And since human beings are very creative, I managed to design in a very original and economical way the perfect place to carry out planting. In my case, as I had cement blocks that were left over from a construction, I used them to create a kind of fencing, which I filled with black soil, compost and rotten wood, ideal for planting.
- I went to the market to buy chilli and I chose the largest and most beautiful to collect the best seed.
- Then I put the seeds in the sun for about 10 days to dry them and remove the moisture.
- Then I planted them in plastic containers and waited for them to germinate, to later transplant them.
- With a small atomizer i water the crop once a week to moisten the earth a little.
- After they germinated and 5 weeks passed, I began the process of transplanting the beautiful plants. Observe all the space that I am taking advantage of when building this space to plant my chili plants.

Depending on the type of chili, as soon as they are the right size between 6 and 8 centimeters, have an intense green color or start to turn orange, you can pick up them and use them to flavor our meals. We should try to avoid leaving them for a long time in the bush to prevent them from rotting.
- I recommend you not to tear the chilis, the ideal thing is to use a scissors to cultivate with care and in this way we avoid hurting the branches and the stem.
