Oh nice!

I am very interested in the Heritage's taste. Please let us know how it goes. It's one I wanted to grow this year, but I never got around to snagging seed.

Are you growing the "6-4" or the "Big Jim" line of Heritage peppers?

I checked with husband & he said this year will be the first time for the '6-4'Heritage green chili (supposed to have more of the old original NM green chili flavor & not so hot). He grew the Big Jim Heritage last year & will again this year. That Heritage seed is kinda $$ as was the Bhut from NMSU in Las Cruces, NM but had great germination. 'Big Jim', btw, was named after Jim Nakamora (?sp.) x NMSU who developed so many of the chili varieties now planted.

You're in zone 7b? We are in zone 7 here ... on the maps Albuquerque is in that 'finger' zone that goes north up the Rio Grande Valley & are protected weather-wise by the mountains on the City's eastside. We are in the northeast heights area of the City at 5280 ft. elevation but have no problem growing most anything in the garden here IF we can escape those darn late Spring frosts that can occur unexpectedly in a single night!

hahaha, and here I thought gardening was tough at 4400ft or so.
