I recently received a most generous gift of seeds from our friend CaneDog. Thanks CaneDog! Included were some Rocoto Arequipa Giant Red seeds which I now have in my little germinator. I mean to grow some nice large pods and cook up some Rocoto relleno; this glog will document the process, the ups and downs, and will end with my ultimate success or failure in the attempt. This photo is my inspiration at the start. It looks absolutely delicious and I hope to produce something similar in the end. I will be looking for and mulling over ideas for recipes for the stuffed peppers themselves, accompaniments, and general information on Peruvian cooking and cuisine along the way.
The plan is to provide the plant a swing in temperatures between day and night as I am able by moving it inside and outside - I'd bring it in for cool air-conditioned nights in the summer and take it outside to spend the night in the chillier months. I've had good results overall with Kratky and can't remember having seen any Kratky pubes, so I'll be going with a jar for this. I picked up this 135oz pickling jar a couple days ago. Next steps will be removing the wire, painting the jar black, and 3D printing an adapter collar to fit the net cup to the jar.
Here's the model of the jar collar. I'll have the printed object soon. I can have these made iteratively as necessary to dial in the fit, but I have high hopes for the first one.
Any and all comments or criticisms are very welcome and I thank you all most warmly for having me and schooling me and reading my noodlings!

. Those net cups look like a great solution to that.
