Welcome to thechileman's 2008 Jalapeño Invitation.
Between the 1st of January and the 31st August we invite you to grow a jalapeño plant. We don't care which variety of jalapeño you choose, just grow the longest pod. Full rules here. Details of prizes to be announced soon...
To enter the competition you need to register with thechileman site or (if you are already registered) login to add yourself to the leaderboard below. You can then update your jalapeño's length as it grows. Good luck!
