I see some fruits

Today is excatly 14 days since my last post about my garden, and the state of my chilli plant. You can read about my previous post here about the update on my plant 2 weeks ago. Now I will share something exciting news on the plant.

FInally I could see some fruit already on my chilli plant, it is already on the medium sized one, so maybe in around a week or so, it might already turn yellow, or maybe read which shows it is ready to be harvested.

You can see the before and after state of my plant on the photo below.

The plants already getting dense, because of how it grow, and just like I said before, they will produce more and more branches as tehy grow. nad with that being said, the chilli will grow outward make it grow wider, and since my planting space is very tight, they get dense so fast.

Something that i have already predicted, and I should take into account on my next planting season, so that spacing of each plant could be wider, so the branches from one plant to the other won't entangled, reducing the chance of breaking off, and also to keep the moisture level in the good state, so that there won't be any fungi problem could occure.

Here is the fruit, that I can spot already. It is nice to know that they pollination went well, so that they could produce the chilli fruit. I also need to add more calcium and kalium, so that the fruit can grow bigger, and taste better, and also to keep the fruit from falling off too early because of the calcium deficiency.

Here is another fruit on the plant.

This one is the close up shots of the blooming flower, I hope it could be pollinated, so that I can have more fruit.

and here is the proof of how the flower of the chilli occur, the plant will produce a flower, maybe two depends on the variety on each branching.

Once it produce the fruit, or maybe failed to be pollinated because of calsium deficiency or other factor, this branching will never produce any more flower. So we need to try to keep the plant grow more branch, in hope for more flower and more fruit.

And this is the one that I planted on the conventional potting method. it also already producing some fruit, which show that it grow as wee, as nice as the one with the fertigation system. It is so lucky because I am hoe to take care of th eplant, and we still have occasional rain which helps me water the plant and also give the plant the natural nutrients.

I move one of the plant with the fertigation system on top of my fence, so I could have more space, and also to add more cover from outside to my house.

You're well versed on how this process of bearing fruits comes about, hopefully more branches will sprout leading to more fruits and many harvests. Congrats on the two weeks progress and looking forward to the harvesting time :)

It is also a very new knowledge that I got my friend, mostly because I am not switching my job to farming so I have to learn a lot of things, especially chilli plant, which I wish to be abel to grow in the ricefield next time.

Wonderful! The chili plants are thriving well and look well-taken care of. Good job! I also have chili plants and they're bearing much fruit, until root rot began to attack them one by one. They're getting fewer and fewer because I have to uproot those affected plants. I already applied fungicide but it didn't work. I want to know how you manage to control fungi or root rot attacks. Thank you.

It's been a nice stop. Happy gardening! 💚

Root rot can be a huge problem for the chilli plant. since this chilli I grow in my garden, things are mostly under control like humidity, water level and also the soil that I use. As long as I learn, you can only prevent the rot from happening, like using Tricodherma fungi during its vegetative stage, and also don't use any unfinish compost, especially from manure, it contribute very much to the root rot problem on chilli.

Thanks so much my friend

Your chilis are looking good. And you're right. Each plant should have enough space of their own to grow.
