Tomatoes Under Shade

Well I’ve answered my own question with growing tomato plants under shadecloth, yes, they do grow leggy. With the odd day over 35C, or maybe two close together, I’ll have the shadecloth so it can be just tacked up on the hot days and removed or lowered when it’s cooler.

One thing with the shade is that the plants are alive and not showing burnt foliage, like they can be prone to do. With regular sunlight, they will thicken up again, so no dramas.
