The only consolation is that they're not yet fruiting but I'm sure it won't be long before they're laden and I'll be eating humble pie whilst they dine on tapas.

The Great Chilli Race
Sometime ago my friend Neil and I decided to have a little friendly competition growing chillies. I duly supplied him with a couple Pimientos de Padron plants and we set to work seeing who could grow the largest, healthiest, most fruitful plant. Now it turns out that Neil has a secret weapon in the Great Chilli Race. Namely a sunlit kitchen with an Arga. So sat on a south facing windowsill and warmed all day by the Arga they've shot up, are covered in flowers and are now thoroughly dwarfing my plants.
The only consolation is that they're not yet fruiting but I'm sure it won't be long before they're laden and I'll be eating humble pie whilst they dine on tapas.
