While it’s not quite the same as planting outside in the garden, and space is definitely not as plentiful, you can successfully grow lots of plants inside all winter! Here are more than 18 plants to grow inside to help provide homegrown food all year long!
Spinach is a cool weather crop that can be grown outside even in cool weather. But if you get a lot of hard frosts then growing it indoors might be a better option. Spinach is quick to grow and it a long harvest.
Lettuce is another cool weather crop that can grow quickly indoors. It doesn’t need a lot of space and can grow in fairly shallow container.
Mushrooms are pretty easy to grow and very quick. We grew oyster mushrooms one year from a kit my son got in the mail and it was a lot of fun and very rewarding.
Microgreens and sprouts are about the quickest and easiest plant to grow inside. In only a couple days you can have a large amount of fresh greens or sprouts to cook, eat fresh, or use in a salad.
Like chard, Kale can tend to get larger than some of the other greens, but it’s still a great plant to grow inside, plus the leaves won’t get quite as large when grown inside.
