TomatoNut95 said: Today I'm working on getting my tomatoes potted up into their permanent pots. Unfortunately I had an accident with one of my Hannah's Prizes and it broke at the stem when I was trying to pinch off the seed leaves. I felt so bad. Crying But I put the poor thing in a small vase of water in the house. If it roots then it'll be a new plant again. Stupid, dumb me. D'Oh!


I hope you have the same good luck I did ... I was potting up a tomato and picking off the lower leaves and snapped the main stem ... I couldn't believe it. For whatever reason I just went ahead and continued planting it figuring I'd be pulling it out in a couple of days. To my amazement, it never wilted or showed any signs of stress. It's continued to grow and looks great. I guess they're a lot more resilient than we think.
