Hatch Chile in Pueblo Territory

In case you are in Colorado and looking for some great roasted Hatch green chile this Labor Day weekend, Summerland Gardens will be roasting up a storm. They have mild, medium, hot, and extra hot available, as well as their local Pueblo chile too!

We think that New Mexico chile is really special, and they are providing a great opportunity for people to enjoy both Pueblo and Hatch chile. The cultivars are different, with most New Mexico chile being derived from Numex no9, while Pueblo chile is a mirasol variety, more closely related to the guajillo pepper. We have more information about New Mexico chile vatieties as well as different Mexican chile as well! NM chile has a lot more varieties than Colorado, but there are also different varieties in Pueblo too.

Cats, plants, and chile

If you like cats, Summerland Gardens also has an adorable resident kitty named Marley! They support animals in need by fundraising to build an animal shelter in Teller County. Although it isn’t a local cause for us, it is definitely something that makes the world a better place! Good causes like that should be supported.
