What to do after harvesting capsicum (shimla mirch) from the garden?

March 11, 2021 By admin Leave a Comment

I am growing red bell pepper or red capsicum along with many other vegetables in my rooftop garden. Though it is basically a winter vegetable. But my plants did not perform well in the winter season due to severe attack of harmful insects. But now those plants are producing enough fruits when summer is knocking the door. So I am trying to save those from the heat of upcoming summer season. Recently I harvested more than half a dozen of capsicums from the rooftop garden and some more are on the plants. Now what to do after harvesting capsicum (shimla mirch) from the garden? Seriously what to do?

When I sowed seeds of bell pepper, at that time, I did not know that these plants can live more than a year and produce fruits even during summer season. But now I need to keep those plants under shade during summer days. I recently came to know that I can get plenty of bell peppers throughout the year if I take proper care of my plants.

Harvesting shimla mirch

So when for the first time I harvested many capsicum at a time, then I decided to make  super delicious aloo capsicum (aloo shimla mirch). This is the most desirable thing to do just after harvesting homegrown capsicums. Did you ever try it? It is really mouthwatering.

So don’t raise your eyebrows because it is the most expected thing to do after harvesting capsicum from the garden. This dish is really tasty and easy to make. At the same time, it becomes more delicious when it is prepared with fresh homegrown capsicums.

Particularly when those vegetables are grown without using any chemical insecticide & fungicide. I just applied very little amount of chemical fertilizer and enough compost fertilizers (vermi compost/kitchen waste compost/cow dung compost). So those capsicums are not just fresh & tasty but also very healthy.
