Location of a tomato plant

AZGardener · April 14, 2015

Hi guys- I'm in Phx, AZ where our temps can reach 120 in July/Aug. Usually our season ends in June/July for tomatoes. With all that in mind, I haven't grown a full year in this house and the house has a north facing bed that is shaded by the house and might get an hour of sunlight in June. Do you think a tomato plant would survive with indirect light and those high temps? Soon I will be covering my garden with shade cloth so it will be getting mostly indirect sunlight. I haven't tried planting a plant in the shade yet? Just curious what everyone thinks... I'm thinking about risking a plant or two and trying it....

Thanks in advance! Kelly
