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.

Bugs don't like Cherokee..?

16 years ago

Just an observation here, but my Cherokee Purple is bug free while aphids seem to love my Mortgage Lifter. Both are in smart pot containers on the deck.

The CP is a healthy-looking tomato and I'm just wondering if this is true for the variety. Nice if so.

Its the first time I've grown it and I'm impressed.
