Hello @riverflows !! I always have a hard time when it comes to choosing something.
If I has to day which is my favourite plant to grow, I'd go for chillies. They are kinda easy to grow and you can't imagine how much taste it gives to the food. Here in Venezuela we have "sweet chilli" which is just the same as regular spicy chillies but without the spicy haha. Furthermore, when grown is good soil they thrive wonderfully and you'll never be without it.
This picture is from last year's crop, I has like 6 plants in that space and they gave me lots of chillies!! It was really cool. I haven't been able to sow like again because I lack of time but soon I'll be doing it again!!
Of course choosing sweet chillies doesn't mean I'd not choose other plants!! I love to grow flowers and succulents!! Once I wasn't aware of the power of the flowering plants, but they are awesome allies in vegetable gardens AND they illuminate and color the place! Seeing the bugs and butterflies around the garden is just an spectacle worth of having in your garden or yard!
Here I had some cosmos, zinnias and marigolds! I think It was the time that I liked the most how my garden looked.
And succulents.... OMG I just love them!! I love to see them grow, I love how their tiny leaves peep out, how they look when a new plant is being born from another leave, it's just amazing!! how different they are from each other yet they are beautiful!
Here are most of mine!!
That's all can say, so as not to extend myself too much. This kind of activities are really cool!! Thanks for opening a space to participate in a different way than usual!
You and my brother both @fanyokami! I remember him eat mouthfuls of chilli before he could even walk! Now @craigcryptoking grows every variety of chilli imaginable even if he neglects all other veggies in the garden! I wouldn't be surprised to see a chilli floating on his dessert.....
OOPS! I think you meant to reply to @fanyokami. I can't eat chilis much....
Oops indeed! Thanks for the correction @goldenoakfarm! I'm a little relieved to see that you don't have that chilli obsession!
That's cool!! I have only got to grow like 4 kinds of sweet chillie here and just 1 variety was successful, but well, this soil is not the best!!! I hope your brother don't get lost in was of his chillies plantations!! haha
