Unless you are prepared to pay for heavy duty sun lamps and to keep the
room warm (but not too dry) I think you are not getting any tomatoes in
future years either.

Hmm ok I guess the lack of light is the issue. The plants are tall and
probably spindly by definition. Over the summer I got one lonely flower
on one out of the eleven plants, but it withered and died after a week,
a bit like my ambitions of a bumper crop.

I am not prepared to run lamps on these plants but will relocate them to
a sunny outdoor balcony when the weather improves next year. Of course
being Glasgow I could be waiting a long time.


Shortening days after longer days may help flowering. Tall spindly plants likely
mean insufficient light.
