Weird things those rocotos--I container planted a couple last spring--no
fruit all summer but they're fruiting now.  Just a few, but I'd just about
given up this year.

We have a service here, Kozmo, that delivers stuff you order online (LA
area, don't know where else -- www.kozmo.com).  Took a video back and
dropped it off at a local Latino market here  and checked out the chile
section while I was there--bunches of nice, golden rocotos (manzanas) for
$2/lb.  Yow!  <grin>  Love those things!

Chow,

Riley
