One photo every day: Cataloguing the plants #7, New chilies (243/365)

in onephotoeveryday •  7 years ago  (edited)

Hi!

A couple of weeks ago I bought some new chilies to replace the one that had died some time back...

New chilies
6 new chili seedlings with no names

I have no idea what chilies I had bought. I was stupid enough to throw the label in the bin before writing down the names of the plants.

I'm hoping these will survive though. It'd be kind of sad if they too suffered the faith of the previous chilies. I miss my Habanero bush. It was a bad-ass super plant like the Sansevieria I blogged about earlier.

Anyway, today was sleepy. I messed up my sleeping schedule yet again last night. Couldn't get much done today either. Ok, I took the boys to their school winter carnival, and picked them up at noon. Went shopping for birthday gifts and cards plus some tortillas, meat and other fillings. Then prepared burritos with Vera, and after eating took Miro to his classmate's birthday party (again, they seem to have weekly birthday parties). Then I went to Kärkkäinen to browse photography stuff and wait for the birthday party to end, and eventually met with @MarkkuJantunen over coffee at as he was sent to the hardware store by his wife.

Miro was very happy all day and I'm glad. He was also very loud when I picked him up from the birthday party, very very loud, and he actually didn't stop speaking before we got home, and still he went on about his major plans, until he noticed Leo was practicing the Star Wars theme on the synthesizer. Only then he stopped and tried to shove Leo away from the instrument so that he'd be able to play.

Battle ensued...

Gladly I got them quiet after a while, by playing them some piano music and marble machine videos from Youtube.

Later I read them some Goblet of Fire and bid them good night.

Okay that was my day today. :) And my photo. I didn't take other photos today as I was "soo busy".


Earlier in "Cataloguing the plants":

  1. Miro's Cactus
  2. Leo's Echinocactus grusonii
  3. Leo's Senecio serpens
  4. Crassula

@gamer00,
Seriously you like to eat Chills? I thought all Europeans hates to eat them! But we love that most and having different type of plants in my garden as well!

Cheers~

LOL
i Seen you had a busy day
:P

btw, hopefully these chilies have a better luck
;)

Wow!! You were really busy @gamer00.

I am not yet married, so I don't have children, but I like the tips you are giving on how to spend time with children.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Woa, I'm like one of the worst fathers, don't take advice from me if you don't want to end up with kids who fight all the time and constantly forget their homeworks. ;D

Hahahahahaha. OK @gamer00.

At least you spend time with them, that I like, there are father's who don't spend time with their kids, which is not good.

Hmm, yes it may not be good idea not to spend time with your kids. But in this recent age, most fathers are occupied with work and worst still if he works in a different town/state.

Yeah you are correct @turpsy, but there is always some form of side-effect on the kids if their parents don't spend time with them when they are growing up.

Some studies have shown that teenage pregnancy was as a result of neglect from their fathers.

I think it would be impossible to be a perfect parent. There is always going to be something that you should have done differently as a parent. But yes, spending time with kids is essential.

You are correct @dromzz. The only thing a good parent can do is to try their best for their kids, because they cannot be perfect.

Well, at least your kids haven't been taken into custody so you have got that going for you...

On first glance, I thought these were chocolate cake pieces. Good photo. Seems very hectic when your sleep timing changes. I hope it gets back to normal. Good luck.

Seems Vera was right... :) People do tend to think of them as pastries... I didn't think it'd been the case.

Woow, awesome stuff. whats the hottest chillies have you ever tried so far :D, btw do you enjoy spicy food too?

The Habaneros would be the hottest I'd say, never had a chance (or stomach) to try hotter ones. ;)

But yes I do generally like spicy food, be it Mexican, Indian, Japanese or just about from anywhere in the world. And my boys seem to be chili heads too. My fault really, I once bought these garlic chili cashew nuts and Leo was sold. He now loves all sorts of hot food. Miro is less so, but spicy snacks are something he also craves.

I'm surprised to hear about your chillies story :o :D (since most of my Finnish friends doesnt enjoy chillies that much) but one of my colleague love hot chillies , oneday he took me to a restaurant called #Siipiravintola where we tried extreme hottest in their menu(#Tsernobyl) chicken wings, man trust me, I was almost dead for couple of hours ahah , keep updating the growth of those chillies in your future posts if possible (and now I know one more Finnish friend who loves chillies too :D) xx

If you ever been to Turku, I would highly recommend you to give a visit to that ravintola ;)

Tchernobyl chicken wings? Oh no, I better not get a nuclear meltdown. ;)

But I might try that restaurant, thanks for the tip.

Ole Hyvaa, but I could see that you're bit excited to try it out though ;) (I might be wrong ahah). hyva yota , moro moro xx

Hyvää yötä! :)

I swear, I thought there are cupcakes lol!
But there are actually newborn chillies, well... I guess it works too! :d
Yep, keep being a great dad. I admire you for that.

Vera was betting on someone thinking they were pastries. :D

Thanks, but I doubt the dad of the year title this year for various reasons concerning their homework and other stuff at school I should be paying attention to, but can't seem to get in focus. Feel like the worst dad right now.

Yep, and you got me, I was already imagining me trying to eat them :D
Well... I didn't have a dad at all, so you're fine heh.

the thumbnail i thought they were brownies. lol
i love chili plants, im a bit supprised you can grow there where your at. i have had no luck growing peppers here in washington.

Indoor maybe?

Yea, in Winter we need to grow them indoors. In Summer I can put them on the balcony depending on the amount of light they need.

do apple trees grow well there? i got a bonsi apple tree i leave outdoors year round here and it loves the snow.
When i get back to vegas ima b growing all kinds of peppers again, got some ghost pepper seeds saved even.
:D

Apples are not native to Finland, so they don't grow from seeds, but grafted onto a more cold hardy tree root they will survive and fruit.

When we get that piece of land we want, I'll plant a few apple trees I guess. :)

they hold up in the cold here amazingling. they take like 3 years before they start to produce and depending on they type of apple you might need more then one tree, some types need other trees to polinate to produce apples and some others dont.
What are the native plants from your area?

Mainly berries; bilberries, lingonberries, cloudberries, wild strawberriees, wild raspberries, blackberries, cranberries, all sorts of other berries... :)

We got alot of that stuff too here, blackberries, blue berries, raspberries, ect. apple trees might do really well there, sounds alot like the weather here.

More plants, can you smoke chillies or make special cookies from them, so you feel really well later?
Mhm, probably it's the different sort of plant.

That's one busy family day. Seems like you spend a lot of time with your kids. That's good parenting. What are their ages? You should do a post about them.

Miro is 7, and Leo is 11.

In a matter of fact I've made a few posts about them in the past. I'm sure I will write about them in the future too. :) If you browse through the Week in pictures posts you might be able to catch a glance of my boys.

Filled day you had there. So your chillies, do you mind i suggest names for them?

So your chillies, do you mind i suggest names for them?

Haha! Go ahead! :)

LOLx. I also like chillies 🌶 and I use it mostly in lunch time. Your every posts are very interesting to read. Keep it on and entertain your readers.
Peace

Thank you I appreciate your words. :)

Your welcome dear 👍🏻

They will probably be growing back again in no time!

There is something renewing about seeing seeds sprout.

Is Markku your brother?

No, I'm not. I think either of us would've mentioned that if it were the case.

A friend. This is my brother:

It's really your brother? He's got a nice voice.
I wish I could sing like that, maybe someone would notice me then :(

Your brother is handsome.

Which color have your chilis? I prefer the yellow one..it looks seeds growing well - good quality.

I think these were both red and yellow chilies...

I asked for photography tips at the cafeteria and got them. Thanks.

At first glance they look like chocolate desserts Hahaha-I hope not to offend anyone with this comment-I do not like spicy foods and I've never liked them-and it's weird because my family likes it

It looks like a cake 😂
Great happy birthday to Miro classmate

Thank you for sharing your story about your two boys!! This gives a very warm feeling in my heart as I have no connection with my long lost family.
I do hope you’ll get your sleep in good shape soon!

Oh yeah... Fatherly duties yet again. I wish to be a father someday - not just anyone but a good one. Family is golden, you have create time for them. Most people don't spend time with their family all in the name of business and money but I've come to realize, they don't really make sense without the family.

Whew, looking at the comments I see I'm not the only one who thought those looked like chocolate rolls.

I feel you when it comes to the sleeping schedule. I haven't had one in years.

As for the chilies, do you prefer spicy or sweet? I'm a fan of spicy myself.

this comment will be downvoted by bots

Yea it seems my wife really hit the nail on the head Yesterday when she told me people will probably mistake the propagators into pastries as I've been photographing quite a lot of pastries in the past.

I really need to fix my sleep schedule because it'll probably be the death of me if I don't. I suggest if you have problems with it, try fixing it as well. It's not fun getting sick almost twice a month just because of weakened immune system and all.

I prefer spicy chilies, although sweet bell peppers have their place too. :)

this comment will be downvoted by bots

Here? They can try. However I have a strict policy against bots on my blog.

I'm new to your blog so I didn't even have a bias for thinking they were pastries, probably just my inner fat person coming out.

Its been so long I don't get physically sick from the lack of sleep patterns anymore. Though I do believe it may be partially responsible for certain bouts of depression. I often use ASMR to lull myself to sleep when the need arises, have you ever gave it a listen?

I too prefer spicy chilies, and food as a whole, but you are right, some food just needs those sweet peppers.

And the bots listen? How do you manage that?

throw the label in the bin before writing down the names of the plants.

One thing you can do is to identify them. I believe there is University in your municipality. Take the leave to the Univeristy, and asked for the herbarium. Mostly found in the Department of botany or plant science depending on different school. They will identify the plant for you and catalogue it with an identification number if its an uncatalogued species.

I was laughing hard when reading from

Miro was...

I was almost thinking you will write that his over activeness might be due to some "drink responsibility" :-Just kidding.

Any way its always fun to have active boys. You will always have to settle fight.

haha I was watching marble machine that guy is sick of talented I did not know him and I almost forgot to comment, what a busy day you got but your boys sound like great kids, cool day anyway.

Hello Friend. I tell you my mother-in-law lives in an area of Venezuela that sows chile, my sister-in-law @yurilaya, came to visit our home, and my mother-in-law sent us her harvest, I send you some photographs that I took to show you, and I leave the link of my sister-in-law who made a publication of that.

I tried to read the post through twice but I did not notice if you had mentioned what chili's you have now?

Habaneros are really demanding to be grown, they require a lot of light and die off easily. Same with a multitude of c.chinenses.

It's a shame though they are usually only really hot ones, but I'm growing some quite hot easy chili's which seem to survive overwinter :) My own favorite one is called Malawi Bird's Eye, it's a bit milder than a habanero but the best ones are really spicy. Easy to grow and not too demanding.

First time see this type chillies .
Interesting pic jaro

and here you come up with another awesome post, the idea you get for these photos you are posting everyday is something new here in this community. this is about chilies, i like them to be eaten but unfortunately i am facing stomach problems from a longer time so doctors have told me not to use them. though i like that chilies you have..

doctors have told me not to use them

That's just awful. I remember when I had some bad heartburn from drinking too much coffee, I was also told not to eat spicy food, or chocolate, or to drink coffee. It was like a death sentence to me.

i am adding more to it. the problem with my stomach is worst cause it is suffering from about 6-7 years, has done many courses of treatment for it but all gone in vain. now i am coming up with something bigger for it, if it still persists i won't do a bit for it then

Looks like as a chocolate sponge rolls pieces. Too hot & spicy chilies. Xoxo great parenting @gamer00

@gamer00 Very interesting the provision of the seedbed for your chillies, hopefully soon germinate and give healthy plants. A bear hug

it look amazing

It’s looks similar chocolate cake... but it’s the new one....looks so delicious.....let’s celebrate..... thanks for sharing
