I'm new to gardening and have a small Juliet balcony that's about 1x6 feet and 4 feet high, with a vertical metal railing. It's south-facing and gets a lot of direct sunlight. Can I successfully grow indeterminate cherry tomatoes on this balcony, or will I need to use cages for support?

You might be able to grow them, but you'll definitely need some kind of support like a trellis or stakes since indeterminate tomatoes keep growing and can get pretty tall. Cages are an option, but they might take up more space than you have. Do you have any images of your balcony setup?
Support is key for indeterminate tomatoes! Cages can work, but since your balcony's small, consider using a trellis that can lean against the railing. That way, they can grow vertically without taking up too much floor space. Make sure to provide regular watering and nutrients since they'll need it in the sun!
