I can't believe this day has come. I had to do some pruning, the very first tomato still resolutely stays green, but time marches on and waits for no man....or tomato, so it would seem. See, just doesn't want to ripen. It thinks it's better than all the other tomatoes or something. Anyway, I pruned like crazy because these things were growing up into the lights even worse. And I had to put some more plant food into the reservoir. I even grabbed some yarn to try and prop up some of the branches in the back that seemed to be falling over a bit too much. But did you catch that little bit of color right there in the front? Did you? Did you? See, now this tomato knows what's going on. What it's supposed to do. It may be smaller than the rest, it may be fighting through a maze of branches, but darn it, it's going to freaking ripen no matter what. All these pictures were from a couple of days ago. Today, the tomato looked pretty good. Hi there! Lookin' good. Like, really good. Tasted pretty good, too. I might have jumped the gun. You can't really tell, but there was a little bit of green on the top, just a little. I'm not sure picking and eating this tomato right in front of the Aerogarden was a good way to encourage them to ripen, however. At any rate, there you go. I will probably trim the roots back sometime in the next week or so when I refresh the water and add nutrients again.
Happy tomatoing!
