Broken tomato plant?

During the strong storm in mid august some of my garden tomatoes suffered injuries.
I decided to care for a big broken branch by preparing a nice cutting out of it:
I cut the base with an angle, I nipped all the leaves on the lower half of the branch and then let it sit in water in a light (no direct sun) and warm (not hot!) space of my living room, for a week.

I planted the rooted tomato branch, that had been cut by wind from an outdoor plant one week earlier. I planted it in the same pot as a basil branch rooted a week before.

This tomato cutting is blooming!
In the same large pot, placed on a west large window sill, there is also one layered stevia and 2 additional basil cuttings.
