I'm hoping no, they are quite an early producer, If they can do a good bit of growing this next month, then that should carry them through. They would grow better if they were out in the greenhouse, but with LB and mould about, I think it would be a problem. The plants are very compact and damp air would spell doom for them. I'm keen to see if they can be grown as a house plant. It's a big ask, more so with falling light levels.

I somehow expected currant tomatoes or cherries, but these look like very tiny beefsteaks? Interesting shape. Is it the lighting or are the flowers far more orange than normal tomato flowers? What a joy to have flowering/setting tomatoes at this time of year and I am delighted for you that they are setting fruit

So far there has been a mix of fruit types and some plants have given both round and the cute beefy types. Flower colour in the picture might be down to lower light levels, though they do look a nice rich yellow, I'll compare to another type, but I think they are fairly regular. Thanks, I'm loving having flowering toms even if they are a 'toy' type! Having said that, one I grew this summer had good flavour and was certainly one to aim for agian.

Sadly no, only a few more fruits. Temperature has been just too low and damp
I've brought them into the house but I think too little too late. They may perk up and get a second flush of flowers later on and I'm eagerly awaiting ripening of the few fruits.

Flowering happily 7 weeks before the shortest day means that from a light point of view they should be happy at 7 weeks after the shortest day, which is second week February if my mental arithmetic is right. If heat or lack of it is more of a factor than light conditions (not sure which is the more important) then they should pick up indoors quite fast. Indoors and grow lights to give an early November day length should mean they carry on growing nicely over winter. Something like 9 or 10 hours of daylight? Can't get the astronomy calculator to work atm. Hope they will thrive. Plants that have fruit to ripen are probably more 'programmed' to keep growing than plants that don't. Good luck little toms.
