Tomato plant problems

[popeyespappy]

We were looking at that, but this looks more black than purple.

The discoloration in the venous structure of the leaf points more towards a nutritional defiency than a virus/ bacteria/ insect problem. Do you live where you need to lime your soil? You can contact your local ag center and find out what minerals your local soil lacks. Purplish coloration might be a phosphorous defiency. But I am stumped!

Local soil. Ha! I wish...



Yes, we have to add lime. I'll try some phosphorous. Thanks

Seen any of the insect transmitter?

The only bugs we've seen much of so far this year were flea beetles. They were doing a job on the peppers before we got rid of them with neem oil, but we didn't notice any on the tomatoes.
