First time ever growing tomatoes. I have two celebrity, one red beefsteak, one better boy plus, and one bush goliath. The pics of the tomatoes are from tonight. I’ve been using an electric toothbrush on the flowers because I never see any bees/butterflies this high up.

Also I am in zone 7b/8a and face southwest.
Best recommendation is to pick varieties that stay small. There are lots of good determinate options but some of those get pretty big.
Since you already have the plants for this season, stay on top of pruning suckers for any indeterminate varieties.
Make a plan to replace them 1 or 2 times over the summer with new tomatoe plants.?.?.
I would just them grow until they hung off the edge and my neighbors could grab a couple!
How tall is your space?
Next year, you can build a more robust structure to support more vertical growth.
