My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Purple stems

14 years ago

What problem is causing my tomatoes stems, limbs, and veins to turn dark purple? Started when a friend spread "horse manure" on part of my garden. Happened last year and luckily had more tomatoes in another patch. Planted a few test plants back there this year, same problem.any reply appreciated, Jim
