Went to Home Depot this P. M. and noted the Burpee rack had Chiltepin seeds
among their "Heirloom Seeds" collection.  I did not get any, this go-round.
 I have to look among digests to find the sprouting directions and decide
whether the effort required will be worth picking some up.  At 38 30' N, we
do not exactly have the best weather for C. annuum aviculare.

I know Chiltepins as seeds and plants have been available from mail order,
but this must be a first.  But a branded producer placing Chiltepin seeds
at a mass-marketer?  I guess it means the gospel of El Grande is spreading
out like a mighty wave.  Praise be to El Grande!
