That is a nice chile. I got the seed from a fellow vendor at the Santa Fe farmer's market whose family has grown it forever. The big operations down at Hatch, New Mexico, pretty much drove the chile farmers here out of business and this variety was nearly lost. Not that Hatch chile isn't good, but I'm glad folks are starting to grow some of the old strains again.
Also, RobinB, thank you for posting those photos. It looks like you had a wonderful crop.
The Ambrosia Gold was trialled by a number of people last year with mixed results - some great, and some off-type. I guess what we found out was that it wasn't quite stable. So I am going back and reselecting the line and we'll see what happens. In fact, I started the seeds yesterday afternoon. Anyway, thank you for the replies.
