I don’t actually have any experience with winter (inside) gardening. If you have access to enough light (a southern window), maybe you could try some container gardening techniques. If your house stays warm enough for the type of plant you’re growing, you should be able to grow it. The plants don’t really care what the season is – the conditions just need to be right to grow it. Maybe lettuces, spinach, radishes, carrots, or onions could be a small start. You could try tomatoes or peppers if you have big enough pots and a good spot.

Let me know if you try any of those suggestions!

But like you said, the best part about gardening is eating your own stuff and eating stuff that simply tastes better than what you can get in the store. I see the time spent as therapeutic so it’s really not “work.”

I poke around the interwebs from time to time, thank you for your compliments.

Yes, the initial costs can be high, but then you get to reuse a lot of materials the second year and later on. I think the first year may often be a loss or wash for most people, but from then on you’re usually going to do pretty well. It just depends on how frugal you try to be while doing it! But it shouldn’t just be a financial decision because it does require a time commitment and there are intangible benefits that you can’t put a $ to.

Thanks for the comment! I enjoy your blog greatly, so I’m very happy to see you reading mine!!!
