As I previously mentioned, I am on an heirloom-variety kick this year. I successfully started 2 types of tomatoes from seed last year. I keep them on my kitchen table next to a sunny window. The tomatoes did well last year, however, they were very tall and spindly, and didn't produce much fruit (yes, tomatoes are fruits). My co-worker at my temp job that I had at the time said that they needed more direct sunlight. I am trying to put them out on my back porch daily.
As you can see, the sun is hiding behind the clouds, though is peaking out when the clouds move. I guess this counts as "direct sunlight," or at least it's as much as I can find here in the Northwest.
Hopefully, my plants will be a bit prettier and will bear more fruit this year. I'll let you know if this was in deed the issue.
Thanks for reading!
