At least you get heat! Perhaps if you had taken more care with watering???
I would normally grow tomatoes in our greenhouse but because we are away
such a lot, I have tomato plants in my aerogarden and I have flower buds on

Don't give up. I am sure you could grow them if you had more time to spend
on them do you think? Good luck if you do
