    The only problem with growing cherry tomatoes inside is that I eat them all straight off the plant and never save enough to make a salad or something.
    Great lens, thanks!

    Great Lense, I have veggies all year round, this winter mostly herbs but I sill keep some eggplant and tomatoes indoors this winter. Many Blessings

    Great lens! I've grown tomatoes indoors before, they were so delicious and sweet. I soon had to put up a greenhouse in the garden to grow more. You have so much useful info here.

    Great lens...I hope to do a bit of indoor gardening at some point, but right now I'm getting ready for my outdoor garden season!

    Yes, I am doing this right now (or trying to) I have a lot of veg growing in my house but keep knocking the baby plants over and down the back of units :0

    I will my indoor vegetable garden in stacking planters and hanging baskets, when the plants are bigger.

    Love this lens...I was just thinking about growing tomatoes in the house, now that you've listed a few different varieties I just might have to give it a try....

    Very nice, I never think to plant vegetable indoor, I always worried that if the plant get not enough sun light, it will not grow as good as plant it outdoor.

    I had never thought of growing vegetables indoors and it is certainly a great option for those who don't have any garden space. Now everyone can have a green thumb. The only challenge for me would be that I don't get much sunlight on my side of the building but my house plants are certainly happy.

  • HuritTaki Mar 10, 2012 @ 3:15 am | delete
    I love indoor gardens! We always have issues with them in winter, though, since our house is north/south facing. We get no light! And our cats like to eat them. All that's survived is our lone aloe cactus. Can't wait to live in a east/west facing house.
  • Graceonline Mar 5, 2012 @ 12:21 pm | delete
    I've been experimenting with growing a few herbs on my north-facing kitchen window sills for a few weeks, but they do not get enough light to thrive. I will snip them for recipes as long as they will grow. My plan now is to attempt to root cuttings as the plants become too leggy, then plant and harvest them until they stop growing.

    Gorgeous lens! I love, love, love my two Aerogardens! They produced tomatos for 18 months before I decided to retire the plants out in the garden this summer, and the plants are still producing fruit for me. Time to set them up with new seed pots now so that I'm able to harvest new fruit this winter again!

    Very comprehensive lens. My problem is lack of decent light in my house, none of the windows provide a decent amount of sunlight. I've toyed with the idea of using indoor grow lights but figured the electricity costs might far outweigh the benefits.

    I would love to grow an herb garden and a tomato indoor garden. Once I am in my own home again, I will definitely try my hand at this. My 14 year old loves to make tomato and mayo sandwiches. :)

    Having the convenience of fresh herbs in the comfort of your house cannot be priced. Not to mention the financial savings you will enjoy as you need not travel to the supermarket or purchase the expensive ones off the shelves. This is an addition to the household that everyone should consider.

    This was very useful information. Indoor vegetable garden is a need of the day if we want fresh and pesticide free vegetables for our children. As a mother the quality of milk, cereals and vegetables in the market has always been a concern for me. I'll try to make such indoor vegetable garden at my home. Thanks for sharing this.

    I thought there is such a thing as male and female tomato plants.. am I crazy??? I never thought you could plant tomatoes inside for the entire time of their growth and productive time. It was good to hear that you can just shake the plant to spred the pollen and never need any bees.
    Thanks a lot for the encouragement to a frustrated farmer who doesnt have a garden spot outside...
