One word answer. Compost. More words? Lots and lots of compost. Sun. At least 6 hours per day. If you cannot get that plant them somewhere else.My next-door neighbor has a very shady yard and we have tried for several years to grow tomatoes, any and every variety in raised beds. I think he has finally realized that he just needs to plant something else next spring and come over to my yard for tomatoes. -

Pots or raised beds so you can amend the soil.
