Tomatoes drowning?

17 years ago

Recently I planted tomatoes in pots and sat them on my back porch. They instantly started shooting up like weeds like tomatoes usually do. They were only planted for a week when I left to go on vacation for a week. While I was gone there were numerous storm systems that hit north fl and we got at least 13" of rain (that's what was in a previously empty 5 gallon bucket in my back yard when I returned). Some of the pots were brimming with water and I had to tilt the pot to drain it off the top. Now my tomatoes are turning yellow and have not seemed to grow since I got home about a week and a half ago. Should I just pull them up and replant? We got another big rain of 3 or so inches a couple days ago and I feel like the soil in those pots has been sopping wet for a solid 2 weeks. Lost cause? Thanks in advance for your advice.
