    Help!,
    I strung up my tomatoes in no dig beds in my polytunnel last weekend. They were doing great, but I’ve just managed to pinch out the growing tip on one of them. Will it recover or should I replace it?

    I think that most of us have done that at some point!
    Yes it should make a new leader from a side shoot though it will take a while as I guess you removed all the side shoots! If you have a spare, I would plant it, otherwise the current plant will grow but will be later than the others.

    Thanks, Charles. It’s nearly doubled it’s size over the course of a week in it’s new no dig beds under plastic, but I think I will try again with a new one. More haste, less speed, when it comes to the finer aspects of growing!
