Will tomatoes grow in the shade? I was thinking of moving my pots to an area with limited sun so they would not dry out as fast but am afraid that will just stop growth.

I feel ya. I used to grow on a balcony when I lived in an apartment. I think the general rule of thumb is that tomatoes need at least six hours of light per day. When I grew on my balcony, the plants probably only got about that much light. The results were not that great, in part due to the fact that the plants dried out so quick, but the low light levels surely contributed also.
