No Smoke just a Mirror

The light on my container tomato plant was created by using a mirror to reflect sunlight on it.
I discovered that the plants (that need 8 to 10 hours of sun) were moving to quickly into shade
so I place a mirror to reflect the sunlight back on the plant for longer exposure. Only time will tell if it works or not.
