Ridiculous gardening question

Found out I'm pregnant last night (exciting and unexpected as was waiting for a fertility treatment referral) and have been somewhat distracted ever since. The result of this was that I accidentally poured a good couple of hundreds mls of diluted zoflora onto my tomato plants instead of water! (Shouted at DH a LOT for leaving the zoflora spray on the side - I have now scribble all over it with a sharpie so can't make same mistake again!).
As soon as I realised I took the plants (which were growing in a bucket on the windowsill) out to the greenhouse and transplanted them into grow bags, shaking off most of the 'berry nice' scented soil in the process. Question is - do they have any hope in hell of surviving???!

Zoflora is very dangerous to cats apparently. Maybe rinse it off and risk killing the plant anyway to save the moggies.

Depends if it has soaked into the compost. If you shook off the zoflora I think the new roots they produce will mean they survive ok.

They might be fine. When I was pregnant I accidentally sprayed the whole of one border in my garden with weed killer (thinking it was greenfly killer). I quickly hosed everything down and pretty much everything survived!

P.S. congratulations on the exciting news!

Thanks everyone! 24 hours later and they haven't keeled over yet so fingers crossed...

TowerRingInferno - haha makes me feel better to know it's not just me!

Oh no! I think I'd do the same sort of thing if I just found out that I was preg! Hope they survive the ordeal. And congratulations Flowers
