Mandy asks…
I’ve planted some watermelon seeds I had on hand to get some sprouts that I may cut and use for salad greens or in a stir fry like bean sprouts – but what other things can I do easily, especially in an apartment with only light from a window ledge?
Well, right off the top of my head, I know for a fact that you can grow ginger-root, because I grew it in my living room, putting it out on the deck in the summer.
My sister has presented me with kiwi vines, pomegranate trees, orange, grapefruit and lemon trees, and grape seedlings. Heaven only knows what sorts of fruit we will harvest from these, but we will have fun trying.. We grow the vines right up the living room walls. Yes, they are deciduous–so?
I did Thai peppers from the store bought ones and they did fine, in my dining room window. .
You can grow many spices from the dried-herb section of the grocer’s. Dill, Fennel, anise, Coriander (cilantro), Poppyseeds (just watch out for the feds—it’s opium!!), and others readily germinate.

When I was young, we always had gardens, and so did all of our neighbors. We canned lots of food. We had fruit cellars. We had chickens. We had milk cows, beef cows, pigs, and sheep. We always had apple trees, cherry trees, pear trees, and plum trees. We didn’t have any money, but we didn’t know it. We did eat well and had a lot of fun. It is time to get back to those days. Bring back the 40’s and the 50’s.

Try container gardening. It does not take up alot of space and can be alot of fun.
