Sadly whoever or whatever it was ate all the shoots, I have now spoilt their
fun by taking the baskets back into the greenhouse for a few weeks, bigger
plants will not be so tasty I hope. Thanks all for your input.

didn't really consider mice, the plants are tumbler tomato's in hanging
baskets about 5ft. up a wall, but I suppose mice do climb very well and
yes
the tops have gone. Don't suppose that they will shoot out and grow
again?

I'm with Sacha, field mice would be my bet, Are the tops still there?
If not then mice.

If there are any leaves left on the stem then you will get side shoots
growing from the leaf axil.
