I am looking to purchase a bounty. I want to grow one tomato pod, one mini bell peppers and one cubanelle pepper. My question.....where do I get the seeds for these?? I just want one pod of each.
Also, has anyone successfully grown cubanelle peppers in their bounty???

Hello and Welcome to the forum. While you can grow all three in the Bounty, many here have found when growing peppers and tomatoes to grow either one pepper and one tomato, 2 peppers or 2 tomatoes. You can always view the Member Gardens to see how others who grew these in theirs. I have grown Cubanelles however they are custom seeds (custom meaning not Aerogarden). If you do grow custom, you will need the Grow Anything Kit as you will need the sponges, cages, domes and label as well as the nutrients.

I've never grown cubanelles, but I have lots of favorite seed websites! Baker's Creek has cubanelle and mini bells, and a great variety of tomato seeds. This is where I get most of my seed. Territorial - didn't see any cubanelle but they do have mini bells and tomatoes. I like going here when Baker's doesn't have everything I want Park's - I don't buy from them often but I always have good luck when I get their seeds. Mini bells and tomatoes, didn't see cubanelles |

They are my favorite seed vendor when they have what I want. Their seeds come in a Gold Vault mylar package that will keep the seeds fresh a lot longer.
Also, their shipping is faster than anyone else's during covid.
And welcome to Aerogarden Addicts!

Mini bells and tomatoes, didn't see cubanelles I also recommend baker's creek. Good prices, huge variety and best of all (for me) they have free no minimum delivery for North America. So it's nice to be able to order some seeds from them here in Canada and not be charged a crazy amount for shipping. |

Welcome to the forum rclose. As Shawn said, plant height will probably be a problem here. Cubanelles are a 30" plant. I've only grown them once, and the were constantly into the lights. I had to prune them often. The Mini Belles are supposed to be a 24" plant, so they will probably need some maintenance, too.
The real issue here is the tomatoes. If you grow the Heirloom or Golden Harvest tomatoes, they are much shorter plants. They won't get enough light with the light hood raised for the peppers. You could use the Mega Cherry tomatoes, but that brings in another problem, crowding. The peppers alone will probably be crowding each other. You can do 3 of the Heirloom or Golden Harvest tomatoes, but the plant sizes will give you difficulty with the peppers.
