Ask HN: Indoor Gardening – What to Grow?

2 points by dinisp89 7y ago

I live in a small NYC apartment with plenty of natural light. What are some things I can grow indoors (food-wise)?

Basil is easy and forgiving.

I agree with Mountain_Skies that basil is easy to grow and is tasty. About 6 weeks ago I ordered two sprout growing systems, one circular with 4 levels, and one rectangular with 2 levels. For about $20 I also bought a collection of different types of sprouting seeds, weighing about 1.5 pounds. Sprouts are great because you have something fresh to add to meals in just a few days. Currently, my wife and I order groceries delivered about every ten to twelve days so I start growing sprouts a few days before we will run out of fresh produce so we always have something fresh.

  Where did you buy your system? Would you recommend the same?

    We bought them from Amazon. The best one is: Kitchen Crop VKP1200 Deluxe Kitchen Seed Sprouter, | 6" Diameter Trays It is easier to clean than the other one.

Look up the website for your nearest "county extension" office. It will generally be a good source of gardening info for your specific location and may even have info specifically about container gardening.
