I'm wondering what would be the best variety of chile for roasted green
chile rellenos, for growing in a relatively cool climate (Oregon). The
Anaheims common in the supermarkets are too mild. I tried growing poblanos,
but they don't do so well up here. Looking at New Mexican types - Barker's
Hot sounds maybe good, also maybe Sandia. Chimayo is supposed to grow well
in cooler climates, but is thin skinned and more for dried red chile. I
won't even try Big Jim - it seems the bigger the chile the less hardy the
plant. But the De Agua from Oaxaca - that has smaller chiles supposed to be
good for rellenos.... could be the ticket?
Any suggestions? Anyone done a grow-out?
