    hello
    im starting to plant my tomato plants that i bought from a local farmstand and i was wondering about how much sun they really need throughout the day. should i plant them in direct sunlight all day or can i put them in a partly shady spot? i know im starting my garden a little late... but better late than never right?
    thanks

    Yeah I got some miracle grow just for tomatoes. Works awesome. Added the epsom salts for the magnesium and man they took off. Four tomatoes now on the larger of the plants. Thought it wasn't going to happen.

    full sun, because a couple of years ago we planted some in partial shade and they didnt to well, but u can give them to much water and get water logged plants, we had that one year when it rained the entire summer, then 2 summers later, it rained once the whole summer and our backyard turned into sand, yeah it is freaky weather around here, this summer so far has been rainy/sunny, but its rain for the next week.
