150 Chocolate Habanero
100 Cherry Bomb - we smoke these for a great chipotle
100 Giant Cayenne
  75 Chimayo

  25 Hungarian Hot Wax
4 to 12 each: Datil, White Bullet Habanero, Arivivi

Now, I only have room in the garden for about 1100 chiles, so I will 
sell/give away quite a few plants, and a few will end up in the house in 
pots.  We make pepper powders, sauces and other fiery foods to sell at 
our Farm Market booth along with fresh chiles and plants.
