Probably because its deceased after being whacked with a hose pipe.

Sorry about my appalling spelling, I have the good old excuse of dyslexia and a AutoCorrect iPad.
It's actually still looks ok, kind of. Can't stand to compost it yet. ��I grow 70% for us and 30% for the snails, then the neighbours eats them

I only compost them when there's absolutely no sign of life. Even a clouted tomato deserves a chance
PS Love the pups in your photo.

I am accident prone and have had toms suffering much worse abuse and yet coming back. It looks very lively for a dead plant! Give it a chanceComment

I bet you know what its like with your pups but all those guys are leaving me Friday off to Germany, after 2 months.
But those guys leave and a bunch more arrive
I might try tying him/her up. Its managed 36hours. Although to be fair i have more than enough plants

Good for you Lisa, looking after all those little furries. Must be hard to part with them after you've had them a while.Comment

It may be a bit later, but I am sure one of the other shoots will take over the leading shoot.
Should also turn out to be quite a bushy plant.
I find toms of that size pretty indestructible.
Repot down to the 1st true leaves and give it some food and water.Feed the soil, not the plants.

Your plant will be 100% fine. There are plenty of sideshoots, let them grow then if you want a cordon plant, choose the strongest and remove the rest.A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory. LLAP. - Leonard NimoyComment

Don't worry I guess in Spain you have a longer season then UK so plenary I me for the side shoot to grow. Plus when remove side shoot put them in water so they root. Some of my Italian friends they don't grow so many plants at one but few of them then they pinch the top so the produce side shoot and then pull them out and make them root for a new plant. Technically 5 and more plants from one. Plus this way the tomato are different sisze so It will give you a longer harvest in summer instead a big one all together.Comment

What does this mean?Originally posted by Lisasbolt View Post
It'll be fine - one of mine fell out of the pot as I was planting it because the only bit of the stem left was a thread. It was just breaking out new roots above the rot/break so I bunged it in anyway. Not dead yet ...Le Sarramea https://jgsgardening.blogspot.com/Comment
