Oh, yeah, tomato plants *live* to root wherever and whenever they can!!!
This is why some people plant leggy tomato seedlings "sideways" rather than
digging deep holes for them.

If you look closely at the tomato plants in your garden, I *think* that the
bumps on the lower stem are roots just waiting for a chance.

Also, I tie up my tomatoes & pull off suckers; many of the well-developed
suckers have been planted & gone on to produce tomatoes.

A branch from a tree hit one of my tomato plants last week. (heavy wind,
small branch) and broke off a piece.
It was covered in flowers and I thought it still looked pretty so I
placed
it in a vase with some other goodies.
Well it took root and is growing. I have never heard of this before. Has
anyone else?
