One day while weeding my garden, I saw 2 seedlings growing in the ground in between 2 pots. The leaves look like chili plants. If they are chili plants, then the birds must have brought them into my garden. I transferred these 2 plants into pots.
I was waiting to see if they are really chili plants. They took a long time to flower and fruit.
After they had grown to more than 3 feet plus, only then tiny flowers started to appear.
Actually, unknown to me, there was already a big chili (first fruit) on one of the plants which was blocked from my view by some leaves. I only saw it when I was doing some weeding near it and happened to look up in its direction.
Other chilies started to appear on the plants.
After seeing all these chilies, I am glad I didn't treat the seedlings as weed.
The 2 chili plants were full of chilies and I have to give most of them away to friends who came to visit me.
We kept back some for our own consumption.
These were harvested when the chilies were starting to ripen. When they are ripe, the colour changed from light green to deep orange. I hope the plants will not be badly affected by the excess water during this rainy season.

Lord, you know the hopes of humble people.
Surely you will hear their cries
and comfort their hearts by helping them.
