Can a Slug-Caused Tomato Tragedy Be Saved? 14 May 24.

 This is the Supersweet-100 cherry tomato that I bought yesterday but didn't plant yet.  Overnight, something ate the stem.  I blame a slug.


Tomato plants are famous for growing roots from the stems, easily.  I will try to water-root the top.



I cut it with a single-edge razor for a clean cut.

Then, into water.


I'll keep it in my East - facing window and see what happens.

Meanwhile, here is the gaping wound.


I placed the cut iff "stump" outside with my other plants.  If it was planted above the cotyledon level, maybe it will regrow.  But I doubt that.
