Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Does anyone grow herbs or veggies inside as house plants? Or can anyone tell me what herbs and veggies are good for growing inside? I'm not much into basic plants except spider plants so figured this would be a good way to increase my house plant volume. Also what soil do you use to grow them best inside? Marci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you know someone who has nasturtiums now in their yard and since Frost is not too far off, ask if you can transplant a couple into a pot. Bring these indoors and keep in sunny window, when it gets close to Frost. I use the nasturtium leaves in salads or on BLT in place of lettuce. It takes like watercress with a pleasant peppery taste. I have a large, low, flat pot of nasturtiums that I planted with a view towards moving inside. God planted some Woodsorrel and a Purslane in that same pot, that is they sprung up as weeds --but edible weeds. So when I bring the pot in, it will have 3 garden salad plants: nasturtium, purslane, and oxalis/woodsorrel. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fresh herbs all winter! I use organic potting soil and mix it with some of my own compost. It's a great way to extend my gardening bug!
