What to Grow indoors

[Ebony]

i'm going to get some window boxes for herbs and lettuce if it will work (i can only try) someone said to me i could do cucumber, spring onions in a window boxes as well but i don't know much about them at the moment.

Unfortunately i dont have a big window in my kitchen, but my gran has offered to house the carrots i will plant.

That sounds good.

There's no reason why your lettuce and spring onions couldn't be successful in a window box, so go for it.

Cucumber plants can be quite big, and they need more space, and more soil to grow in than the others you have mentioned.

Hi Ebony, why not try a nice pepper plant in the window box, little hot ones like Apache, very handy for the chilli con carne hehe.

Or you could invest in a grow tent and buy an Led grow light there expensive to buy £400+ but they last a very long time plus there cheap to run 130w same as an average t.v and if you go down this route then you can grow nearly anything you want bannanas,apples would be difficult but possiable anything like cucumbers,strawberries would be a doddle

i'm in a first floor flat no one above just sky .......

Has your place got a flat roof, and if so would you be allowed to put some pots up there?

Old topic, but I came across it because I may be losing my garden soon and may have to take up houseplants.
Potatoes and grapes indoors though? You must be mad. Where are you growing the potatoes, in the bathtub? Grapes will need a conservatory, in fact I'd prefer it with more people with conservatories grew them since its an excellent use of the space, a good place for them and they look great. It also helps break up the utilitarian look a bit too.

Cucumbers will probably do fine but they'll take up a whole window. Strawberries will prefer a lower temperature. Tomatoes are good indoors though, they just stink a bit though.
I've attempted strawberries indoors - no fruit (it was winter, I needed greenery and they were summer fruiting. Probably also too hot, although their growth was good).
I've currently got a fig plant indoors and it is growing some breba figs and seems to do alright, although it's a bit big for the window really. I've also got peach seeds started, although they only like it hot when ripening fruit really.

Indoors in a window I'd try any of the crops associated with the med such as tomatoes and aubergines and figs and olives.
Some citrus trees such as tangerine or calamondin will grow indoors too but don't like the air too dry. If you have a ridiculously large south facing window then melons might be an option.

I've just grown some peashoots in a pot. They come up in no time. Good for salads, stirfries and just cooked with other veg.
