I have tried repeatedly to grow NM chiles here in Atlanta, and never
with more than moderate success.  My other chiles always do very well,
but the NM chiles don't tend to produce much and the ones that I get
are not nearly as good as what I used to get in NM.  Maybe it's me,
maybe it's the climate, but I've never had much luck.
