Is it possible to grow Toms indoors year round? I don't have an ideal
spot, being a utility room that gets a bit of sun during the day. It
will be fairly warm as the combi sits in there.
I'm planning to give it a go with a few side shoots I've snipped off
lately, is it worth bothering - or shall I give up now?

I've seen them grown in a school classroom. Don't know if they ripened
though. If I were a tomato sideshoot I think I would rather that happen to
me than be put on a compost heap! I shall read your other posts with
interest.

We had a few gardeners delight seedlings left last year and grew them on a
windowsill.
We got a few tomatoes off them, but it wasn't really worth the effort - and
they don't look particularly pretty on the window sill!

Are they sensitive to light intensity and day length?
You may need broad spectrum artificial light to get them to grow well
through the winter.

I have no idea.

This is rapidly becoming a "stick it in a pot and see what happens" type
of plan.

I'd really only bother for the fun of it, and with only "a bit of sun
every day" I doubt if there'd be much fun. I took some through to
Christmas in a south-facing window six feet high and about six wide in
West Wales; but long before Christmas they'd definitely become a waste
of space. A better gardener than I, and fresher plants than I was
using, would have done a bit better, but I don't think anybody can do
very much good without a well-organized glass-house once summer's
gone.
