Planting sweet peppers in pots now to see how this new insect-repelling technique works for me

Happy day to everyone! Thank you for sharing a new post here in the #hivegarden community. I'm sharing some great photos I took a few hours ago when I was at my grandmother's house. I saw that one of the sweet pepper plants was starting to flower, so I thought it was the perfect time to try a different method. Instead of planting it directly in the ground, I'd find a pot (or something similar) where it could grow without problems and avoid insects eating it.

It was a bit of a hassle finding the right pot, but I finally did, although it was just one (I need to find some other containers that can do the job). Luckily, I already had some potting soil to fill it to the surface. Then I made a hole, trying to make it right in the center, and carefully removed the sweet pepper plant from the plastic cup and placed it in the pot. I then adjusted it a bit with my hands before finally filling it with soil.

After that, it was just a matter of watering it a little so it could take root as quickly as possible, and that way, its flowers would turn into chili peppers in no time.

I had it there where I keep the other plants I brought with me—there were three of them, and since I don't have any more pots (I need to find two more), I left those where I have some tomato plants, which I also need to plant. So the sweet pepper plants will be there waiting for the right time to be planted in pots.

Now I have another problem: we don't have a suitable place at home to keep them. I've had to find a temporary spot while I try to create an ideal environment for them to grow properly. I hope to see the first harvests of both the sweet pepper and tomato plants soon, and growing them here at home is the best option. I'll also share all of this here in the #hivegarden community, where gardening enthusiasts like myself can share photos of what we're doing to grow our own food, especially for preparing meals.
