I tend to abhor artificial limitations. It takes away from the carefree atmosphere of what was billed as a "first come, first served" event. There were plenty of chiles left on the plants on Sunday. If future plantings can be tailored more to what the pod-pickers want, that seems like the logical solution. Why institute maximum harvest amounts that couldn't be realistically enforced? FYI: Dimensions of The Field (as per The Landlord) 4 rows x 750 feet per row = 3000 feet of chiles -OR- 4 rows x 1000 plants per row = 4000 individual plants Scott... 470 miles from a little patch of heaven...
