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.

Aji arnaucho is an interesting plants. Look like muticolor trinidad perfume.

How the heat and taste?

They taste great, similar to an aji limo, but with thicker flesh. The heat is about the same as a low level habanero or scotch bonnet, maybe 80,000-100,000 scovilles.

Holy moly, Dale! That's a fantastic harvest and a beautiful display. You've got some flavor there! I like the look of the Aji Dulce...like red pumpkins. Which species is that? Great stuff!!!

Thanks! Those are Peruvian Aji Dulce. Capsicum Chinense. All that delicious Chinense flavor, with absolutely no heat at all. I like to eat them fresh in salads, stuff them, or dry them to make pimenton dulce powder for chimichurri.

Thanks! Now I need to figure out what to do with these 50+ reaper pods... I'll probably smoke them, then dehydrate, and powder them. My one reaper plant/tree still has a good 75+ unripe and baby pods on it growing. Maybe next year I will put it back in a 10 gallon pot, instead of the 20 gallon pot I used this year.
