Growing an Indoor Edible Garden – Video

Growing an Indoor Edible Garden

With November, the outdoor gardening season is definitely over. However, the planting and growing here at Northern Homestead is not over. We have only moved from the outdoors to the indoors. We grow sprouts on the kitchen counter, herbs in a sunny window, and a real indoor garden in our Food Production Garage.

In this video I take you on a tour to inspire you to be growing an indoor edible garden in the kitchen and food production garage. Hope you enjoy it. To see the video on YouTube go here.

We grow food the Kratky way and in our Tower Garden. Hydroponics has proven to be the easiest and most effective way to grow edible plants indoors. We want to embrace and inspire people to grow more food, to grow healthy.

Tower Garden gives you more control over your familyโ€™s health by making it easy to grow fresh, nutritious produce.

I also show the tomatoes grown from cuttings, here is a link to How to grow tomatoes from cutting.

What edible plants are you growing indoors? Please share in the comment bellow. We would love to hear it.

We invite you to subscribe to Northern Homestead and follow us on Facebook or Pinterest so you don’t miss a thing.

      Thank you, yes the Tower Garden is a real food machine. I just harvested those nice spinach leaves I show you in the video, so good. I think every household should have at least one Tower Garden.

    “What edible plants are you growing indoors?”

    Currently I’m trying to grow some chilies (Chinese 5 color and Hungarian hot wax), several kinds of tomatoes and bell peppers using an improvised Kratky-setup. I’m using some cheap insulated cups as reservoirs, net pots filled with clay pebbles in there and the seeds are in rockwool cubes stuffed in between the clay pebbles.

    A bunch of the seeds have germinated and some already have several pairs of leaves. So that’s good ๐Ÿ™‚ Now for the long wait of actually growing tomatoes, chilies and bell pepers.

      Glad to read an update on your set up Bart! Hope you got some good grow lights for your tomatoes, chilies and bell peppers, since those are summer crops and love the heat and sunshine. But, it is all about the experiment, just keep on growing and you will see what works best for you.
      We mostly grow greens in the winter: Lettuce, spinach, kale, kohlrabi, herbs…. Those do well indoors. I do have some tomatoes too, but as you see in the video, those are grown from and for cuttings.

        There are no grow lights, unless you count that big bright thing up in the sky. The plants are placed next to a window on the side of the house that catches most light during the day, so they get enough sunlight. I am not using grow lights because of the power requirements, so unless someone knows a good low power (LED?) solution, I’ll stick to the sun.
