Indoor Winter Veggies

Where should I grow my vegetables ?

Conservatories and windowsills are good places to grow vegetables. Place heavy containers on the floor or  a firm support. Some veggies, including trailing species are suitable for growing in hanging baskets fitted with whole drip trays. 
  





What vegetables can I grow indoors during winter ?

( Tomatoes, Peppers, Eggplants )
These easily raised tender crops are the best for a sunny windowsill and can be grown from seeds or plantlets. Fow window boxes or hanging baskets, choose pendant varieties, such as Tumbler tomatoes. Train cordon varieties such as Sweet Million tomatoes up canes or string in a conservatory, where they are guaranteed to produce long lines of tasty, decorative tomatoes for several months.


( Carrots and Radishes ) 
Most root crops need greater depth than you can provide indoors, but radishes, especially round or globe varieties that do not root very deeply are perfect and grow very well in troughs, boxes and pans. Round carrot varieties are also very successful in pots and boxes.
 






( Potatoes )
Seed tubers used in outdoor planting are easily grown in large pots, buckets or even sacks. As simple as this sounds they produce worthwhile crops of tasty new potatoess.




( Mushrooms )
 Mushrooms are an ideal indoor crop for any time of the year, especially winter. Prepared bags of compost with mushroom produce only need watering before being left in a draft free, dark space. If you make sure the mushrooms are kept between ten and fifteen degrees celsius, you are sure to have produced multiple crops of mushrooms just a few weeks later.
