my tomato plant. this one grow really well, but unfortunately it grow in the small ditch in front of my house which. I hardly take care of it, not even give any fertilizer, but it grow really well.
Unfortunately I don't think anyone will want to harvest them, unlike the chilli plant that I have. Mostly because it is far too organic as it grows in the ditch, that is also being used as the sewage for the run off water by a few of my neighbor.
But despite that, kept the plant to learn about tomatoes, and to see how they grow as well, before I try to plant it in the farmland in the future. :)
