Recently, there was a program on the Belgian television about urban vegetable gardens. One of the ‘gardens’ shown was an indoor ‘window’ garden, that looked like the first window shown in this article

The owner of that garden in Antwerp had most herbs and salads in her window.

My indoor shelving with shop lights is still acting as shelving! But I have several things in mind to use it for, starting some time soon. Perhaps when I get a Round Tuit!

One is to raise cabbage, broccoil, brussels sprouts, etc. plants for this fall. And perhaps the shorter ones like cabbage could grow indoors if I still have open shelf space under the lights.

Another is to try indoor Sugar Snap Peas. It will be a long time till I can raise them outdoors again. Indoors they should not be bothered by the Hot Summer. I had some bush Sugar Snap Peas, but I used them all up this spring. Guess I should either look for some more or plan to shear them when they reach the shop light. Under the shop lights, they may not grow as high anyway. So I may just try the regular climbing seed that I already have on hand.

A third possibility is growing Lettuce indoors. That which I raised from seed indoors and I potted up outdoors never got all that big, were attacked and eaten badly, and have since died. I also got some systemic stuff for vegetables that should keep whiteflys from being an indoor problem. I’ll mix it in my watering water, along with the ferrilizer. And I have lots of Dipel. But surely I would need to apply that indoors.

I just took some photos of my indoor seed-starting and hopefully vegetable-growing year-round setup.

I’d sure appreciate if someone here on Folia who grows veggies indoors year-round would pipe up so I know who they are and I can follow their indoor veggie gardening over some time.

Thanks,
