Ray,

I usually pick up my plants at Sunset Gardens Nursery at 59th Ave. &
Thunderbird Rd. in Glendale.  (Usual disclaimers.) They are just south
of TBird. They usually have interesting varieties. It will be another
month or so before they get their chile plants in.

Also, last year, someone on the list talked about a wholesale grower
out at Apache Junction. I don't remember the details, but you could
search the archives for that post.

Good luck on your QUEST.
