TheGreenChileMonster's 2017 GLOG

Now that it is almost time to plant out, I figured I'd start up my GLOG for the year. I've cut out almost all superhots this year, and am growing solely peppers I regularly cook with. Here is a link to my glog last year:

I did a good job documenting my grow last season, but I plan to give more regular updates this year. I'm growing more veggies this year too, so I needed to free up some space in my garden. Here is the list for the year. All of these are either OW plants or well established seedlings.

Aji Limo
Aji Mochero
Aji Amarillo
Aji Pacay
Aji Arnaucho
Aji Dulce
Aji Largo (Pubescens)
Aji Oro (Pubescens)
Rocoto Rojo Arequipeño
Rocoto Oculto
Red Peruvian Rocoto
Giant Red Rocoto
Giant Yellow Rocoto
Rocoto Peru Cusco
Mini Red Rocoto
Large Red Rocoto
Turbo Pube
Guatemalan Red Rocoto
Carolina Reaper

I'll start posting pics and updates as soon as I start planting out over the next few weeks. There may also be some veggie and home brew pics in this GLOG throughout the season.

I'd help grow a plant or two to try and isolate a yellow strain.

Great harvest Dale .. Aji Limo looks an interesting variety

Thanks! I'll gladly send you some seeds to grow, if you would like.

Here is a nice little picking of some Pubescens I did this evening. I can't wait to dive headfirst into these pods over the next week. The rocoto harvests are going to start picking up big time over the next few months.

Dude, I got 1/2 that amount off of two 8' tall BEAST plants last year, HAHAHAHA!!! And ZERO ripe ones

Nice pull!

Lol, thanks! There is a lot more where that came from. It kind of sucks to be only pulling red pods right now. I like to have several colors of Pubes to pick at the same time. There are a ton of giant yellows, aji oros, turbo pubes, and my yellow rocoto Peru Cusco is finally pofding up, so there will at least be some color diversity to the Pubes pretty soon.

This aji pacae is well over 7' now.

Guatemalan Red Rocoto.

Mini red rocoto

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

Rocoto Peru Cusco. It was a late bloomer last year, and the same this year. It has the most ridiculously tiny Pubescens flowers but the pods actually grow pretty large.

 

[Thegreenchilemonster]

A hedge of turbo pubes. There are a ton of pods in there, but mainly buried deep in the foliage.
