Tomato plant problem? and Hydrophyllum virginianum (eastern waterleaf)

Tomato plant problem?



I have a tomato sprout and it's wilting just under the leaves, one leaf is dead; the other, alive. What do I do to save this plant?
Do I cut it down to the ground and hope it will grow all over again?
Do I cut off or pluck the dead leaf? (it's dry)
Do I "leave" it alone?
What do I do?

Take off the dead leaf or it will fall off by itself. Your description sounds like it is only a few inches high, and if you cut it to the ground, you will manage to kill it far quicker.

Tomatoes require sunlight to grow, so I hope you are not trying to raise them indoors.

If this is your first foray into tomato gardening, you may want to buy a really big plant or two or three which are far more up to abuse. They don't like tons of water and will never ripen in shade.
