Chili Pepper

It is great to see the first fruits in my garden. I had disastrous season with pumpkins. Pumpkins plants were destroyed by bugs. Within days the whole pumpkin plant died. The chili pepper plants earlier flowered but did not produce any fruits as were not getting enough sun shine. The sun rays were blocked by pumpkin vines. The death of pumpkin plants allowed more sun rays to reach the chili pepper plants and we have wonderful chili peppers :)

A couple of lettuce plants died. They can't handle too much of wind or burst of rain. They needed to be supported.
