The pots are now on the east side of the house. In a few weeks, they will be in full shade,

You move yours based on the sun, or the sun moves relative to your pots? It is a serious question.

Being down here, in the heat, my tomatoes are on the south side of the house until we are in the 90’s. Then we’re on the east side until we reach the 100’s. Once we get there, the plants are in full shade 24/7, in my carport.

Tomatoes (other than Heatwave) are DORMANT above 86 degrees.
They won’t ripen, pollinate, fill out or anything else.

In this climate, those things happen at NIGHT.
