Here's an idea for a very manageable, quick-to-mature cherry: Sweet Baby Girl.
I haven't grown tomatoes indoors but these were such tasty cherries that I really should grow them in the open garden as well as containers. Last year, I had Sweet Baby Girls in 8" pots lined up on the steps leading into the backyard. They grew nearly as large there in the full sun as the few I put in the open garden did.
In developing this variety, someone put some real emphasis on flavor, as well as the small plant size. Sweet Baby Girls are hybrids but I see the seeds in the garden center, so they must be popular
It takes sunlight, heat, and time for a tomato plant to mature a crop. Nothing can be left out and light is a little tricky with indoor gardening. Limited light & heat will increase the wait. Oh, the nutrients and water needs also have to be met.
Not all cherries are quick maturing. I've grown Large Red Cherry nearly every year for the past 35. At one time, I thought ALL cherries tended to be late but it was only because I had those big plants in my garden. I also wonder about "Micro Tom" and its 88 days-to-maturity. Supposed to be the "ideal house plant" but if that 88 days was in the outdoors, I probably could never get a ripe tomato before frost. With limited light indoors . . . ?
