Hot take: my balcony tomatoes actually grew better after I stopped babying them
I started my first balcony garden in April here in Austin. I was out there every morning checking soil moisture, rotating pots, and talking to my cherry tomato plant like it was a sick pet. Around week 6 I got busy with work and barely touched them for 10 days. When I finally went back out, the tomatoes had doubled in size and the plant was way bushier than before. Has anyone else noticed their plants do better when you back off and let them figure stuff out?

Talking to it like a sick pet lmao thats the most relatable thing Ive ever read. I bet all that worrying was stressing the plant out more than anything else. Plants are weird like that.
