still no pepper!

That should be big enough for some peppers. The annuum peppers like the bells don't live very long. However, I was surprised that a Jalapeno lasted about three years before I pulled it out. Bell peppers for the most part last only a few months because they do not have enough disease resistance.

In warm climates many of the peppers live for years and can become quite large plants. My tabasco gets over five feet but if left unpruned, I had one that got up to 8 ft. To be honest though, it was planted between two citrus trees and it had to grow taller to reach the sun. I keep the tabasco in 1 gallon pots the first 8 months or so then either they go into the ground or into large pots 14-20 inch pots. One of my bird peppers is probably 10 years old and I have had tabasco's
in a 16 inch pot for 8 years.
