Best way to save / salvage tomato plants

robrpb · April 25, 2018

My uncle has several tomato plants that he has started from seeds that are bout 6-10" tall. He has the plants in styrofoam cups and he places them on a sill outside during the day. He lives in North Carolina. The other day it got very windy and several of the plants fell off and the stems broke. Several broke about half way up the plant and several a little lower on the stem. How can he save or salvage these plants as he was getting ready to transplant them in the ground in the near future? Can he tape them and plant them with the break below the ground? Thanks.
