Peppers!

[greenwitch]

I have a stunted pepper plant. I think I may have done the damage by waiting too long to get it in the ground (I left on a 2 week vacation the same day I got the seedlings, which were about 4-5" high at that point, and then once I got back didn't get them in the ground for at least another week.) The plant is about 8" high at the moment, and doesn't seem to have grown in over a month, while it's sibling (about 1 1/2 ft away) is twice the size and already has a pepper on it. I also planted it in not-so-great ground, so about two weeks ago I dug it up, loosened the dirt underneath and added some store-bought garden soil, and replanted it. It's still alive, and looks perfectly fine (minus any actual peppers), but still not growing.

If I were to dig up the plant, and put it in a pot instead of the ground, with fresh potting soil (store-bought, sadly my compost dirt is full of bugs and nasties), think there's any chance it will grow, or is it just too late? Though I'm sure I don't have anything to lose if it isn't growing anyway...
