Growing Veg indoors

Robbda

I've just a nose on the Money saving the old fashioned way and i saw some conversations long ago about trying to grow veg in a flat - did anyone actually try it? i am growing chillies and herbs at the moment quite sucessfully but would love to try something else a bit more useful - my flat is on a corner and is very sunny (when its not raining like today!)

I've grown small peppers inside (practically the same as growing chillis), some fairly successful 'cut and come again' salad, and you could do cherry tomatoes quite easily as well.

Thanks red squirrel - i might see whats about

What it cut and come again salad please?

It's salad leaves that you can snip off and use, and they re-grow (rather than just picking a lettuce and that's it).

I grew these ones - http://www.suttons.co.uk/pd_184429_Spicy_Mix.htm - in a container on the windowsill last year.

You can also grow cucumbers indoors..and be prepared for comments!
In window containers, strawberries are also nice dependant on the amount of room you have.
