Its a problem of plenty. It always happens when the plants in your garden compete with each other and yield their branch off….
Well, this time it was capsicum. Remember my old post on Capsicums.When I planted them I was little sceptical. Not only they were in my balcony with very limited sunlight, they were also planted in a smaller container than what they actually require. Being such sweet plants they are, they were very forgiving and made me proud. What is a better way to thank them than blogging about them. Thank you buddies…

Is the hand big or the pepper small

When I plucked all these beauties and walked my way to the kitchen, my wife got so excited about the peppers and picked just one of them. And told me….
Her: “See there is Ganeshji in our pepper”.
Me: What?
Her: It is ganeshji .See carefully..
Lord Ganesh is her favorite. And that pepper is ….



It indeed looks a little like Ganesha. There is no arguing here….
What say?

Hai Bipin,
Welcome!!…I was searching for a image like the one in capsicum and the closest I could find was the golden pic. And about the capsicum ganesh? I dont know, I asked the same question this morning and NO reply. Mostly it will stay as capsicum ganesh…

Hey Fg,
Thanks for the compliments and for the motivation too
.
My fertilization schedule was really messy. I started the plants with a good dose of vermicompost and cocopeat and some loam mixed. I also added some bone meal that was lying around for a long time. Then approximately two weeks once, I water with 2-3g/litre of 19-19-19. Pretty much thats it. The plants were in my balcony and got only morning sunlight till 12.
I was actually planning to write a review report. I have mixed feelings about the training programme and wasn’t too happy about it. A post will soon come. I am more than willing to share what I learnt and will learn in future….
cheers

just was curious to know geek in “geekganderner” mean. To my surprise when searched over net it ment:
1. A person regarded as foolish, inept, or clumsy.
2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept.
I am still curious of ur URL. Could share ur thought of naming ur url..
