Container Gardening Indoors

New York & Terrell, TX(Zone 8b)

Gardening is often considered an outside passtime; however an adequate garden can be grown in the home with the use of containers! The options are endless, requiring only a container, good growing conditions and lots of care.

This is the link; tell me what you think.

Hhmmmm....

The use of "summer kitchens' as a spot?
Enclosed front or back porch?
Basement?

The bathroom(s) have always been used as an incubator.
But can all my 'Tropicals' and 'Catci' get used to more friends?

Hhmmmmm.....
I think I need to find another (bigger) place to live.

Maybe they would all like their own 'Bed-room' to have a 'sleep-over' in?
Many, many new thoughts here.
Don't burst my _Bubble Train_ here.
Requires new soil, some more things... making a list and checking it twice.

Interesting comments on your link. I long to be able to grow salad greens in winter, inside, or an attached lean-to greenhouse ala Eliot Coleman.

My problem with growing inside with containers has always been water. I finally had 2 waterproof galvanized trays with 3" sides made. Gravel in the bottom, plants sit above. Catches all overfill. Made to fit tops of 2 short bookcases that sit just below windowsills.

Not enough space even for all the plants I have to bring inside for winter, much less a space to grow lettuce.

darius, Home Depot sells 'Washing Machine Trays' at a reasonable price $10 to $12. That's what I've used in the past.

Thanks, NatureWalker, but doubt I have enough space this year.
