If you like growing fruits and vegetables, having a small yard or lack of space is not a hindrance. There are various edible plants that you can grow right inside your Kempner rental home or apartment! Edible plants give natural beauty and delicious vegetables or herbs for cooking. They are also pretty easy to grow indoors as long as you have time and a sunny spot near a window, patio, or balcony. To get your edible indoor garden started, we will introduce you to a few plants that thrive in a pot or planter.
1. Strawberries
One good choice for your indoor edible garden is a strawberry plant. Even though most strawberry plants that grow outdoors normally require a great deal of space, other variants are more compact and perfect for container gardening. Strawberry plants fit well in hanging pots or freestanding containers, and they generate beautiful flowers and delicious fruit.
2. Peppers
There are many varieties of both hot and sweet peppers that are easy to grow indoors. For instance, jalapenos and other normal hot peppers can grow properly alongside other edible indoor plants. On the flip side, if you prefer sweet peppers, search for varieties intended to grow in containers.
3. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are one more great option for your indoor garden. Simply remember to purchase determinate tomato plant varieties, which tend to be smaller plants while still producing some of the delicious tomatoes you’ll ever taste. Whether you pick cherry tomatoes or a variety large enough to slice, it’s hard to go wrong growing tomatoes in your rental home.
4. Lettuce
Easy to grow, lettuce commonly grows in cooler weather; that’s why it is a great option for an indoor garden. Additionally, lettuce tends to grow quickly from seed, which implies that you can eat a garden-fresh salad or garnish after a short time.
5. Herbs
If you don’t have ample space or would like to start your indoor garden with the basics, growing herbs is a fantastic choice. A wide variety of herbs can grow on a windowsill, and fresh herbs taste good in any dish. In the first place, think about choosing basil, mint, or thyme in small pots or a container. You can cultivate all of these herbs in a small amount of space, and they are easy to grow.
In the end, your indoor garden can be as simple or as ambitious as you want – and as space will allow. But with so many excellent choices, you’ll be sure to satisfy your green thumb with an indoor garden.
