# I wanted to post these pics as a source of encouragement to not give…

_Posted by Sarah on 2025-07-08_

I wanted to post these pics as a source of encouragement to not give up and to be patient. Here’s a pic of my tomato plant 28 days ago and another pic of it yesterday. I wondered for weeks if it would survive but decided if it wasn’t brown and crispy then I’d let it keep going. I’m glad I did because it’s taken off. I may not get tomatoes until Winter 🤣 but I’m just happy it’s thriving!

Your plant looks great! Maybe try putting it in a little more direct sunlight for majority of the day and see if it helps them, my tomatoes thrived in the sun on my balcony last year! 😊

Thank you! They are in direct light most of the day; this photo was taken in the evening.
