This morning my tomato plants main stem snapped clean in half. It is completely severed. The plant has no flowers or fruit yet. What is the best thing to do to try and rescue it?

Put into water ,before long roots will start,then pot this up as another tomato plant.
Continue to look after the original plant as normal .this should be alright .
A side shoot will take over as the main stem. Tie it to a cane. Tomatoes are not self supporting, even in a greenhouse, without wind, they will keel over. Outside it is even more important.
