   Indoor winter gardening?
   I have a 5'x7' sun room in my apartment that has large windows on three sides. The room contains a lot built in shelves and counter space.

   I think it would be nice to plant some vegetables in this room for winter. I'd like to get started right away so that the vegetables will start fruiting by at least November, if not late late October.

   I'd like to certainly plant tomatoes and eggplant. What specific varieties of tomato and eggplant work well indoors? What other vegetables work well? What varieties?

   What have your experiences been vegetable gardening indoors? What tips do you have?

   Tomatoes and eggplant will be a challenge. They need a lot of sunlight even your sun room may not supply. Try to find tomatoes bred for green house hydroponics. Your sun room is probably made of double pane energy efficient coated glass that filters out a lot of the wavelengths of light your plants will need. I to have a bay window the same size as yours. I've supplemented the sun with four shop lights mounted vertically in each corner. Each has one warm white and one cool white bulb. Last year I brought a potted tomato indoors and it had tomatoes until Easter. RScott

   Hi:
   An indoor garden will work very well for you. There are certain steps you need to take in order for your plants to grow healthy. The most critical step is to properly plant your plugs or seeds. The type of vegetables you plant is really up to you. Cherry tomatoes do very well indoors as well as some of your smaller tomatoes. The Cherry tomatoes won't get out of hand and become too large. Be careful about certain vegetables that need space to grow such as squash or zucchini. Peppers will do well inside also. Having a sun room also consider doing some herbs. They are great for a winter indoor garden. Take a look at my website. I will direct to a page on growing from seed. There is also articles on herb growing and container gardening. I hope this has helped some and good luck to you. If you need any other help, please feel free to contact me.
