About Kindred Beisinger penname K D Elizabeth Beisinger
Expertise
I can answer questions about natural gardening. We refer to our type of gardening as Orthodox organic. We do not use chemicals of any kind for pest control or plant growth. I can offer information regarding the growth of herbs and spices, as well. I can also share some canning and freezing tips for enjoying home grown vegetables year round. Growing vegetables provides healthy benefits for the body and the mind.

Experience
We live on what I believe is now termed a hobby farm. We are Messianic missionaries and raise all of our own vegetables, and some fruit. The change in the grocery budget is absolutely amazing.

Growing Vegetables - Indoors gardening


Expert: Kindred Beisinger penname K D Elizabeth Beisinger - 10/30/2009

Question
I live in WV and would like to grow vegetables indoors this winter to eat. Is it possible to grow them to maturity in side?

Answer
Dear Kathy,
It is possible to grow lettuce and leafy greens to full size indoors without anything extra, just sunlight and warmth.  Now as for tomatoes, peppers, etc. you will have to pollinate the blossoms.  I use a cotton swab and just lightly touch the blossoms from one to the next.  They will not produce as plentifully as outdoors, mostly due to limited sunlight.  A grow light will help that and make sure the pots are deep enough.  I've grown tomatoes and peppers all winter.  And we always have fresh greens.
I wish you success.
Kind Regards,
KD Liz
