ok I know its a strange question...but can you root one of the side banchs off your tomato plant? with all the rain...or monsoon season I had last month here in TX I got this branch hanging on my plant and it has some small roots in the crotch area on it....like it wants its own space maybe Its about 9 or so inches long& is earliey girl(I think )It sure looks good after all that rain
Can't wait for them thoughts!

You sure can!! In fact, once when I was planting my tomatoes, I completely broke off the top of one. I just stuck it in the ground, watered it, and put a cut-off milk jug over it and it grew! Now, when I need an extra plant, I just break off a sucker and stick it in a pot. Then in a few weeks it's ready to plant out.

Yep, Njoynit, same for me what Terry did, broke the top off of a plant, planting it, and went Ooops and said to my self, SELF, let's experiment, and I striped the bottom leaves, stuck it in, and watered... I did water it a few times with my personal fav, Shultz Plus 10~60~10, just to get over some shock and give it a couple of foliar feeds to get some nutrients until it could send out some roots...
Might have been a bit slower than the rest, busy rooting up and all, but still got some 'mater's out of it!!!
