Looks happy! I woulda put it in that beautiful soil you have there though. It might be bigger than you by now 🙂

Looks great. Drainage and support are imperative

Seems healthy. Now is the time to put supports in so it can grow into them, and I would personally prune off the bottom leaves up to 2-3 inches off the ground so that they don’t grow in contact with the soil and give you diseases and such. I wouldn’t do much more than that until it gets another foot or so of growth on it.
What variety is it?

Looks great. I would honestly use a bigger pot though. 20 gallon. Smaller pots like that rub into Blossom End Rot problems. Speaking from experience. 😩

Now that’s a Spicey meatball there. Looks gorgeous. Healthy

Great! It’ll need support. Prune off the lowest 2 or 3 branches. Read about suckers and make educated pruning decisions.

So what’s the plan?

I think your bucket is fine as long as you keep it watered. Depending on your temp, likely every day..maybe every other day. It looks super healthy! Go ahead and get a support in place for it now before it gets bigger though
