Welcome back. I ordered 18 plants from www.chilepants.com . Plus a few more from Family Tree. Only go there during the week. So far the cat we adopted last year is keeping the long eared rats out of the garden so no plants are eaten down to a nub. Like all of them were last spring. Things are looking up here south of KCK and I may have some chiles to spare. Maybe we can set up a trade. Good luck with the chiles you do have.
