Since an obelisk pretty much was out of the question, I figured the next best thing would be to glue a rose to the cover over the tomato's former home. I mean, that's just as good as an obelisk, right? Now, onto other things. The original tomato is still not red. I put some coffee water in the reservoir of the Aeorgarden, I may do it again the next time I change out the water. I don't want to do it too much. We'll see how that goes. Also, the Aerogarden website says something about pruning branches so the plant has more energy to expend on ripening the tomato as opposed to putting energy into growing those branches. Plus, the darn things were growing up into the lights. So, some pruning was done. I even pruned some branches that had flowers on them! The were right up in the lights. I hope that was OK. I've got a lot of tomatoes, so I figure these plants have as much as they can handle right now. Here are some pics of what is going on with the tomatoes now. The pic in the top right very clearing shows the original tomato. Actually, I think I made a mistake and the picture in the lower right might be that same tomato instead of a different one. Oh well. I'll take more pics soon. The point is, I'm finding more of them every day. I don't want these things to have a blowout. Can they get too many tomatoes? Will the plants have to expend too much energy to grow and ripen these things? I guess I'll have to read up some more. Well, that's basically it. I'm having a little trouble concentrating. I usually listen to classical while I'm writing, this time I tried the "Jazz Focus" playlist instead and it's pretty distracting. Back to classical! See you next time, happy tomatoing!
