Growing Tomato

Aster read my posts of March 14th and 27th. I did the same thing as you - cut a dying plant off at the ground and now have had the best crop of large tomatoes ever. Difference is I also transplanted the cutoff plant into a garden bed rather than leave it in a pot. Barb and Pete have suggested the problem was tomato russet mite and I think they are probably correct. Good luck with your new cutoff plants.
