Since I have no Bounty space available, I decided to go ahead and plant a Sweet Heat pepper in a Harvest.
Although they say they only grow 10" high, I have always grown them in a Bounty before. I can't remember how tall mine grew. I may have to do some top pruning.
Machine: Harvest Seeds: Pepper Variety: Sweet Heat Hybrid Vendor: Seeds 'n Such Sponges: Park Seed One pod planted with 3 seeds, so I can select the healthiest.
Pictures to come.

There is life in the Sweet Heat pod, but it refuses to cooperate for a picture!

Here are the big and small one -- both stripped of their huge outer leaves so the inside can get light and air.
It still hurts to prune off those gorgeous, showy leaves. But there was a lot of moisture collecting under them.

I have been doing this for years now and I still get bothered taking the leaves but when they are removed I know it will grow healthier.

One of the plants has 2 nice sized peppers on it, but I can't get a decent photo that shows them. Later!

I finally got a decent shot of the peppers. There are more hidden in the foliage.

maskedsonnet , they get up to about 4" long. They are my favorite pepper to grow.
They look like red Christmas tree ornaments when ripe.
