Some of the cherry tomato plants on my balcony. If anyone knows why the ones in the back are growing much faster than the ones in the foreground please let me know. All were planted on the same day, and transplanted on the same day, and get watered equally.
I have a basil plant right behind them, so I guess thats covered. As for sunlight, it seems that the ones which are closer to the railing where that stick shade cover thing is are growing much faster. Should I try to get the rest in partial shade as well? Do tomatoes mind direct sunlight?
That is very weird as tomatoes love sun and produce faster and more on sun. Does rain shower the small ones by any chance?
Edit: also it could be to hot for growing tomatoes already try putting them inside for a bit? They look small for this time of year when did you plant them?
We only had rain once in the past 2 weeks, but yea, its possible that it can reach the smaller ones.
As for when I planted them, its been a little over a month iirc, and its true that I live in a hot country but this year the great heatwaves are delayed.
