Thank you. That is very kind of you to offer Matt but I do have a few seeds
left as well as one fairly nice plant with "A" bud and 3 plants that are
floundering. All are in the shade, but they are having a hard time with
the heat & humidity. I am very seriously considering bringing them inside
for the comfort of air conditioning.
Thanks again
Beth in Texas

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.
