And since chile is widely available here roasted for $30 a bushel, I use my growing space for other vegetables that aren't available. Good luck in whatever you choose.

I wasn't aware of the Burrell seed company. I noticed they are in Rocky Ford which in my mind used to produce the worlds best cantaloupes along with the Pecos cantaloupes from the Pecos river valley. When I was a kid, I drove a truck every harvest season to Rocky Ford for a loads of cantaloupes and over to Grand ★★★★★★★★ for loads of Orchard fruit. In Rocky Ford, I always bought cantaloupes from a Japanese family who consistently produced great cantaloupes. I often wonder if those areas still produce great product. I suspect most of the land has now been converted to housing developments.
