Default Chili Question ~

Can you transplant peppers
deep (roots grow on stem)
like tomatoes?
I forget what I did last year ~
Thanks,
Tom

Pepper roots don't grow up the stem like tomatoes. It won't hurt them to be planted a little deeper, though. I usually do just to anchor them down a little bit.

I always bury my peppers as deep as I can, just like tomatoes, for the same "anchoring" reason.

True enough... not as readily as tomatoes, but they will root if conditions are right & thankfully so as that is how some of us clone our plants.

Plant them just as deep as you feel necessary.
