Indoor Gardening

If you would like to do some indoor gardening (in the northern hemisphere), here are some tips:

-Place your plants in South- or West-facing windows if possible. The light you get at these windows is generally good enough to grow just about anything.
-East-facing windows typically get enough light to grow "shade tolerant" plants. These are mostly root vegetables (like carrots, potatoes, radishes, etc.) or leaf vegetables (lettuce, broccoli, etc.) What won't grow well there are fruiting vegetables like squash, peppers, or eggplant.
-North-facing windows generally do not get enough light per day to successfully grow food crops.

If you don't have any South- or West-facing windows that would be good candidates for a few pots of growing plants, you can always consider using fluorescent lighting as an alternative. Not as hard as it sounds either!
