Please someone… what are these in my tomato plants. They grew overnight. Should I pluck or replant?

As for this, I can’t be sure because it’s not a sharp photo, but could be tomato stem bumps, which is normal, means the plants is looking for more space to spruce more roots. But from the picture here I’m not sure, is it airy? Is it powdery? Is it hard?

Not sure if these are better pictures. It’s slightly raised almost like bubble under the surface or a hive of that makes sense

Those are mushrooms that are breaking down organic matter and also appear because the soil is abundantly moist. Not harmful. You can take them out if you wish.

Okay got it, thank you for the information!!

I started potting them in containers but it may be time for me to move them to a bigger pot now if I’m following you correctly

#### Lololol replied on 2024-05-15

Probably time to replant, yes. Don’t let it grow too high, keep it trimmed so she grows to the sides. I’m about to plant my 3rd tomato plant and learning from my other mistakes, I didn’t trim them well 🤣

Awesome. I am literally just trying my best. I just lost my cantaloupe and watermelon plant to gummy stem blight I think. So my tomatoes and pepper plants are on hospital watch… lol. I will pot them this weekend and I guess watch a video on how to trim them properly… thank you so much for this information. I really appreciate it!
