Frank and Beth --

I have seeds that I saved from some manzano chiles that I purchased
here in Atlanta about a year and a half ago.  They germinated for me
last year and this year, but the plants are typically a disappointment.
 Had I known that there was now an import ban, I would have grown more
this year.

At any rate, I don't have chiles, but I have seeds if you're
interested.  Please send me your snail mail address off-list if you
would like seeds.

Matt
