Default Growing Tomatoes

Hi I have recently moved into a new house that has a 8 x 6 greenhouse in the
garden and want to grow my own tomatoes. What is the correct time for
sowing the seed indoors on the windowsill so I can plant the plants in the
greenhouse. I live in central Scotland. Also would I be better with pots or
growbags as the greenhouse is sitting on slabs, no borders.

The previous owner removed everything from inside although he left the
bubble polythene insulation. Should I leave this on all year or remove it in
the spring. I do not envisage doing anything with the greenhouse for a month
or two. I also have an old electric fan heater that I might use if needed.

I have grown tomatoes before in a polythene lean-to directly in the ground
and used to get the plants from a neighbour but this time I shall have to
grow my own so thought I would try some yellow tomatoes and some cherry
tomatoes any suggestions as to what would grow best in an unheated
greenhouse

Thanks Jackie
