Q. I have 2 porches and I wanted to get some plants for them! I’m on the second floor so they might not get direct sunlight all that much, not sure? Are there certain types that would be best? Also, could I get a tomato plant to keep on my back porch perhaps?

A. Simply look for plants that are listed for shade tolerance. One of the best patio tomatoes right now is Patio Princess hybrid from Burpee.
