URBAN GARDENING – Why shouldn’t city dwellers also have the possibility to grow their own vegetables indoors? In this article I am going to show you what you can plant in your living room, in your kitchen, on a windowsill; or on your balcony.

If you live in the city but are not a fan of the shared garden, or you don’t have an easy access to an allotment, it is possible to plant your fruits and vegetables on your balcony or even inside your apartment. But not just any or all of them! This guide will give you some advice on how to cultivate your vegetable garden in the best conditions.

A vegetable garden in your living room?

Good news ! You can plant your fruits, vegetables and herbs in your interior if you wish.

Okay, let’s be reasonable, it is not always recommended to grow just about everything in your living room, where fresh air and light can be lacking. But it is not impossible! It will only require more attention and monitoring because of the high risk of parasites and diseases.

Certain cultivation systems are also designed to be installed indoors, such as aquaponics, that is to say a vegetable garden in combination with an aquarium. You can also make a mini vegetable garden to hang on your window!

The easiest way, however, is to grow aromatic plants, especially basil, in your kitchen or bathroom. Indeed, these are humid and generally bright rooms, where the temperature is ideal, between 64 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18 and 22 degrees Celsius). You can even make your own herbal vegetable garden to cultivate them!

Small fruits and vegetables in your planters

Outdoors, your fruits and vegetables will grow very well in a planter, as long as they have room to develop. Cherry tomatoes, radishes, salad, one or two feet of potatoes, arugula can be planted there; just like aromatics such as chives, thyme, parsley, mint …

Nevertheless, avoid plants which tend to grow a little too large such as rosemary, sage, melons, blackcurrant, kiwis, I must mention. If you are running out of space but have the urge to grow a multitude of vegetables, you can also turn to mini-vegetables.

Strawberries, Cape Gooseberries and raspberries of all kinds will delight your taste buds and brighten up your garden with their pretty shrubs at reasonable sizes. And if you are a fan of citrus fruits then, you have the possibility of planting them outside during the summer season; preserving them indoors, in a veranda for example, during the other part of the year.

1 – To grow your vegetables indoors in the best conditions, it is preferable to have a bright terrace or balcony without them being constantly exposed to direct sunlight. About 5 hours of light per day minimum is enough for your vegetables.

2 – If your terrace is partially shaded, be strategic in your plantations and place those that appreciate cool soil in the shade. This is the case for mint, sorrel or even spinach. On the other hand, avoid open spaces, otherwise your vegetable garden will dry out too quickly.

3 – Even if spring is the ideal season to start your vegetable garden, there is no essential meteorological condition; except to avoid heavy periods of frost for your plants.

4 – Pay attention to the weight of your vegetable garden, and therefore to the amount of soil; so as not to overload your balcony. Tomatoes, peppers and eggplants require a larger quantity of soil than aromatics because the root system is more developed. Something to think about before you start to grow your favorite vegetables indoors.
