Damage on Young Plant. A large tomato plant can survive damage better than a young plant, but even a small plant can recover from a broken upper stalk. If the stalk, or stem, is damaged under the lowest branch, however, the plant will not survive.
Tomato plants do not only grow in the summer, but also can produce fruit indoors in the winter. These fruits will be smaller than their outdoor counterparts, but will still pack a tasty punch, good for salads and snacks. Container-grown tomatoes require little extra care than outdoor tomatoes. Knowledge of how to grow these tomatoes and keep them healthy will help you produce fresh, tasty fruits in the dead of the winter. Fill a seed flat or small pots with a mix of half peat and half perlite. Plant the tomato seeds 1/4 inch into the soil. Tamp the soil down and water deeply.
