Thought I was a machine, but you are the machine
Good morning planning out the day is simple ..immediately go food shopping and then going to rinse and repeat what I did yesterday except I am not going to be carrying water… 
mix up nutrients in the water tanks, gravity feed through the hose down to the plants …it’s time consuming
Also, there are a lot of stress points between the main stem and the branches all those could use extra security with electrical tape

That really would not be retiring…tomato plants need very similar TLC just like weed …if ya let ’em grow too bushy ya get a lot of foliage and smaller yield of fruit plus aeration is key to keep PM and blight from taking over your plants…especially here in wine country of New York’s Finger Lakes
Aeration as in the plant as a whole? Or the soil or? I’m assuming you mean maximizing the air flow throughout the plant but I don’t like to assume.
Morning all.
Let me guess the gravity feed part is the easiest part, right?
… downside is you have to have the patients to stand in front of the plant for the amount of time required …fabric pots lose a lot throughout the sides. It’s slow to let them absorb.
Going hogwild manually gets it done quickly …but it’s brutal
All I know is I have marijuana muscles on my skinny little frame. It’s good physical and mental therapy.
one more hurry up and wait thing, huh
I’ve heard that large vegetable gardens are much more work than large marijuana Gardens …what’s your opinion?
What I need is music. Unfortunately the farm is in a dead zone. Completely
I just did a whopping hit of Haze hash Rosin 
Let me tell you that completely changes the framework of the morning.

Yes the air flow throughout the plant…just like with weed I defoliate the bottom 12 to 18 inches to get that air flow happening…don’t know for sure but my first garden’s here 30 years ago I did not have to worry about my tomato plants getting PM and blight…now with all these grape vineyards popping up all over the place and the spraying they do to protect the grapes I’ve noticed alloy more diseare affecting my garden…even this year I never had anything happen to my pepper plants…this year they got what looks like septoria leaf which is the beginning of blight on tomatoes…kills the plants from ground up

Depending on how your operation for either is set up…my garden is 40x80 and without the ground cover I laid down and the drip system I installed…I would never get ahead of it…same with weed getting as automated as possible cuts down on a lot of extra work…which gives you more time to do the dreaded pruning routine and such…right now I’ve got broccoli to harvest and Napa cabbage…the Napa cabbage I’m gonna do my maiden voyage into making kimchi in a water sealed crock
