About three weeks ago I planted two of Burpee’s Sweet Heat pepper seeds in my harvest. Here we are at 21 days in:  The package says the plant will grow to 10” - 12” so I don’t think I will top it. I’m curious to see if there will be any difference compared to the Park seeds that Shawn is growing. |

There's going to be a lot of Sweet Heats growing soon! It will be educational and fun to watch yours growing before I start mine. I'm thinking I'll just do one in the Harvest, as it's so small. I want to keep my Extra open after I terminate my tomatoes for bigger peppers.

I only ever grew this outside along with a lot of other peppers, so I didn’t remember the size. I didn’t realize it was such a petite plant and could grow in a Harvest. That’s wonderful.

30 days in and the plant is growing nicely.   Looks like we’re close to having flowers!  |

I have a flower! Question for the Sweet Heat pros: Do you nip the first buds to give the plant time to grow?

I never did and had luck with mine. But lets see what mike thinks. Good question. |

Not on the Sweet Heats. They are a small plant. You will love them. I think they are the prettiest of the peppers. I love that shade of red.

I totally agree with Mike on being the prettiest peppers and the red is beautiful!

Day 48. The plant is doing well but the Harvest is at its maximum height. Tons of clusters at the top too. Not sure what to do about it.  The good thing is that we have fruit! I’m such a proud papa. 😂   |
