Hi!
your blog is very interesting, I’m a big fan of spices myself and have quite a few in my garden.I have a pepper plant but unfortunately i never get any pepper seeds as it remains in the flowering stage only.Do you think i have to pollinate, and if I do, then how do I go about it? Thanks

Shilpa: Jyothi, we don’t do any pollination. I am not sure how to go about it. Please check wiki.

I “thought” that I have a young nutmeg tree in my backyard, however, after having looked at the above photo I am not so sure now that is what it is. My tree is a young tree and has grown approximately 2ft. this summer. It stands about 4ft. high. It yeilds a semi round green (what I thought was a nutmeg) after it has bloomed a lovely red cluster of small flowers. The leaf almost appears to be that of a fern. Would you have any suggestion as to what this tree may be?
