Starting Your Own Indoor Edible Garden Is Easier Than You Think—Here's How

If you live somewhere lacking in outdoor space, you might think that means you can't grow the garden of your dreams. But, you don't have to have a backyard to grow your own food—you just need a sunny window and the patience to wait for your future produce to sprout and grow. There are plenty of vegetables you can grow indoors, even in a small, city apartment, from salad greens and scallions to peppers, tomatoes, and even strawberries.

In most cases, you'll need a bright, sun-filled location to grow produce indoors, but you can also get some help from grow lights. (Hot tip: If you want to get serious about your indoor vegetable garden but don't like the look of standard grow lights, GE makes grow lights that look like regular light bulbs. You can buy them on Amazon.)
