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.

What are these little balls?

7 years ago

Someone left some tomato seedlings for free. The roots were entwined in these clay-ish balls in water. The plants looked healthy except at 4" tall they already had flower buds.


Any idea what these are and what they're for? And why buds at such a small height?
