Agriculture in Our village🍀 Episode 3 : My Grandmother's Grandfather's Chili Plantation



                       My grandmother and grandfather were very talented farmers. They have been engaged in farming since their youth. Most of them are commercially grown crops. Now they are old but still farming. 

                    At the present they have a very fertile chili plantation. First, put the chili seeds  nursery. When the seedlings are some big, they are planted in the prepared ground. Then put fertilize and water very well. After a some days the weeds start to grow in this area.  Depending on their age, the difficulty of weed escape is arise.  Then my younger brother and I were help them. 

                     After about a month, the chilies being to flowers. There are very small flowers. There are white color flowers. 


             Then the small chili pods begin to grow. Once grown, they are harvested for sale. Slightly, ripe chili pods are harvested for food. A portion of the chili pods is set aside to prepare the seeds required for replacing.
