The tomato plant in the sunny location of tranquil part of the garden will have medium-size because it will receive the optimal amount of sunlight and will not be exposed to strong wind. The tomato plant on the windy and sunny hill nearby would have small leaves and be shorter because it will receive stronger winds that will dry out the plant and cause the leaves to fall off. The tomato plant in the shady part of the garden would be spindly with big leaves because it will not receive enough sunlight and will stretch its stem to reach for light.
