I set my tomatoes out a little over a week ago. Some already had flower
clusters. The neighbor sprayed the fence row a few days later with Round-Up
and now our tomatoe's new growth is all distorted from the drift. Will they
recover and produce fruit or will they remained deformed and not bear?
Please, does anyone know? Should I replace them or will they recover?

You should replace them.

Yes, I think if the new growth this week is still deformed I will. They were
such healthy sturdy plants, I feel sick.

Sorry, they will die. It's the way Round Up works I'm afraid. I know
someone who lost his entire crop at a local allotment because some prat in
the next plot did the same.

His whole allotment. That is a shame. The okra and peppers look fine in our
garden. Just the toms reacted. The other year the people on the other side
of us sprayed the driveway on breezy day and bye bye to our flower bed. I
moved the flowerbed 50' from their drive now. People spray and do not think
of drift.

I am going to town on Wednesday. I will buy all new plants. These were from
private person and good size but she has no more to sell.

This is a case of intentional malicious spite work... time for some
tit for tat... first opportunity toss one of your old bras behind the
seat of your nasty neighbor hubby's car.

They did not know about drift and are so sorry. Better to remain friends
with the neighbors than to have enemies next door.

All the same, offer them some tomatoes from your harvest so that
they get the point;-)

Only a week in the ground - start over. There will be little
difference in harvest time even if those did survive, which is
unlikely, thus losing more time.
