Pepper plant over-fertilized / watered - can it be saved?
The minature bell pepper plant in the pic was lovely and lush with leaves and buds until a friend's child decided to pour 1/4 bottle of tomato feed on it then drown it last Sunday. I have repotted it. As you can see all the leaves have dropped off and the flowers are brown and dry. The stem seems healthy enough. Is there any value in pruning it back and hoping for new growth? It usually lives in my polytunnel so warmth isn't too much of an issue. Thanks.

If you'd removed it from the pot and thoroughly washed it down with the hose, it would have removed most of the feed, and diluted anything that was left. Excess water alone would have been less of an issue.
You could still try that and cross your fingers
Not sure you can do much with it now. Cutting it back probably won't help, because I doubt it can produce anything worthwhile at this stage in the season. I don't grow them so perhaps someone else can advise better on that.
Sorry - that sounds a bit negative.
It's just a pity you didn't do it right away, but you never know - plants often surprise us
Always keep this sort of stuff way out of reach of children.
