I have one row of tomatoes planted in an area where we amended the soil with a load of aged chicken litter. Our stand of corn is 8' tall & the melon vines are spreading like crazy. But what is wrong with these Ponderosa Red tomatoes? HELP! |

| It appears that it could be stem primordia. Sometimes, if a stem is damaged or is over-watered or exposed to high humidity, it will try to send out roots along the stem. It usually starts with bumps along the stem and, as it progresses, looks very similar to your picture. "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count.

| Me, too! Wow, that's weird looking! I've never seen anything like that on my tomatoes! So glad you started this forum, OG! Fascinating stuff! Confidence is that feeling you have right before you do something really stupid. |

| Thanks for the info. I think I'll just leave them be for now & see what happens. Fortunately I've got plenty of other various tomatoes doing well in raised beds & another ground plot. |

Can anybody tell me what this is exactly? I found it in the uprooted soil while I was pulling a patch of sedum out of my garden bed. I am wondering whether it is responsible for hollowing out the main root of my sempervivums.  May have done this damage to my plant?  |
