Just a quick update on my indoor Dwarf Tomato progress, The fruit is finally ripening and I tried my first fresh tomato last week. The taste was spectacular, especially when compared to the tasteless hot-house tomatoes available in local supermarkets.
The Micro Tom Dwarf Tomatoes are loaded with fruit and continue to develop blossoms. I am anxious to see just how long they will continue to bare fruit. They are growing near a window that gets intense morning sunlight and under four 24" T5 Florescent bulbs set for 16 hours per day. The fruit is about 1" cherry tomato size and the plants are about 12" tall and growing in 8" half gallon pots. I think they would also do well in hanging baskets.

Red Robin Dwarf Tomatoes
The Red Robin tomatoes are a larger plants that require bigger pots and some support. They are about 18-24" tall growing in gallon pots under Florescent bulbs. The fruit is just turning ripe and seems to be about 1.5 - 2" in size. I am using Peat based soilless Pro-Mix and bottom watering.
This is my first year with indoor tomatoes during our Alaska winter and I will be doing this again. …Why Not ?
