The independent variable in an experiment is the factor that is manipulated or controlled by the gardener to test its effect on the dependent variable. In this case, the independent variable would be the amount of light each plant receives. This is because the gardener can change the amount of light exposure to examine its impact on the height of the plants, the circumference of the fruit, or the number of fruit per plant.
