As the cost of food rises, growing your own produce is starting to sound more appealing. For those that don’t have access to a garden, that does not mean it can’t be done. There are many vegetables that will grow indoors—you just need to learn how. With some good soil and light and a lot of care and attention, you will have a nice vegetable patch.
You first need to find a large enough container for the roots to have room to grow, with a hole for drainage. Plant your veggie scraps or seeds using some indoor soil and put them in front of a window that gets sunlight. Summer is the best time to start growing your own veggies and you want to make sure the soil stays moist.
Here is a list of some of the vegetables you can grow in the comfort of your home.
Carrots
Carrots don’t need so much space around them so you can grow a lot of them in a small space indoors, with a lot of light.
Potatoes
Potatoes are really easy to grow if you use the scraps of sprouted potatoes. Cut them into pieces and lay the sprout side up on at least four inches of soil. Cover them in more soil, and make sure to keep them covered, and you will have potatoes in about two months.
Tomatoes
Growing tomatoes indoors is possible—you just want to make sure they get a lot of light during the day, so they are best grown in the summer. Also choose a smaller variety, so they have more chance of growing.
