I have just planted some meteor peas in a pot on the windowsill to see if I can get some pea shoots but I'll also be planting some out on the allotment under glass for hopefully a spring harvest. The small unheated greenhouse I have will house the newly planted spud bags once it has been emptied of tomatoes, aubergines and chillis and maybe a shelf of salad leaves if I get my act together. Indoors is really only made use of in early spring as a "maternity wing" for germinating seeds - will definitely be starting the BNS seeds earlier next year to give them a sporting chance to ripen.

Benefits of indoor gardening
There are many reasons why indoor gardening is increasing in popularity. When properly configured, a good hydroponics system can be much more economical and efficient than traditional garden soil. Here are some of the benefits of growth in the interior:
Fruits and vegetables grown in hydroponic gardens inside has been shown to contain more vitamins and usually have better flavor than cultivated soil products.
Indoor gardening allows you to grow throughout the year, especially useful for those in extreme cold or hot climates.
A greater number of plants can be grown in small spaces because they require less space between plants. Most hydroponics systems can be tailored to fit odd-shaped areas, allowing greater flexibility.
The removal of the soil reduces the risk of the disease and dramatically reduces water consumption. Indoor hydroponic systems are easier to maintain than soil gardens because there is no soil preparation work required (weeding, plowing, etc.)
