Under watering tomato plants
I was gone for a week. My tomato plants didn’t get enough water. Can I prune the plant back for it to restart? Or do I just leave it alone and hope for the best?

Leave it alone and see if it recovers. Tomatoes are pretty tough plants so you may be surprised. Next time, water well, then use a mulch of wood chips or compost on top of the soil to seal in moisture.
Keep growing,
