Today, one of my pepper plants that I almost gave up on has almost 20 pepper fruits. It gave me the inspiration to make akara (bean balls or is it bean cakes?😂 whichever it's so delicious!).
Why? I noticed sometimes ago that my garden peppers especially goes very well with beans. You see I am suspicious of beans sold in the market - it usually gives me heartburn after eating maybe due to the chemicals used in growing and/or preserving the beans. But I cannot grow considerable amount of beans now in my little garden.
But I noticed that if I prepare the meal with my garden peppers, the heartburn is not much or non-existent.
But that is not the even the icing on the cake - the real deal is the remarkable taste- spiciness combined with healthy goodness of my garden peppers which makes any bean meal I cook more palatable and of course healthier for me.
So if you notice any plant dying in your garden, don't just give it up, do some investigation to find out what may have happened to it - like this pepper plant withered because I was manuring it with fresh onion peels and fresh ginger peels.
When I realised and stopped and use dried food wastes and soya bean chaff, the almost-dead pepper plant bounced back to life and not long after started fruiting.
Then you know what? The peppers are so very nicely spicy because it no doubt has a whole lot of onion goodness In it.
For someone as busy as I am, making akara on a Monday morning is a real deal - but I was motivated by the spiciness of the returned-to-life pepper plant fruits - see me enjoying my akara- seems it even stimulated my brain when I put on the computer to read and write my findings for onward practical to be conducted.
Actually I have been feeling very tired because during the weekend I needed to work with the shovel again to do some gardening work.
So I was so tired this Monday morning but after akara(bean balls) breakfast my brain seemed to become revitalised.
I really need my brain cells very active - I am still researching on the use of agricultural raw materials to beautify the body - lotion, soap, powder - commercialisation of these products still coming.
If not that I have clocked 50 years,, I would have started applying for modelling jobs as my body is feeling so revitalised by using this agricultural raw materials for beauty therapy.
Sometimes simple solutions bring about remarkable results....
