Hi friends!

I know from experence to plant tomatoes deeply.  New roots will emerge
from the buried stem.  Not watering the transplant encourages deeper root
growth so that the plant is better able to tap the existing ground water.

Now, planting pepper tansplants deeper will stabilize the plant, but will
new roots emerge from the burried stem?  Is the plant stability the
result of these new roots, or just from the physical effect of deeper
primary (original) roots?

I will just have to conduct an experiment, but does anyone have any ideas
or experience?

TIA
