No, they are just on a sunny window sill.  They have put on a fair amount of growth in the last couple of weeks.  The small ones are Micro and the taller ones are Tiny Tim.

My tomatoes are inside the house and now have some flowers.  Will they get pollinated by by insects that enter the house or do they need help ?  If so what ?

Before I scrolled down I was just about to say "d**n, images removed" :)
They look great Georgie, I must remember to sow earlier next year.

Too right Star and so are both of the mini greenhouses, almost.   ::)   ;D

Davholla, I often leave my smaller toms inside all summer and they don't seem to need any help.  I assume turning them everyday so they grow evenly is enough.   :)

Thanks Lorna.  I only grow small bush varieties and I'm certain that these crop earlier than cordon types.

Toms self-pollinate so no need to worry about insects. It's very easy to save seed as well.

I had a few in the greenhouse earlier and they looked a bit sd so bought them in.They still appear sad and haven't grown.

Is it worth sticking withe them as they are taking up the kitchen table

I wouldn't want to chuck anything out that had a chance but they don't seem to be growing at all ?
