JAB Farms to attempt GLOG for first time!

I've been told for years that my craziness should be documented somewhere. Well, I'm going to attempt it. Each year I like to start at least 3 times what I am planning for myself. I do fill 3 other (neighbors and family) gardens as well but even so have tons of plants. And on average I have 500 hot pepper plants in our garden, with 35-50 superhots in buckets on deck. (along with 75 tomatoes, okra, tons of cucs in garden) This year I started 42 types of HOT peppers, 12 types of sweet (not for me!). I'll attach photo's later - so in some kind of order) as I have several in my 30+ trays of 48 as I am starting transplanting and putting back under lights until they are ready for greenhouse. There are 3 - 5 shelf shelving units inside with lights across and 3 shelving units of 4 shelves in garage as backup.

What's the crazy guy growing this year? In HOT category (for most of us)
Carolina Reaper, White Moruga Scorpion, Trinidad Scorpion, Apocalypse Scorpion, White Trinidad Scorpion, Caribbean Red, Datil, Red Savina, Helios, Scotch Bonnet Freeport Orange, Thai Culinary, Thai Dragon (2 types), Prik Chi Faa, Bottle Rocket, Kung Pao, Aji Amarillo, Aji Pineapple, Sugar Rush Peach, thunder Mountain Longhorn, Long Red Slim Cayenne, Long Thick Cayenne, Lemon Drop, Devil Serrano, Hot Rod Serrano, Santo Domingo Serrano, Antiplano Serrano, Joe Cayenne, Atomic (Brazilian) Starfish, Big Thai, Orange Spice, Biker Billy, Jalapeno Early, Jedi Jalapeno, Dante Jalapeno, Everman Jalapeno, Inferno Hot Banana, Gochujang King, Cucumber Pepper, Numex Big Jim and JAB Superhot (usually a cross between all my superhots from previous year)

Hope someone can at least laugh at my craziness!

More to come.

Good luck walking between your rows once everything has grown haha

Yes. It definitely becomes a challenge, but something I've learned over the years - the peppers love to be elbow-to-elbow with other peppers. And if having to work to get down my rows - means i get a bunch more to pick... I'm game

UPDATE: SUNDAY 5/19/24

All peppers, Tomatoes are planted in garden/containers. I have 507 Peppers IN! 416 in garden (in ground) and rest in contrainers/buckets. I'll attach a few pictures of the madness... Still have a bunch of peppers in greenhouse. This is the sad day They are not going anywhere and will be ready should something take a hit. I have backups!

So, front garden as of today... Everything loved the all day soaking rain yesterday.

Then the back garden.... (tomatoes first - they too are getting huge)

Then to containers... I have several in front of back garden - and by grill... There are more - just not worth posting at this point. All were in protection mode - as sun was beating on today. All perked back up once sun was off later this afternoon.

Superhots on the deck are larger than they have ever been at this point in the season. That bodes well for my harvests!

14 Carolina Reapers, 3 White Moruga Scorpions, 3 White Trinidad Scorpions, 7 Trinidad Moruga Scorpions, 5 Apocalypse Scorpions, 4 Pink Tiger x Reapers (second pic)

Will update as things grow and I start picking!!!
