When I sow tomato seeds indoors I stick them on a shelf

against the conservatory window in full light. I like
the see the
little beggars come through stubby and dark green as
soon as they
break the surface. I'd think that tall weediness is
probably due to
insufficient light.

So the only person who has had success with indoor sowing
uses a conservatory? Does this mean that putting trays in
a normal house window usually produces weedy seedlings?

Pretty well, yes. Definitely at this time of year. Not a problem in
high summer.

You might do a bit better in a cooler room to slow down the growth (but
then you might not get good germination).

They will recover from being long and weedy, if you can plant them out
soon enough. Which means sowing later if the only place you have for
them is a windowsill.
