Delicious Foods That You Can Grow Inside Your Home

Beans, Beans, The Wonderful Fruit

When growing green beans indoors, you can grow them any time of the year. However, the best beans to grow inside are bush beans instead of pole beans. You’ll need a container between eight and twelve inches with holes to allow excess water to drain. If you are not using artificial light, you will need to place the container in an area where the beans can get a minimum of eight hours of sunlight per day.

Plant your bean seeds one inch deep and two inches from one another, providing them with around half an inch of water per week. To provide them with even more nutrients you can use composting vegetables or feed them once a month with compost tea. Within forty-five to seventy-five days, your beans should be ready for harvest.

Ring Up Some Bell Peppers

When you plan on planting bell peppers, you will first need to soak the seeds in a small cup of warm water for six hours or so. Begin filling a seedling tray with soil and when the seeds are ready, plant them about a quarter inch deep. Place your seedling tray beside a sunny window, keeping the soil moist with a spray bottle. When the seedlings have produced two sets of leaves, transplant them into bigger pots, using a pot roughly two or four inches in size.

Try to keep your pepper plants in a well-lit area and water them consistently. When the peppers begin to flower, you will need to mimic conditions of pollination by either setting a fan on low near them to simulate wind or by gently tapping on the trunk of the plant. Within seventy to ninety days you should have mature peppers that are ready to harvest.
