It is never the same when it comes to quantity as earlier we used to get a lot. But this year we got a good price.
When birds come in flocks and attack the pepper vines we know it is time to harvest it. There is a process involved but happy we could sell it

So you have a pepper farm? That is the black pepper I assume.

Not exactly a farm We have trained the vines on our areca and coconut trees.

@allknowing a farm was on my mind because of what I understand that you are selling your harvest so that means you have a lot of pepper vines.

@allknowing Those are good to eat, even if you do not sell them, it's great to have them for your personal use.

Oh! Good to know that you have pepper also in your garden. Spices are good cash crops and fetch good prices. Out of curiosity, who are your buyers??

@arunima25 Sometimes there are no takers and then it is quite disturbing.

You can see it in the photo It is separated and then dried in the sun. It gets a black colour

Supply and demand determines price, it's good you got a good price. Birds and aphids were our problems when we use to plant chili pepper

Birds do mess up everything but we have designed our garden with birds in mind (lol)

@allknowing birds in nature were designed to spread the seeds that's why their brains have no receptor for capsaicin, it's fascinating how they are unaffected by pepper hotness acid similar to pepper spray.

It grows on vines and is harvested when we see a couple or two turning red.
