This chili farmer or gardener plants cayenne pepper and is now entering the harvest period because the fruit is already yellow and red. This cayenne pepper is about four months old.
chilies that are ripe or already red in color begin to be picked by several workers, this work is paid a wage of Rp. 100 thousand rupiah for half a day, and this work is the youth of the village.
The picked chilies will be collected in sacks, and according to one of the workers, they have managed to collect around 8 sacks of cayenne pepper.
after the cayenne pepper is collected in a sack, then the chili is weighed using the scales that have been prepared. These scales can weigh as much as 50 kg.
the workers ride motorbikes to get to the cayenne pepper plantation and their motorbikes are parked outside the chili garden.
The chili garden is located on the edge of the rice fields, the rice fields have just finished harvesting the rice so residents or residents here besides farming rice there are also gardening such as planting chilies.
this is one of the gardens that is still empty and will be prepared to plant chilies. and maybe in this week will start planting chilies.
The cayenne pepper farmer lives not far from his garden, only a few meters from his house.
To reach the garden, I have to go through a footpath and can only be passed by a motorbike, and the road conditions are very muddy because it rains in that area every day.
on my way to the chili garden I met a young man who was rowing his bicycle and I asked where the location of the chili needs.
this is the condition of the road to go to the chili garden which is full of muddy and very difficult for me to pass.
Thus my writing about the activity of visiting a farmer's cayenne pepper garden, I hope this article is useful for all of us and thanks for the support from all my friends.
