I saw the parts of the AP article that they printed in the Abq Journal.
Thought it was kinda strange - they've had excellent crops with both more
and less rain. Besides, at least here in Albuquerque, the river is pretty
high so irrigation shouldn't be a problem. Of course, I'm not a farmer so
maybe I oughta mind my own business :^)
At any rate, my own chiles have been struggling some - we've had lots of
high winds and temps haven't been anything to write home about. About 3/4 of
the Numex types I'm growing are growing very slow :^( Don't think I'll be
having any early harvests this year.
