How screwed am I? Monsoon knocked a banana pepper plant over with +12 peppers growing…
I’m going to gently stand it up and stake it with plenty of support. Should I remove all peppers so the plant focuses on healing? Any advice welcome. Thank you

The stem doesn’t look broken at all, do you see any damage?

Perhaps try repotting it and plant the stem deeper, so the soil comes above the possible break. Stake it and protect it. Hopefully you’ll get some peppers!

I would just retake it and gently straighten it back and tie it to the stake in several places, leave the peppers on, it should be fine.
