How to care your Chilli in winter.




Don't neglect your plant just because it is in the middle of winter.
Trim it back, keep the soil well fertilised and put the pot in a good sunny spot and there will be good results.

I have seen an abundance of flowers in the chilli pot this winter.
I won't see any fruits until spring arrives in September. Judging by the amount of flowers I have seeing now, a good harvest is expected throughout spring and summer.

Canning Chilli

The process of canning my harvested chilli is easy.
Required materials and ingredients include:

1 x glass jar
Several gloves of garlic
1 x large of chilli
Half cup of vinegar

Pour garlic, chilli, vinegar in a blender and blend them into liquid.
Pour contents into a glass jar and store it in the fridge.

I normally use the chilli paste for cooking.





How to avoid mushroom attack



Wet weather is causing mushrooms growing wildly in my garden pots.
Remove mushrooms from your pots and stop watering immediately, let the soil lose some moisture over a few days.

I did just that and I don't see mushrooms growing in my pots anymore.
