Wondering if your urban vegetables are getting the light they need? Here's a simple guide to assess your planter box sunlight. Most fruiting vegetables like tomatoes and peppers require 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Leafy greens can manage with 4-6 hours. To measure your sunlight, observe your boxes for a full day. Mark sunny spots every hour from morning to evening. Use a sun tracking app for precision. Notice plant clues: leggy growth, small leaves, and poor fruiting signal insufficient light. Conversely, scorched leaves may indicate too much intense afternoon sun. Maximize light by placing boxes on south-facing balconies, using reflective surfaces, and avoiding shade from buildings. Rotate planters periodically for even exposure. Remember, sunlight patterns change with seasons, so reassess periodically for a thriving urban harvest.
