Bringing in tomato plants
I have. here, read casual references to "bringing in tomato plants".
This year, I have a zillion volunteer tomato plants, mostly the cherry varieties. Can I bring any of them indoors, treat them like sun- loving house plants and expect any of them to bear useful fruit? cheers oz, down with a nasty cold |

Tomatoes want full sun, and unless you have a very fortunate window arrangement, you'll need to augment the natural light with plant lights. Probably 1000-2000 watts would suffice. That will cost more than a packet of seeds. |

They would be in a large window facing due south of a room with white walls and large mirrors -- light bouncing all over the place. It is a guest bathroom. Thank you cheers oz |

But, see jangclub's response. Fruit? Forget it. Living plants, probably, but not happy ones. |
