How To Grow Tomatoes – A Beginners Guide To Growing Tomatoes And Planting Tomatoes

Enough sun for my tomato plant?

I’ve planted a tomato plant (Early Girl variety) outside on my north-east facing balcony. I only get about 4-5 hours of sun – from dawn until about 11-11:30ish (and that’s provided there are no clouds, of course). I’ve read that tomatoes CAN actually grow with that much sunlight, and I’ve also read that they absolutely need anywhere from 6-8 hours up to a whopping 10-12 hours! It’s still in the seedling stage, but it’s been out there for 6 days now and so far it looks pretty happy. What are your experiences with tomato plants?
