I did it! I got one of my plants to successfully grow a pod to full ripeness (Is that a word?) totally indoors! What makes it even more special is that it's from a plant I started completely from a seed.
I wish I had taken a picture of it. It was a small 1/2 inch fully mature Gold Bullet. Beautiful coloring. And I could smell the heat after I picked it. Actually, it fell off right into my hand.
Since it was my husband's idea to grow them, he got to taste it.
He said "Never again!"
It was the hottest thing he's ever tasted.
I'm not brave enough to taste anything hotter than a cayenne yet. I grow the bells and milds for food, the hots for their beauty. Now that I've got Royal Blacks, Variegated, Explosive Embers, & Black Pearls, I'm really enjoying the beauty of my plants.
The race is on for the next ripe pod. It will either be another Gold Bullet from the same plant or a Sweet Pickle.

However, I have had vegetable gardens as a kid when we had a yard and I started all of those from seed. I can relate to the feeling. It's a good feeling.
