A yellow rocoto, sown four but just the one popped up. Will get some more variaties for next season. Hope the season lasts long enough to get some pods!

Gotta love those rocoto flowers. I've never eaten one and it's the first year I have a rocoto but I've already fallen in love.

Nice ow's! I'm trying to figure out where I'm gonna put all the plants I want to Ow. It does get below 0 here so the shed might be a gamble. Might put some in there to see what happens.

Found some more pods, finally! Ow 7pod caramel, same plant as my profile picture but that was taken at the beginning of august: Naga Morich: A rocoto flower, plant is the biggest of my peppers, loaded with flowers:

I've never seen that before... Until I looked at my ow 7pod caramel today. None of my plants ever did that.

One can never have enough space for peppers! Yeah they taste great! Tried a fresh red one and was surprised by the heat.

Finally getting some chinense pods, though they are hard to find and photograph. I always end up crowding the greenhouses, just don't have enough space.. need more greenhouses or a really big one! Naga Morich baby pods

Sorry you couldn't bring any plants, loved reading your glog!

Very strange growing season here as well. Was over 40° a couple of weeks ago and now it's been cloudy for weeks and lowest nighttime temp was 8.9°. Even my tomatoes are just starting to ripen. We defenetly need a long pleasant Fall!

Had to try some pimientos de padrón, pretty good! Last few weeks pretty bad weather, not much sun and nighttime temps low. Hopefully some more sun soon. Plants still doing good but really gonna need a long season to get everything ripe..

Just had a look at some pics from last season and by this time last year I already harvested a load of tomatoes and a few peppers. Plants where loaded with fruit. Now the chinense's are flowering and a couple just stared setting the first pods. What a difference. Hope September and October...

Another great looking and interesting cross!

The foliage is beautiful, love the purple with some green on the new growth!

Thanks Canedog, the reaper is full of flowers. Last year it did not flower so prolifically and only set a couple of pods. Have never grown any rocoto's before, never tasted one either. Love the plant though and am looking forward to tasting it's pods. If it sets fruit that is! Thanks Joe, heat...

That would be very cool!

Looking good Paul! No luck on my end isolating flowers yet, might steal your paint strainer bag idea. Goats weed looks interesting, you already got me into rocoto's might have to grow me some Goats weed next season. How do the pods taste?

Some great looking plants and pods in this thread, awesome cross!

Was crazy hot last week, this week temp is down and it's a bit more cloudy. Plants seem to like that it's cooled down a bit. Here is one of my tunnel greenhouses The chinense's are flowering, except for the 7pod Bubblegum. The rocoto is doing great, one of the bigger plants, hope I can get it...

A big stick I use to support the weight of my tomatoes fell on the yellow rocoto.. Right in the middle of the plant. Luckely only a few shoots broke, it looked far worse but it's not to bad. Thought I might as well try and clone them rather then toss them in the compost. Let's see what happens.
