Default I need help regarding Tomato Plants!

I don't have any garden space but am interested in growing a tomato
plant.


Tomatoes are full-sun plants. This means direct sunlight for at least
6hrs/day. Not indirect light; not even *bright* indirect light. You
can use various indoor lighting schemes to approximate correct
lighting conditions, and mini 'patio' type tomato, if you like. If you
just want an interesting indoor plant with some culinary interest, you
might try one of the "ornamental" peppers. They also need as much
light as possible, but might be a more attractive solution to bringing
the outdoors indoors. BTW, if you have any patio/balcony space,
there are many ways to grow in pots.
