pepper plantation

 
 
thes are the peper plants. they grow like a vine up the pole.
 
 
this is how the pepper grows. they start off as little beads
and then get bigger till they are red and then the workers pick off the red ones
and the green ones stay on the stem. they pick off the stem and let it dry on the stem.
and once it is dried it turns black.

 
 
this is a picture of the rows of pepper plants.

 
 
this is how the pepper grows on the plant.

 
this is how the green pepper is dried and turns black.

 
this is the owner telling us about how the pepper dries.

 
this is the morning pick. they pick every morning so the pepper will keep growing.
