Does indoor tomato plants last all year long if grown from seeds from the supermarket?

It depends on the type of tomato plant you are growing. The type called "indeterminate" grow almost forever. This is the type used in hydroponic greenhouses. I have seen stems on them over 20 feet long! You say "indoor tomato plants"- you can't grow a tomato in your house, there isnt enough sunlight...they need full sun. Also, I would not recommend using seed from the supermarket...buy a packet of seed, then you know what you are getting.

no tomato plants are annual plants and grow from seed each year :)
Reply:you get only one harvest from a tomato plant, if you live in Florida like I do you can plant all year , but after the harvest, you have to re plant
Reply:they might. keep near a sunny window. also keep away from too much draft and away from heaters.



when flowers appear shalk the plant a few times gently yet firmly. many not grow the best quality of tomatoes since when boughts at a nursury is checks to make sure the taste is high in quality
Reply:As stated, indeterminate will continue to grow as long as conditions are good. They can be grown indoors if given adequate light. My grandma kept a plant in her living room so she could have fresh tomatos all year. Indeterminate types however tend to get too large for indoors.

My brother had a yellow pear tomato ( indeterminate ) that would look almost dead during the Winter in So. Cal. but would come back in the Spring. It lived three years in spite of his attmpts to kill it. You can only eat so many of them!
