Indoor Garden Update!
Taking a Quick look at the Indoor Growing Shelves.
My gardens are typically outside. However, during winter, I do grow some indoors. I plant lettuce, Spinach, and Arugula all winter for fresh salad greens. I also bring inside, some of my herbs, to over winter.
I am growing two new varieties of Pepper: Big Red Bell, and Golden Cal Wonder. As well, I am growing a bunch of varieties that have done well in past years: Purple Beauty Bell Pepper, Sunbright Yellow Bell, Coral Bell, Sweet Banana Pepper, and a medium heat, Lemon Drop Aji.
The three latest Lettuces: Red Romaine, Little Gem Butterhead, and Butter Crunch. The Roma Tomato, I sowed January 15th. That's a few weeks early for my area, but I am going to try and indoor experiment, and see how they, do, growing in containers a little earlier than norm.
One thing I am still coming to terms with, is the so-called HUNGER GAP. That's the period between when the last of the fall harvest vegetables are eaten, and the first of the new spring food is harvested. Any idea at sustainability, and homesteading means understanding this GAP and planning for it. Whether it is more harvest in fall, more canned goods, or preserved or dealing with an earlier harvest.
The Roma Tomato experiment is an exercise in seeing if I can grow a tomato to fruit indoors, before the typical first harvest, in my area.
And that makes me smile... better for the planet, better for my own family.
Either way, if is perfect. Let me know below in the comments...
