| Hi Brandon. I haven't been here in quite awhile since it's so slow, so it's good to see somebody actually posting! I grow veggies in small spaces and give seminars on the subject, also. What do you grow? Sandy |

| hello Sandy... u give seminars on growing veg.s in small spaces? how cool! I live downtown and have literally NO space outside. But i do have a sunroom and some addt'l indoor space. Which candidates (if any) would u recommend for indoors... i only have south windows in the sunroom, all others are east. |

| Hi yogagrl. The only veggies that do well indoors, even with lots of windows, are the leafy ones, like lettuce or kale, or radishes might produce a bulb. Those that flower and produce "fruit" need more sunlight than comes through windows. There are a lot of very pretty lettuces you could try. If you could provide supplemental grow lights, then you can grow just about anything indoors. There's a good forum here on growing under lights. I'll put a link at the bottom of this post. Do you have a patio or deck? If so and it gets adequate sunlight (minimum of 6 hours full sun a day) then you can grow veggies in pots or planters. VA Tech has good publications on the subject. Here's a link to a good list: Good luck. With a little work you should be able to grow a few fresh veggies, even downtown! Sandy |

| Thanks so much Sandy! Sorry I got busy with school and haven't been back here for a while. I actually do have a grow light but I'm sure for veggies I will need to get more. No patio but I think grow lights or not I am going to look into some lettuces. I just love the self-sufficiency I have with my herbs and adding lettuce to the mix would definitely be nice :) Thanks for your time and help(and the great links)! |

| Yup Brandon, close to it. It's a shame isn't it? The concept is good but the users are few.... Tom |

| I agree. This should be the busiest forum here. Right now, I have realized that I have started too soon, but I will try again later this month. My tomatoes are spindly, and I know why. I will add this forum to my favorites. |
