In previous posts I dah tayang pokok cili thai and pokok cili afrika I. Hari ni nak tayang pokok cili yang we all tanam from anak pokok. A few months ago, kat dlm pasu pokok chili thai tu, we all terjumpalah a few anak pokok chili yg tgh hidup subur dlm pasu tu so we all pun transfer lah ke pasu yang lain sebab kononnya nak membiak kan banyak2 pokok chili thai kat rumah ni (padahal bukannya we all makan chili banyak sangat pun, hehehe). Eventhough we don't use fresh chillies that much in our cooking but we really love the colours that the chillies make in the pot. Kalau tengah penuh berbuah, memang lah cantik sangat2 kat 'taman' we all tu, rasa ceria aje tengok kaler merah menyala tu kan :-).


So, sekarang ni anak2 pokok chili yang we all transplant to different pots tu dah berbuah cantik. But we all heran sungguh sebab buah2 chili yang dah keluar tu sikit pun takde rupa chili thai tu. Masa mula2 dia keluar buah, memang pelik gak we all sebab lain betul rupanya. Lebih kurang macam orang pelik pandang The Little Misses and I lah bila berjalan sama2, lain betul rupa anak dengan Mummy, wahahahaha.....




Cuba you all tengok, memang lain kan bentuk dia dengan chili thai yang panjang2 tu. 'Mak' dia cantik aje panjang and slim, 'anak' dia kemetot n montok2 and bentuk 'bunga' aje pulaknya, sape lah yang tak heran kan :P. So we all ni pun fikir lah bagai nak rak macam manalah boleh dapat 'anak pokok' yang macam tu. This is what we came up with..... A few years ago, sebelum we all tanam chili thai tu, we all ada tanam chili bunga kaler purple in that same pot. But bila winter, dia mati so we all buang lah the chili plant but we didn't throw the soil as well. We reused the old soil and the same pot to plant the Thai chili. Maybe kat dalam soil tu ada a few chilli seeds yang tertinggal from the old purple chili plant. And bila the time and the condition was right to grow, bercambah lah biji2 tu. But heran jugak sebab ambil masa a few years to bercambah, boleh ke dia 'hibernate' in the soil ye? Kiranya pokok chili thai tu cuma mak angkat aje lah kat anak2 pokok ni kan, hehehehehe........

Jangan tanya how these chillies taste like sebab we all belum try lagi pun...


p/s walaupun my story ni lebih kurang sama dgn story pokok chili ni but I'm definitely the Little Misses biological Mum, hehehehe.....( kalau you tanya The Other Half, he will tell you that he saw them came out of me, uggghhhhhh.... :P)
