re-staked the tomatoes, and pruned them


so this morning i re-staked the plants and pruned them, removing the suckers, which is supposed to promote growth and make healthier fruit. I guess in between branches there are smaller branches called "suckers" which you are supposed to take off. Also, you should trim the lowest branches off, the internet says, to keep the leaves off the ground.

9 days later



and i've got tomatoes. actual, tomatoes. the plants are much bigger now, it seems like they've doubled in size since when i got them. I've been giving them miracle grow for tomatoes once a week for three weeks now, does it work? i don't know. I suspect they are green zebra tomatoes

a little over a week later

its monday and the rain sucks. on friday i watered the tomatoes again with miracle gro for tomatoes. i'm worried i water them to much, but i tend to freak out a little when the leaves get droopy.
I think they've grown some

Anyway, they're also developing some flowers, which will develop into tomatoes, i think.
