What kind of vegetables can I grow inside my house during the winter months? It snows in my area.?

Answer 1

I would think if you started them from seed, you could grow tomato or pepper plants. I was considering bringing in my pepper plants because they are still flowering and it is getting close to frost in my area but I also recently learned that vegtable plants max out so to speak...like they only flower for so long and they eventually stop producing so I decided against bringing them in. It can't hurt to try to grow something from seed.

Answer 2

Many leafy crops, root crops, tomatoes, and other vegetables can be grown indoors during the cold months of the year.

The rules are a little different when growing vegetables indoors. Temperature, pollination, and light requirements need more careful consideration than when one grows produce outside. The fertilization needs are also a bit different when gardening crops indoors.

Most leaf crops such as lettuce, endive, swiss chard and the like require cooler indoor temperatures. Tomatoes, sweet and hot peppers, cucumbers and beans do require warmer daytime and nighttime temperatures in order to flower and set fruit.
Pollination is something that will have to be done manually.

You can have hanging baskets, pots, and planters filled with various crops that will perform fairly well if lighting, pollinating, watering, fertilizing, and temperature requirements are met.

Answer 3

If you have a "greenhouse" style window on the south side of your house, or a LARGE, south facing sunny window, you should be able to do most herbs, and anything that doesn't require a long growing season, and doesn't get very large in habit. Radishes, peas (trellising them inside might be problematic)...if your soil containers are big enough, and your window is large and sunny, you might push the envelope and grow beets & kale too.
