If you were a bit closer, I'd come and rescue it for you I love spiders! We have a resident 'tarantula' in our outside loo, my OH won't set foot in there after dark I'm quite happy to leave it there - keeps the flies down which are my phobia!

Last year some wind got to our toms and one of them had its stalk snapped it had about a quarter left intact, somehow it managed to survive after I earther up aroung the damaged part and it when on to produce fruit shame it didn't get to ripen before we were hit by blight. Thank god for green tomato chutney!

Your plant will be fine, New Bud. In my experience, it's quite difficult to kill tomato. About a month ago, when we have just moved into our new house, we got hit by very strong winds, which took my polytunnel apart and killed (that's what I thought) all of my fruiting tomatoes, peppers, etc. I was actually crying as it was the first time I have actually grown veggies from the seed.

My OH told me not to discard sorry looking stems (that's what I've been left with) and keep watering them. I followed the advice, and voila, they all put on new growth, not from the top though, but rather from the bottom and some from the side. My peppers got flower buds about to open, and my tomatoes are setting trusses like crazy.

Keep us updated.

The plant is perking up, the stems have regained their vigour and the leaves bounce back (they curl under slighly at the ends, in a healthy way and when i used to run my fingers along them they would bounce back) I leave it alone and just check it in the mornings.

Coriander looks fine, the three seedlings i rescued have grown higher and stronger and the rooted seeds I found among the compost have started to shoot.

Everything else is fine in the garden and were unharmed, my peas are doing great and I have loads of carrot shoots and the pumpkin is fine. I also rescued a Tumbling Tomato plant from the garden centre to put in a hanging basket (they had let its roots grow way out of the drainage holes - morons! and the flowers were dry) So i've fed and watered it and it has allready perked up!

I WILL GET TOMATOS THIS YEAR

okay I'll shut up now
