Did you know you can grow veggies without a garden? I didn’t either! But now my windows are full of fresh greens.
It’s amazing! I’ll tell you about 12 easy ways to grow veggies inside.
It’s changed how my family eats, and it’s so simple!
1. Green Onions
Growing Near Bright Windows
One of my first successes was growing green onions. I found they thrive beautifully near a bright window. It’s so satisfying to snip fresh green onions for my morning omelet right from my kitchen sill!
2. Garlic
Harvesting Greens and Bulbs Indoors
Garlic has been another winner in my indoor garden. I harvest both the greens and bulbs right from my living room. The kids love watching the greens sprout up so quickly!
3. Tomatoes
Cherry Tomatoes in Pots
Cherry tomatoes have become a family favorite. With a south-facing window, these little red gems flourish in pots. My daughter loves plucking them straight off the vine for her lunchbox.
4. Sweet Potatoes
Propagation on Kitchen Windows
Sweet potatoes are surprisingly easy to grow indoors. I propagate them in glass jars on my kitchen window. It’s like a science experiment and a garden all in one!
5. Ginger
Cultivation in Filtered Sunlight
Ginger has been a game-changer for my cooking. It grows wonderfully in filtered sunlight, and I use every part of it in my recipes. The aroma when I harvest it is divine!
6. Lettuce
Using a Salad Table
Lettuce is perfect for indoor cultivation. I use a salad table that I can easily move to my balcony for extra sunlight. Fresh salads have never been so convenient!
7. Eggplants
Creating a Sunny and Warm Environment
Eggplants were a bit challenging at first, but I found success by placing them in our sunniest, warmest room. Now, we enjoy homegrown baba ganoush regularly!
8. Mint
Sunlight Requirements
Mint has been a delightful addition to our indoor garden. It thrives with just 3-4 hours of direct sunlight. My afternoon tea has never been fresher!
9. Celery
Regeneration from Scraps
I love how celery can be regenerated from scraps. I place the 2-inch stump in water or potting soil, roots down. It’s a great way to reduce waste and always have celery on hand.
10. Herbs
Window Sill Gardens
Our window sills have become mini herb gardens. Small pots of basil, thyme, and rosemary not only look pretty but provide fresh flavors for our meals.
11. Edibles in Water
Small-Space Solutions
For the tiniest spaces, I’ve found success growing edibles in water. A small window sill or tabletop is all you need. It’s perfect for our cramped kitchen!
12. Mushrooms
Indoor Cultivation Techniques
Finally, mushrooms have been an exciting addition to our indoor garden. They don’t need much light and can be harvested in just 2-3 weeks. The kids find them fascinating to watch grow!
