Tomato plants took a beating in the storms.

[hornian]

My tomato plants got beat up last night in the storms. They were already over the tops of their cages (about 18-24 inches over), with fruit up that high, but the strong rain last night bent them over the top wire of their cages, and now they're sorta hanging at a 30 degree angle or so down. Is there anything I can do to help them not die from the trauma, or is the part of the plant above the bend pretty much a goner?

Yeah, just clip it back, they'll bush out from there.
Bummer.
******* neighbor's cat ate 2 baby barn swallows that fell on our porch.
I'm going to shoot that ****** when I see him.

Are the socks creased or snapped? If not, hopefully it'll perk back up.

They're just creased, not completely snapped. I'm gonna gank some duct from my work and try to give them a little extra support. Duct tape fixes exerything.

Pantyhose is better.

I dont' have any pantyhose lying around, and the girlfriend doesn't wear them. And I forgot to gank the duct tape
