Hive fellow hivers and backyard gardener, this is natz04 and welcome to my blog. Because today I want share the update of my red bell pepper spice plant.

Actually this weekend we spent our vacation on the province for family reunion. Which is no one left in the house except my plants, which we just leave it alone and no one cares for it. I had really no idea that this will be happened.

A day before we leave, my wife and I check our little red bell pepper infront of our house. And she count its big fruit hiding on the leaves, she counted it twelve big fruits.

When we going back home and this Monday morning, we visited again my red bell pepper inorder to checked it. Which we've got shocked and disappointed because their was something missing and stolen. And when my wife counted again the big fruit, it was already ten so lacking two, so where was that two fruit?

An itchy hand had stole and get my red bell pepper, it was stolen by a thief. They maybe attracted to the fruits of my red bell pepper because they harvested it first, without my permission. I don't know if who do this because we have no cameras on the house. Maybe a bystanders or just a neighbor that passes through with no red bell pepper ingredients on their menu and saw my little spice plant fruit. I've just wonder that my little spice plant get sulking or worst may die.

So what we've done, my wife decided it to transfer to other places which a safe place is put it inside our house. So, I'd lift it immediately.

I'll put it on the corner portion inside our house for the purpose of not to happen it again. Because I want it to be ripe when I'd harvested it and also to avoid it from being disturb.

Although it was not hit by direct sunlight but I want it to be safe until I've harvested it.

Aw this is sad news indeed. It is hard to travel and have no one to take care of the garden. That is why I always travel alone and my partner stays to take care of the pets and the plants. Or when he travels I do it. Hopefully in the future you can find a friendly neighbor who is happy to help, or possibly for a trade can take care of the garden when you are away.

It is really hard to have someones friendly neughbor. There was really a saying "when the cat is not around the mice will really play". The same with my situation, no one is not around our house and they take advantage. They get my pepper but its just okay as long as they consumed for their own consumption and not for selling.
