Cameron,
There is a new small Mexican grocery near me on
Saratoga Ave. (forget the name). They were out
yesterday (he may not carry them anymore - high
perishability and low sales) so I drove to the
eastside of San Jose to Tropicana, a big full service
Mexican grocery, on Story and King Rds.  They say they
have year-round availability.

I didn't ask who the grower or distributor is, but
would be happy to do so.  BTW they were only 5.99 at
Tropicana, all yellow. I'll ask the produce mgr. since
going back today for epazote, and for the nearby chile
plant sale by the Santa Clara County Master Gardeners
at the San Jose Mercury-Newspaper parking lot.  (I'll
post info on that in another message.......)
