Default Planting tomatoes with blue / purple roots.

Just a quick couple of pictures to show the blue roots of these two Tom Wagner varieties I'm growing. I suppose the roots are blue because they were exposed to sunlight by coming through the fiber pot. The two varieties in the pictures are "Blue Fog" and "Seattle's Blue Woolly Mammoth". It may not be surprising but there is something pretty cool about blue roots or at least I got a kick out of it.

Very cool!

And what a beautiful plant that is. That's the type I would like to be growing in my next "crop".




Thanks for sharing!
