Marie, I recall your original post but didn't respond. I thought at the
time that I don't recall ever seeing any very small tomato seedlings that
were not a bluish purple on the stems.
Speaking of rain or in our case lack of it, I think we must be in a 'no
rain' zone. It passes to the south, to the north, west and east but never
here. Things are still green but if we don't get a good rain soon they
won't stay that way long. My sweet corn and peas may never come up. JimW.
