Hi Beau,
Just thought I'd put in my two cents.  I made what I, in retrospect, felt
was a mistake by planting numerous seeds of the same variety one year.  I
am a hobby grower as you are, however, my circle of CH friends who don't
grow chiles is quite small.  Some of the varieties I planted were QUITE
productive.  I burned up two dehydrators, used up a box of Mason jars, gave
away as many and as much as I could, and still today, four years later,
have an embarrassment of Chile Riches in the pantry. (Not that that is a
bad thing;-)).  The upshot is this,  I have curtailed the number of plants
I grow and keep to varieties I really love i.e Habaneros, NuMex Big Jims,
Fresnos, UVC (unidentified Vietnamese chiles), Serranos, Aji's ......OK OK,
I rotate varieties.

Glad you found the list, Beau.  Welcome aboard!

Doug
