Broken pepper plant rises up from the ashes!

Have you ever bought a plant at a nursery and then on the trip home, the little pot fell over in the back seat breaking the young plants main stem?

That happened to one of my bell pepper plants a couple of week ago and my first instinct was to toss it into the trash. But, for some reason, I didn't and instead keep watering it as though nothing was wrong.

Amazingly,that hard little rascal came back and now has some good top growth! It was almost like it was when I first purchased it! So, I'm thinking there's a moral in there someplace..... I'll track this little guy over the summer and report, from time to time, on how it fairs.

Update: July 1, 2016 - Wow! A full grown pepper plant!
