What's an easy plant to grow for an apartment?

Question

I recently moved into an apartment and I'm very interested in growing my own veggies. Mostly peppers and herbs. I was thinking about something small I could keep out in the patio.

Also, is there any veggies that I can grow indoors? Please keep in mind I'm a single guy in a tiny apartment so it doesn't have to be a huge arrangement.

thanks

Answer 1

Since winter is coming on, you should plant winter vegetables. Things like peas, beans, broccoli, cabbage, radishes, and lettuce. I once grew about a half-dozen red romaine lettuce plants. Every three days or so, I could go remove the outermost leaves of each plant and have enough for a good salad. I just kept doing that all winter until they finally went to seed in spring.

Peas are pretty rewarding, too. When they're immature, the pods are edible, and the raw peas are sweet and crunchy. If you have a handful of plants, you can get enough pea pods for a little snack every couple of days. Or, you can collect the peas and keep them in the fridge for a side dish every week or so. Or, put the raw peas in the salad you made with your lettuce.

Herbs can be grown inside in a window planter. Basil, oregano, and parsley are very easy to grow. And, you can use the fresh basil to make a balsamic vinagrette dressing for the salad you made with your lettuce and peas.

Tomatoes need at least 5 gallon containers, but if they're staked or caged, they'll grow upwards and take up less room. Potatoes are also possible in containers. Again, a fairly big container. Indoors I suggest getting a grow light and planting lettuce or other salad greens. They have lettuce varieties such as Tom Thumb that grow into individual-sized salads. Or you can grow Mesclin and just keep cutting leaves off to make a salad.

Herbs ought to be in solar, exterior. in the event that they get that, they are going to flourish. otherwise, attempt a philodendron, pothos (scindapsis), peace lilies, sansevaria (better half's mom's tounge or snake plant), aglaonemas, peperomias, ivy, even spider plant life. maximum of it relies upon on what form of sunshine you have, diverse plant life choose diverse lights. maximum philos, sansevaria, pothos and peace lilies can tolerate very low mild. solid success! = D
