Plants - 2023

Chili (December 2023 - September 2024)

 

WebMaster Remarks (September 2024):
Although I do not eat chili, I planted chili plants (朝天椒) because friends want to bet if I can plant them successfully.
The chili seeds were sowed in December 2023.
The plants were kept indoor, to maintain constant temperature & amount of moisture.
Flowers started opening in late July 2024.
As the plants are kept indoor (no bees), I applied 'manual pollination', using my fingers.
First chili developed in early August 2024.
Chilis were collected in early September 2024.  Chili size 2.5 inches (length). 
I tasted one (very small bite), very spicy hot!

 

 

 

WebMaster Remarks (July 2024):
Flower buds started to develop in mid-July 2024.

 

 

WebMaster Remarks (July 2024):
Many flowers fully opened since late July 2024.

 

 

WebMaster Remarks (August 2024):
First chili developed in early August 2024.
Most chilis started developing by mid-August 2024.

 

 

WebMaster Remarks (September 2024):

Although I do not eat chili, I did try the taste.  Wow!  Extremely spicy hot.

 

 

WebMaster Remarks (September 2024):
Chilis started to turn red in 10 days after cutting.

 

 

WebMaster Remarks (September 2024):
Chilis that I did not cut started to change from green to red in late September.
When a chili started to turn red, took only 1 day to change into fully red color.
