How do you grow tomato plants inside, will they bloom and produce?

We grow them on window ledges. Make sure they have light and plenty of water and feed and you'll have a bumper crop - although you won't be able to see through the window.How do you grow tomato plants inside, will they bloom and produce?
Go to your local garden store or Walmarts and buy starter mix, containers such as single cell and of course tomato seeds. Moisten the starter mix and place in the cells. Don't over water. Test the starter mix by squeezing the mix. Water should not come out. Put a seed in the center of each cell and cover lightly. I use Parks e-z cells. You do not need light for the seeds to germinate. The seeds will germinate in about 10 days. Keep the cover over the plants and place under lights. The lights can be grow lights, fluorescent lights or incandescence lights. You will need to check the soil to make sure it doesn't dry out. Do not water the plants itself. Always water from the bottom. Once the plants have three full leaves you can put them in individual pots. (I use the ones left over from last years flowers.) I sterilized them first, with 1 part bleach and 3 parts water. After transplanting I keep them under lights until I can move them on the porch or by the window due to the temperature outside. I add fish emulsion to bottle of water when I water the plants.( 1 cap full of fish emulsion to gallon of water.) You get good roots. Once the temperature is warm and no danger of frost, you can put them in the ground or in a large pot and grow on the patio. They will bloom and you will get tomatoes as long as the the weather is hot.How do you grow tomato plants inside, will they bloom and produce?
