Five Reasons to Vegetable Garden Indoors

You are probably wondering why anyone would bother with indoor vegetable gardening.  Perhaps you are trying to visualize a row of corn stalks marching down your living room, or of squash sprawling across your dining room table?  Not to worry – we will not go that far!

Five Reasons to Vegetable Garden Indoors:

1.  No sunny spaces.  Possibly your yard is too shady, or you live in an apartment or townhouse that does not have a sunny balcony, window, deck or patio.
2. No time.  Your work/school schedule does not leave you enough time to tend to an outdoor garden with all the tilling, planting, fertilizing, weeding, insect controlling and watering it requires.
3. Climate.  You live in an area that is too hot, too cold, too rainy or too dry.
4. Too much wildlife.  You live in an area with wildlife that enjoys the benefits of your labor while you are left with nothing but empty stalks, vines and stems.
5. Disability/Age.  You are unable to bend, stoop, squat or kneel due to physical disabilities or age.

Can you think of any other reasons?  Would love to hear your comments!

  Many communities have what are called “pea patches” where you are given a certain amount of space to grow things in. Of course you can do “Hydrophonics” in your home. But even then corn would probably be out of the question
