Delicious Foods That You Can Grow Inside Your Home

Ehh, What’s Up, Doc?

Carrots can actually thrive by growing them indoors because they need moisture, which sometimes can be problematic with the summer heat, and you won’t have to worry about any wascally wabbits! If you are growing baby carrots, any size of pot or container will do. However, if you’d like to grow full-size carrots a pot between ten to twelve inches deep is ideal. Fill your pot with soil and spread the seeds over the surface of the soil. When they begin germinating, clip some of the seedlings so you are left with seedlings that are half an inch apart. When your carrots develop their true color, it is time to harvest.

Now that you can grow your own carrots, keep reading to learn how to grow some beets.

Just Beet It

Being a root vegetable, beets need a container at least seventeen inches deep. Drill holes in the bottom of your container if there are none present already to allow for proper drainage. Add sixteen inches of pH-balanced soil to the container, planting seeds a quarter inch deep and one foot apart from each other. Place the container in a well-lit space, and give one inch of water approximately once a week, or when the first quarter of soil has dried up.

If your source of sunlight is small, remember to rotate the pot to allow for even and maximum growth. When your beets reach the size of a golf ball, begin harvesting as this is the time they taste the best. You can also use the beetroots when cooking, or eat them raw.

So get growing some beets or beat it and keep reading to learn about foods you can buy from the grocery store and regrow.
