I know there are more experienced guys and gals here,
so please correct me, but my exposure to thick-walled
chiles teaches me that they grow best in the climate
of New Mexico.  A local farmer in Gilroy thought he
was cool in introducing Big Jims into his repertoire. 
They tasted average, not as good as the poblanos I can
get from Safeway.  6-4's, Sandias and Barker's and the
others he couldn't grow.  As well, I would venture a
guess that Chimayos would need that NM climate to
excel.  Otherwise they'd taste like a dried red
Anaheim molido.  In fact, is Chimayo a variety at all?
 Velarde is known for its apples Chimayo and Hatch for
its chiles.  Gilroy isn't known for them.  So i have
to buy my new mexico chiles from New Mexico.

Maybe things have changed in the last few years, but
I'd love any info on where I could get fresh
Anaheim-style chiles that taste like those grown in
NM...
