 Okay, I think we are at day 41 here for the Aidu and the old reliable arrow gardens. I got my tomato plants here that are just growing like crazy and as you can see they are taking over the whole growing space here. They have a lot of extra branches and as you can see here on my arrow garden they are sucking up a lot of water. So first of all I am going to give this arrow garden some more water right away and then we are going to start pruning down these tomatoes. Get rid of a lot of extra foliage that we don't really need and get them ready for pollination. We have a lot of flowers on here so I am going to show you how I am going to get that set up. So I got to sit up here so that I can kind of walk around every angle of this arrow garden to show you how much foliage we got going here with two dwarf tomato plants. And if you recall I have a basil way back here that is getting totally blocked out of the light and in the front we got some time which is still hanging in there pretty good. Okay so we are going to start down at the base here of the plants and try to get rid of some of these branches, get a little airflow going in through here. And I am just using regular scissors here that I have just sterilized with just a little bit of hydrogen peroxide. I probably should get myself a real pair of shears down here but these seem to work. So you just kind of start hacking away at your tomato. It really is pretty tough and can take some really harsh trimming here. So I am going to just try to start at the bottom, get some of this little foliage out of here. Once we get a fan going the air can flow through a little bit better and as you can see I had to add water again. I think having all these excess branches on here really sucks up a lot of water so don't need to have them here. You just kind of watch for the branches that have the blooms coming off of them because you want to make sure that you are not cutting those off. The ones that I am cutting off don't have any signs of blooms or anything coming on them. I kind of want to be able to get this basil out in the open again too so it can keep growing. I like to take a little harvest off of it every week. So that was a tiny Tim so I am going to start by hacking away at the bottom a little bit. So over here is the yellow cherry and it is starting to show a little sign of stress here. So I think it is a little bit overdue to prune it down a bit. So you are just going to have to walk around and have a look at it from different angles. See where you are cutting off. See this one here does have some little blooms on it so I am not going to chop that one off. Such a thick plant these dwarf tomatoes. They really got pretty heavy thick foliage. As you can see I have some blooms coming here. I am going to chop this one off down here. Let's try and give you an angle here from the top. I said some of these branches are looking a little weak. Cutting this one off. It does have a lot of suckers coming in between some of these branches. Just going to watch which ones. You can trim some of those off as well. Just going to have a look and see what we got left here. We got branch with blooms here. Some blooms here. Back here up here we got lots of blooms. I think I am going to hack off one more branch and then I am going to stop. Let's see what happens. I said it looks pretty thin and gangly now. Just by getting rid of a lot of those branches that are just basically sucking up nutrients should turn out to be a little bit healthier plant I hope. Very tempted to cut this one off just because it seems so big. It does have a little sucker coming here that is probably going to have some blooms on it. We are going to do it. As you can see here I have really hacked away at these two tomato plants pretty good. I have thinned them out quite a bit. Lots of room now at the bottom for air flow. I have lots of branches with flowers coming and blooms happening. I hope it can make it through the shock of all the chopping I have done tonight. Here is what I took off of the tomato plants on my aero garden here. The basil has got some light again. Time has got lots of room to grow. Now it's time to work on the Idu tomatoes and get them trimmed up. Growing in the Idu with my tomatoes here I have the mint and the chamomile at the back here. They are pretty good growing good. I could be harvesting some mint already. I want to try to open up and get rid of some of this foliage on the tomatoes just so these guys are getting some more light. At the front here I planted some arugula but it's kind of a big plant that needs a lot of space. I'm just going to actually pull this out and cover that whole up. At the back here this poor little oregano is struggling to try and grow. I didn't cover up this pod. I see there is some mold growing on it as opposed to LJ or maybe that is kind of an LJ. So I'm going to maybe cover that up as well and my chives never did come. So I'm going to just close up that hole as well. I'm just pulling out the arugula plant here and you can see that it's making the other plants move because all the roots are intertwined with each other. I'm just going to keep pulling gently and see how far I can go. If I need to I can always... So it's released here. These roots obviously belong to the tomatoes so I'll just gently push them back in here. So I bought some of these a little while ago that kind of do the same job as that cool noodle that you can just put them around the stem of your seedling and it'll cover the whole, keep out the light. So I'm just going to use that right now on here. As I mentioned here this oregano has a lot of what looks to be mold or LJ coming here. You can see there's a seedling actually ended up on the outside of the pot. I must have just dropped a seed on this edge there and that's the one that took off. I'm actually going to try one of these that I bought. I might as well see how it works. It's pretty slick. So you just basically open it up and wrap it around the stem of your seedling. Get it in place. There you go. I like it. I have to get some more of these. Okay so this is what they look like now that they've had their hair cut. I think they look way happier. They've got lots of breathing room. They've got lots of blooms here that we need to get pollinating on. Over here on the eye do I see that nothing is blooming yet but there is still I can see lots of little flowers and buds forming here. So hopefully in the next week or so those will catch up as well. And as you can see there's lots of space underneath. My chamomiles got lots of light now and mint. And hopefully this little oregano guy will take off too. So I'll probably keep trimming away a little bit throughout the week. So we'll check back in about three days, four days, just to see how these plants have survived the butchering that I gave them tonight. So it has been about five days since we've done the pruning on these arrow garden and eye do tomatoes. We are at day 47 since they've been planted. And these plants are looking really good. So you can see they've got lots of airflow, not too many excessive branches on them. We've got tons of blooms coming here on both the arrow garden and on the eye do plants. So that's great. So I'm going to be running this fan here. I used to set it for two or three hours every day. And just let it blow gently on the plants to help with pollination. Come around, give them a little flick every once in a while. And they seem to do pretty well with that. And hopefully, as you can see here, you can always see we have a little tiny tomato coming. So we should be able to see some fruit probably in the next 10 to 20 days. So thank you for watching my part three of the arrow garden versus the eye do systems. And stay tuned for upcoming videos where I will show you some of the harvest from these plants. Thank you for watching and happy gardening.
