I set my tomatoes out a little over a week ago. Some already had flower
clusters. The neighbor sprayed the fence row a few days later with Round-Up
and now our tomatoe's new growth is all distorted from the drift. Will they
recover and produce fruit or will they remained deformed and not bear?
Please, does anyone know? Should I replace them or will they recover?

Only time will tell.
I'd plan on replacing them, and keep them away from the property line
this time. :-(

Ask your neighbor to replace the plants.
Roundup is quite short-lived, so if the plants survive at all they may well
recover.

I don't want to get on their bad side over a few dollars. They're trying to
clean up a messy weed strewn yard left by the old owners of their property.
The plants still look healthy and are a nice green color. Just the newest
growth is deformed and curled. We're sick over this.

I believe roundup is a systemic herbicide. If your plants were
healthy to begin with, you could take a few and try removing the new
growth - pinch back. Kind of like sucking the venom from a snakebite
(OK, I think that's just Hollywood, but the principle is the same).
Only if you leave it go, you're too late. The stuff works it's way to
the roots and then kills the plant.
Or maybe there was something else going on, and they wilted from too
much sun, just coincidence re: neighbors. I do know one thing, if I
had even slightly misted my 'mater plants with roundup, they'd be
dead. Karma is a real.. you know.
That's why I'm graduating to a flamer this year. Could be fun if I
don't blow myself up.
Flame on!
