Have just been given a tomato plant about one foot high. We have a south
facing garden in north London. Would it make much difference to it, if I
brought it inside the house next to a south facing patio window? If it
would grow better tomatoes I would do it, even though I don't really have
room for it inside. (too many house plants in that location!)


Depends on the variety really. I grow Gardeners Delight in the greenhouse
and in the garden (against a SW facing wall) up here in Manchester, and
both do really well - although I'm convinced that the ones outside have a
slightly better flavour.

I agree about the flavour. I don't have enough room in the greenhouse for
all the tomatoes we want so I grow at least as many outside, have never had
a failed crop (although sometimes it's not as heavy as the more sheltered
ones) and the flavour is certainly better than indoor ones.
