Indoor Gardening

If you have a nice sunny window, a box of herbs for you meals is a good thing. Also, I've grown lettuce in a little greenhouse in the winter. If you have a way to keep a sun room warm enough in the night for your little plants, you could keep yourself in greens all winter. I think greens are the best vege for me. It's so easy to throw spinach in with my eggs in the morning, or for a salad at lunch and dinner. They are great in soup or just steamed. Kale is great with raisins for winter, and in the spring with garlic and green onions. Growing green onions or chives indoors is realistic. Keep your little thyme plant for seasoning, and perhaps a little oregano. Of course rosemary will usually winter over--although I've had a few plants die during colder winters. I'm thinking about cilantro as an easy indoor grow, and how about mustard. You can also just do the sprouts and have lots of nutrition easily. Sunflower sprouts, mung bean sprouts, lentil sprouts, etc. Just get a sprouting jar. I'm onto this now--can't stop me. Sprouting Made Easy

Holy moly,
