Going through my old photos I found these that filled me with much excitement and enthusiasm, it is about the time I grew and later harvested my first plant of peppers, it was really a very nice process that filled me with joy 😃 because if I am honest, when I sowed the seeds I did not believe they were going to grow, because I never had success growing anything, but it gave me great joy to see the first shoots, and later to see how those first shoots began to bloom. The first bloom is merely ornamental, but on the next one the magic happened, little green bumps started to emerge from the flowers, and those were nothing more than the little peppers that were being born.
Revisando mis viejas fotos encontré estas que me llenaron de mucha emoción y entusiasmo, se trata de la vez que cultivé y posteriormente coseché mi primera planta de pimientos, fue de verdad un proceso muy bonito que me llenó de alegría 😃 porque si les soy honesta, cuando yo sembré las semillas no creí que fuesen a crecer, porque yo nunca tuve éxito cultivando nada, pero me dio mucha alegría ver los primeros brotes, y posteriormente ver como esos primeros brotes empezaron a florecer. La primera floración es meramente ornamental, pero en la siguiente ocurrió la magia, unos pequeños bultos verdes empezaron a emerger de las flores, y esos no eran otra cosa más que los pequeños pimientos que estaban naciendo.
As the days went by my plant was getting more beautiful, the only bad thing was that it only had a couple of bell peppers, but that did not matter to me, I was very proud of my beloved plant, it really is that growing your own food is very satisfying.
A medida que iban pasando los días mi planta se iba poniendo más hermosa, lo único malo es que solo tenía un par de pimientos, pero eso no me importó, yo estaba muy orgullosa de mi amada planta, de verdad es que eso de cultivar tus propios alimentos es muy satisfactorio.
Unfortunately, as time went by, only one bell pepper remained because the other one got a brown spot and stopped growing. This made me a little nervous because I did not want the only bell pepper that was left to fall from the plant, so I dedicated myself to take care of it with more zeal, researching on the internet the causes of the deterioration, so I moved the plant several times so that it did not receive too much sunlight or too much shade.
Lamentablemente con el pasar del tiempo solo quedó un pimiento porque al otro le salió una mancha marrón y dejó de crecer. Esto me puso un poco nerviosa porque yo no quería que el único pimiento que quedaba e cayera de la planta, por lo tanto me dediqué a cuidarlo con más afán, investigando por internet las causas del deterioro, así que cambié de sitio la planta en varias ocasiones para que no recibiera demasiada luz solar o demasiada sombra.
And look how beautiful the only bell pepper on the plant became, it was ripe so it was time to harvest it but I felt sorry to remove it from there.
Y miren ustedes lo hermosos que se puso el único pimiento de la planta, estaba maduro así que ya era momento de cosecharlo pero yo sentía pena de quitarlo de ahí.
But no way, I had to harvest it, the bell pepper should not remain on the plant any longer, so in order not to mistreat the plant I did not pull it out but cut the stem with a pair of scissors.
Pero ni modo, yo debía cosecharlo, el pimiento ya no debía permanecer más tiempo en la planta, así que para no maltratar la planta no lo arranqué sino que corté el tallo con unas tijeras.
When I opened it I was surprised that it had no seeds, at least they were not functional, but too small and weak to be able to plant them, but no matter, anyway I was happy to have taken care of that plant and to have obtained this result, it was worth it because at least I got a bell pepper.
Cuando lo abrí me sorprendió que no tuviera semillas, al menos no eran funcionales, sino demasiado pequeñas y débiles como para poder plantarlas, pero no importa, de cualquier modo yo estaba feliz de haber cuidado de esa planta y de haber obtenido este resultado, valió la pena porque al menos obtuve un pimiento.
At the end of the day I used it very well in a Neapolitan sauce that I prepared for some pizzas that I made for dinner. It was very satisfying to have been able to use a product that I planted, cared for and harvested myself, after that I was filled with enthusiasm and also planted other things but I will surely tell you about that in another post.
Al final del día yo lo aproveché muy bien en una salsa napolitana que preparé para unas pizzas que hice para la cena. Fue muy satisfactorio haber podido usar un producto que yo misma planté, cuidé y coseché, después de eso me llené de entusiasmo y también planté otras cosas pero de eso seguramente les hablaré en otro post.

Yes, I did use it, in fact it was the first one, it's just that I didn't use the acronym but the whole word. Thank you very much for your comment, it is true, plants are like our babies that we take care of with love and respect. 😃
