Q:  Dave,

I am going to grow green chile and sell it. I live in the NW so I need to grow them in greenhouses. I want to grow the green chile I grew up eating. I am from Tularosa, New Mexico. What specific resources do you recommend to find those precise seeds? I need to train my self on growing the plant in a greenhouse, and create a market and business plan. I own 10 acres and plan to have a fruit stand with other products, however I will have a production of chile to sell to local business.

A:  Hello Whoever You Are:

This is not a good idea.  New Mexico chiles do not grow well in containers and their production is limited.  I would re-think this idea if I were you.
