In the picture is just one of the 6 red pepper plant in our garden. They are always fruiting heavily although we are not really fond of red pepper. The neighbors would sometimes ask for some but just some so the fruits are always there in the plants to see.

There is an apple fruit there? Anyway red pepper are quite easy to grow. I think that is the only plant that I can easily grow when I was young. I tried all sorts of it from the bell pepper and to the labuyo type. Their maintenance free and they grow fast once they established themselves into their environment.

The apples are real. They were used as decoration in our living room.

Those apples were used for display in our living room. It was my wife's crazy idea. When the apples are overripe, they are thrown. I used if for the props in the picture.

@Alexandoy Those apples will create good compost, for your garden soil.

@Alexandoy, is it called "Siling Labuyo ?", what is that near in the pepper is it tomatoes? Good for the boiled fish dish with a hot taste.

Not exactly that. I grow the peppers for my delight but since we are not fond of spicy and hot food so I give away the fruits to our neighbors.

Grass makes the soil fertile. If you remove the grass and plant something there for sure it will grow fast.
