Default Husky Cherry in winter

This is the same plant as in the above photo. The plant is from October and is in a pot. The plant looks horrible except for the top growth. The tomatoes have taken a loooooong time to ripen. They're a little mushy and the flavor is not as good as in the summer. I just wanted to see if I could grow tomatoes outside n the winter.

Default Mystery tomato

This has been growing in total neglect in a yard waste/compost heap. Although it's had flowers for months, they are just now beginning to set fruit. In the background are elephant ears, also volunteers.

Would be nice to duplicate that feat at the normal planting time outdoors.
The tomatoes tasted like real tomatoes.
The second batch will be ripe soon.
The big one is 1.5 inches in diameter.
More blossoms at the top.
The curtain is a silver foil material originally designed for sun bathers.
It reflects the sun/heat back onto the plant.

Admirable. I don't have enough light in the winter season (I would need strong lamps for tomatoes to survive), and every time I have tried to keep tomatoes indoors, they have sooner or later begun to develop diseases ..
So, i don't even attempt that adventure .. but congratulate those of you who can

Once a plant gets that tall indoors I take cuttings and clone the plant.
It is over 4 feet tall now.By spring I will have clones to plant outside.
