They may be the future 'Hosta Of The Year'. LOL Connie

Hi. Tobacco varieties that are grown for commercial use are resistant to Tobacco Mosaic Virus. There may be pockets of TMV in some greenhouses that are growing heirloom varieties for their own use (or for decorative plants), but the smoker who uses commercial cigarettes/cigars will not transmit the virus. No problems there. I see some black specks on the leaves in the photo that's 3rd from the bottom. Could there be some pest activity going on there? Your plants look generally healthy. I think most of the problem is attributable to the need for fertilizer. It looks like you are doing a good job with watering too - not too little and not too much. Good on ya. The last photo, of the fruit, looks like blossom end rot. Most of what I've seen indicates that you need to fertilize the plants. With container plants, you need to fertilize regularly with a fast-acting fertilizer that has nutrients that are immediately available to the plant. Most potting soils do not contain nutrients and they don't hold nutrients because they wash out from watering. Get some inexpensive, water soluble, fast-acting fertilizer, such as Peter's or Miracle-Gro or one of the others. Dilute according to package directions for INDOOR plants. This is important. If you make it too strong, like for outdoor plants that are in the ground, it will damage the plants. Feed every 2 or 3 weeks or as suggested by the directions. Slow-acting fertilizers will not be useful to potted tomato plants so don't bother with things like Tomato Tone or bone meal or other amendments that take a long time to break down. They will be washed out before they get a chance to be useful. This should vastly improve the health of the fruit and leaves. Your fruits, with regular fertilizer and watering evenly, will stop getting blossom end rot. It should also help with the leaf issues. I don't see any disease. Maybe a little pest activity but that's easy to resolve with your favorite garden insecticide. Fertilizing is your most important issue. It will make a big difference. Enjoy!

Neat find! I also have a Francee that put a similar eye out. So far, a few leaves have died off but the ones that made it are yellowing up a bit more. A few have a random green streak through them. Mine gets midday sun, and i thought that helps with the white ones?... If someone who knows can elaborate? Reagrdless, initially you would want it to acclimate from the shade for now, anyways. I'm leaving it attached to Francee to give it a chance to survive off of it, until it either dies or settles. Truthfully, I'm not anticipating that mine will make it... But I will let it give it the best try it can. Now, its just wait and see if it makes it this year, and then what it looks like next year, and the year after... Yours may have more substance but mine seems pretty thin and weak, for lack of a better word.

Emily what's going on is you have some very well grown violets! Whether it is something in the water or just plain good luck,,,,who knows??? But they are beautiful! As far as the reaching thing, I wouldn't give it another thought. Things reach for a little more light, maybe a tree got bigger with more leaves and that window is a little more shaded?? You wouldn't notice, but your plants will! And you did say same window! Whatever it is,,,,many of us would like to have your "problem"! Keep doing what you are doing. It is working. Beautiful plants!!!!! Rosie
