My garage would be the only closest place I'd have to put things.

| I started my indoor garden this week. I am so excited. I am trying tomatoes, and zucchini. I threw in some left over onion sets I had from this spring. I wanted to get them started now because they take so long for them to bare fruit, I won't have tomatoes until mid to late october. I figure I will start a new plant every month - 6 weeks or so, So I can have continuous fresh veggies. we will see how it goes. Right now they are on my back deck, but I will move operations into my house in septemer before it gets to frosty. |

| Cool! So what are they planted in? Where are you going to put them? My garage would be the only closest place I'd have to put things. |

| they are in these big metal buckets I got at target> they are labeled as drink buckets or something. Intended to put ice and beer in for BBQ's and stuff. They might be to small, if they are I am going to switch to those 60 gallon buckets that are all colorful with the rope handles; Those are TONS bigger, so I thought I would try these first, since I have no idea if this will even work. I'll take pics at some point. I am going to put them in front of that big south facing window I was talking about. I don't think you would go for it.  you could see it from the street, huge tomato plants sitting right there in my living room. |

Yeah, I stopped bringing in plants from outside years ago. I used to bring my hibiscus trees in and one year I had some FUNKY bugs that I NEVER want to see again. Plants outside need to stay outside with their bugs.  So I don't think I could grow veggies in the house, especially when they were outside first. I can do some things....some things I can't. Do you not get enough from your summer garden to last through the winter? I know they wouldn't be fresh, but we freeze a lot of ours.ETA: Our dog loves to pee on our garden  if it was inside....I'd be afraid he'd want to do the same thing.   |
