But I do have my Chiles growing. The Pimento de Padron Chiles have done very well. I started them indoors. Then waited and waited to plant them out. I am now picking them. They are not hot when small but when bigger do pack some heat, maybe a little hotter than a Serrano Chile.
I find them quite good. I have eaten them raw and roasted. I find that I like them better roasted.
The plants are tall maybe 3' quite tender and the fruit picks easy, leaving the stem on the fruit. Here is a couple photos.

Looks like you found the seed. Those look very tasty. I grow a frying pepper too and also like that way of eating peppers.
Thanks for posting the pictures of a pimientos de Padron plant. My wife is from a town called Noia about 10 - 12 miles from Padron and when we are over in Galicia I eat them all the time. This year however I have decided to grow them at home in northern England and it is hard to know how they are doing with nothing to compare them with. I planted my seeds indoors on 1st April and put them out last month in pots. I am now getting the first flowers, and just hope that our summer is good enough to get a descent harvest. If I had found your blog earlier I would have planted a lot sooner.
