What Vegetables Grow Well Indoors

Tips on Growing Vegetables Indoors in Winter

When the weather is less than friendly, it is a good idea to start an indoor vegetable garden. This way you can supplement your diet with lots of healthy vegetables and save money this winter.

When planning your indoor garden, you need to know what vegetables grow well indoors.

7 Helpful Hints on What Vegetables Grow Well Indoors

1) Tomatoes – Tomatoes are one of the easiest plants to grow, especially for beginners. They do need plenty of warmth and light, so be sure to grow these next to a window or get a UV grow light.

The shorter your days become, the more likely it is that you will need a grow light for your indoor garden.

2) Peppers – Like tomatoes, peppers are good beginner vegetables. But they, too, require a lot of light to produce food.

3) Herbs – Herbs are grown in kitchen windowsills everywhere. Just about any herb you can think of, from basil to cilantro to ginger, can be grown indoors.

Herbs are a great first step for indoor gardeners, as many herbs are happy with just a moderate amount of light.

4) Carrots – With a deep container, lots of light, and moist soil, carrots are another delicious and easy to grow indoor vegetable.

5) Mushrooms – They grow all over your yard, why not in your home? Mushrooms are super easy to grow, and your local garden supply will likely have kits to make it even easier.

The best thing about choosing to grow mushrooms indoors is that they aren’t fussy about light at all. In fact, they prefer the dark and grow best in the basement.

6) Micro-greens – You can use the seeds from just about any and every vegetable and “sprout” them. Sprouting is an easy and super healthy way to get tons of vitamins and nutrients.

The best part about sprouting? You have a nutritious harvest in just days instead of weeks.

7) Green onions and garlic – Green onions and garlic alike are easy to grow indoors and need very little tending.

Chives are a popular and super easy to grow member of the onion family that add a mild flavor to salads and any savory dish.

If you are careful to choose the right vegetables, growing an indoor garden can be a rewarding experience that will provide you with fresh food throughout the winter.
