Hi all HIVE friends in this community, I'm very proud that I can continue consistently to be able to share new things in my garden, something that I also just did in the last 3 months after I moved to my new house with a new size. smaller but has a yard for me to plant with plants that I can use everyday. And I have shared many parts of my garden with this community, now I will share something new again with all HIVE friends in this community.
A few weeks ago I also shared with you about my chili harvest, namely green chilies and large red chilies and today I will show off to you for the first time I harvest chili ticks or better known as devil chilies. There are many types of chilies that grow in Indonesia and all of them have their own level of spiciness, and why is this Tickle chili also known as devil chili, because this chili has a level of spiciness above the average chili in Indonesia, the taste is very spicy. sticky on the tongue and last long enough on the tongue when we use this chili when cooking.
Initially, chili ticks did not have a selling price, just in the last 2 years, the price of chili ticks or known as chili devils has soared in price, this is because in recent years spicy foods with a level above 5 or using quite a lot of chilies are very much in demand in our country, all culinary trades have their own spicy menu, since then this chili pepper or devil chili has quite a lot of fans for these spicy traders.
We planted this chili until it bears this fruit for about 3 months, and now this tick chili has a height of more than one meter. Chili ticks that are still young and white in color have a fairly low level of spiciness, if we score them on a number 1 to 10 then the value of young tick chilies that are still white will be at number 6 whereas if the tick chilies are ripe and the chili color is red then I personally think the level of spiciness is already at number 9. And if I want to use ripe tick chilies for cooking, I will remove all the seeds and wash them thoroughly so that the spicy taste is much less.
Caring for this tick chili is a little more complicated than caring for a large red chili, this is because the chili tick is very susceptible to pests, even from the more than 10 trees that we planted, some of the chili tick trees have curly or unhealthy leaves because they are eaten by pests. . If the chili leaves are curly, it is very difficult for this chili tree to bear fruit abundantly. However, all of these sad stories are very much covered by the story of my first harvest today. very beautiful especially in the harvest when waiting for dusk to come and relax from all the work. And it turns out that gardening is really very enjoyable and I never get tired of doing it. Really my dream in life has been achieved and has started, I really love and enjoy my life because of this.
Do you feel the same feeling when you harvest your own crops? A feeling that cannot be expressed in words is like falling in love for the first time. This is very beautiful, greetings from me maytom from binjai, Indonesia
