I used to grow micro toms in my window of my pantry they don't get very big look them up you might have success with them . I just stopped growing them in the window where there is a plant shelf that my husband built when we bought this house . Now my African violets are in there .
When I lived near Chicago, I started seeds indoors in early Feb and transplanted them to a hoop house in late March. By mid June I was harvesting fruits and continued well into November. I moved to WI last year and our first spring here was cool & cloudy-- the hoop house never heated up adequately and the effort was a bust.
Tomatoes don't absolutely require pollinators to produce fruit, so growing indoors is possible if hi enough temps and light levels are maintained. Before cheap refrigeration & shipping made imports from Mexico etc practical, "hot house tomatoes" were regularly available in northern grocery stores.
My husband has successfully grown them indoors, but the fruits all tended to be mealy and not particularly good-tasting. He's tried everything from cherry tomatoes to bigger, beefier tomatoes. We've decided we will just enjoy the summer tomatoes we grow and then dream about them all winter.
You can do it in warm climates. You can do it in moderate climates with a green house and lights. You can do it in cold climates with a greenhouse, lights, and supplemental heat.
Away from the equator, you'd have to add grow lights to keep the needed length of day during winter.
Yes. Year round. Grape tomatoes in summer and winter. In winter I can grow the beefsteaks as well.
