pepper help! quick!
alright, so in my container garden yesterday, I did some work and thinned out my herbs so I can focus on my pepper plants. I kept some dill and basil, but other than that everything else is gone for right now. basically I moved my peppers to the center of the containers and I think I might have hurt the roots. they are dropping and look like they are going to die if they haven't already died. I added some miracle grow and have been trying to water them and keep them alive. any ideas?

Well, too late now, but it isn't generally a good idea to fertilize a plant that is struggling. Just forces it to use resources for quick growth instead of getting re-established.
It was probably just transplant shock and the plant would have recovered on its own in a few days and probably still will. Just good care is all that's needed ... plenty of sunshine and water (not wet, just not letting it dry out).
