Brothers and Sisters,
I come before you today a humble man. I have been made humble by El Grande.
In my arrogance I planted 5 chile plants in mid-July thinking that, since it
is so late in the season, I could only hope to keep them alive for next
year. Then I proceeded to abuse those same plants by sporadic watering and
unwise location (they are crowded into a single trough). I did not do these
things on purpose though.
In my arrogance I thought that it would be impossible for these little guys
to fruit. El Grande proved me wrong. His power is such that, despite my
mishandling, these guys actually have produced 3 small chiles between them.
I was so astonished at this display of El Grande's power that I fell to my
knees and cried out in a loud voice. My wife heard me and came outside.
Upon witnessing this spectacle she told me "Get up off the ground silly. I
just washed those pants!"
Oh well. I was amazed though and feel that El Grande did this to teach me a
lesson about how to treat my chile plants in the future. So I think I am in
for some serious penance. Rael, can you help me out here?
