Gardeners of slrpnk! I would like to start growing some food in my apartment and I am trying to figure out what would be some good options to meaningfully provide food that I would regularly eat. I don’t mind adding some energy efficient grow lights if necessary, since I have limited light available. What are some of your favourite foods to grow indoors?

    Herbs. If you’re growing indoors without much sunlight, you won’t be able to grow much. Maximize the bang for your buck by growing fresh herbs, since you don’t need to use much to get a significant improvement in the quality of your food. Parsley is good, sage, thyme, basil…

      Definitely, and I’d recommend green onion if you like it because you can “start” it by replanting the roots from store-bought green onion. Just cut off the bottom 2 inches (almost 10cm), plant it, and eat the top part.

      If you’re going to have houseplants, you may as well get some food from them.
