I’ll bet you can get cherry-types to fruit for you indoors. I’ve done that. Also, peppers seem to do pretty good indoors with enough light and heat. I’ve kept Habanero pepper plants through the winter months before.
As much light as possible for your tomatoes, though; add supplemental grow-lights so they can get 16 hours on and 8 hours off, and Tomato Tone or another tomato-specific fertilizer might help.
This past March when I started seedlings in the basement under lights, they were a little spindly, so I upped the timer to 16 on/8 off. Worked like a charm until it was warm enough for them to go into the unheated greenhouse.
You can only fool Mother Nature to a certain extent, but have fun trying! ;)
My Habanero peppers are going gang busters. I planted them, I guess as a novelty, and now am wondering what to do with them once they mature. I can my jalapenos and roast them fresh on the grill. I dry my Cayenne. I am wondering what in the world I am going to do with these super hot Habaneros?
Thanks! I just got a timer for my lights, so I’ll set it for that. I think some of them are cherries, but my memory keeps playing tricks on me so I’m not sure anymore.
Unfortunately this house only has one south-facing window, and its taken up by the dining room table. That, and my bedroom is the only place that’s out of kitty reach.
The outdoor plants should do fine, but I’m determined to get these indoor ones to produce!
Could you tell me what you think of "Miracle-Gro for Tomatoes?"
