How do I manage heirloom tomato varieties in limited sunlight on my balcony?
I'm living in a fifth-floor apartment in NYC with a north-facing balcony, and I'm really keen on growing heirloom tomatoes this season. I've heard that these varieties can be a bit particular about sunlight, but my space only gets about 5-6 hours of sunlight daily. I've already attempted to grow some cherry tomatoes last summer, but they didn't thrive as I'd hoped. My balcony is pretty small, and I’ve been considering vertical gardening options but I'm unsure how to manage the light situation for different heirloom varieties. Can anyone share tips or experiences? What varieties might be more forgiving in lower light conditions? I really want to make the most of my urban space! 🌱
