Chili Seedlings & Bottle Gourds

We have another 2 weeks to the Chinese New Year celebration. Somehow, I have managed to convince my lazy self to start off some of the spring cleaning. I am taking my own sweet time to do bit by bit, spacing out the work so as not to tired out myself too much.

Sunrise at 6:40am.
6:45am
This morning I harvested 2 green brinjals / aubergine / eggplants and some chilies from my garden.
A chili seedling has sprouted out from some of the seeds that I have disposed off in the flower pot.
In another pot, there are 3 more chili seedlings which look healthy.
I also harvested 2 bottle gourds from my garden. I think there are 3 to 4 small bottle gourds on the vines. I will wait for these baby gourds to grow big for harvesting before I cut down the vines.
Evening sky at 7:15pm.

Linking to Skywatch Friday.

Sing to the Lord, O kingdoms of the earth - sing praises to the Lord,
to him who rides upon the ancient heavens,
whose mighty voice thunders from the sky.
(Psalm 68:32-33, The Living Bible-TLB)

  2. Your chili plant indeed looks very healthy. I don't have much success with chili plants. The only edible plant that is still surviving is chives because they are very hardy.

    1. I too don't have success with chili plants that I intentionally grow. Only those that sprout out from the compose or sent by birds are usually successful. Yes, chives are hardy plants.

  4. My missus had a bountiful harvest of chilies, keeping them in the fridge. Perhaps she should make chili dip with them, will keep longer.

  12. Thank you Nancy. Please take good care when doing spring cleaning. Don't carry heavy pails of water to prevent hurting the back. Feels good to see your harvest. How do you know when to cut down the vines?
