A touch of green in my rooftop garden: The joy of growing chillies.
There is no substitute for gardening to find some peace in the midst of a busy urban life. For me, gardening is not just a hobby, it is a way to connect with nature. Today, I am sharing with you the current pride of my rooftop garden, the fresh and green chilli plant.
As you can see in the picture, the plant is blooming with beautiful white flowers. These small white flowers of the chilli plant are as beautiful to look at as they are to bear a message of abundant harvest. When small green chillies peek out from the center of each flower, that sight is the greatest achievement for a gardener. My plants are now bearing chillies quite well. The feeling of being completely fresh, poison-free and growing it by one's own hands is incomparable.
The chilli plant does not take up much space, so it is perfect for a rooftop garden or balcony. I have noticed that getting enough sunlight is very important for the chilli plant. If the plant gets at least 5-6 hours of sunlight a day, both the growth and yield of the plant are good. I take very simple care:
- Soil: I used a mixture of organic fertilizer and loamy soil.
- Water: I water regularly, but make sure that the roots do not get waterlogged.
- Care: Sometimes I use kheil pocha water as fertilizer, which helps nourish the plant.
When you cook your afternoon snack or lunch with peppers from your own garden, you get a strange satisfaction along with the taste. Those who are thinking of starting a garden but cannot start, can start with at least one pepper plant. Believe me, when you see the first pepper growing on the top of the tree, all your hard work will seem worthwhile.
