I don't have too much to say. Except that I had to prune the tomatoes again. And I thinned them out. I got rid of three tomato plants. I hope I kept the right ones. It was way past time to clean out the reservoir again. So, while I was doing that, I took the time to take all the tomatoes out of their places. I also wanted to see if the roots were getting into places where they shouldn't go again. I had to pull the plants' roots apart to get them all loose. After I had them loose, I trimmed their roots back. I read somewhere that it is good to do this for tomato plants now and again. I also made some discs to cover up the empty spaced in the Aerogarden. After trimming, I put them back in some spots, took the reservoir back to the base, covered the empty spots so that the light wouldn't make algae grow in the water, filled with water, and there you go. I decided to wait to put plant food in the water. There's only a few days left until it's time to put some in anyway. I figure they can go for a little while without the plant food. So, there it is, some sick and one dead plant is out, hopefully this will free up space for the remaining plants to grow healthy for a while. I do think they're not going to last much longer, though. Well, that's it for today, I hope they survive my brutal treatment! Happy Tomatoing!
