Stan, when tomato leaves turn purple (at least on the undersides) they are
suffering a nutrient deficiency.  A shot of weak liquid fertilizer should
fix it.

I used peat pots to start tomatoes and peppers one year, and every single
seedling suffered from nutrient deficiency.  I have never had that problem
with seedlings in plastic pots.  Does the peat pot have anything to so with
it?  What with the mold, the too soggy/rapidly dessicated/no happy medium
quality, and the impenetrable walls that were supposed to give way to
roots, I will never use those pots again.
