I used to work in a school. One year a batty teacher brought in a tomato plant and grew it on the window sill of her room. Although it looked out of place in a computer lab to my surprise it grew huge and was covered in tomatoes!

My windowsill tomatoes go into 3l pots. I have tried 2l pots but they are a bit small and the plants don't tend to do well.
