No garden space? Wrong season?

Grow fresh vegetables indoors, year-round. And brighten your life

The salad vegetables we eat fresh can grow indoors - lettuce, kale and Asian greens, herbs, cucumbers, beans, peppers, and even tomatoes. The lights they crave off-season can brighten your mood, too.

Starting from what these crops need to succeed, Indoor Salad explores techniques to meet those needs - from the humble CFL lightbulb, to container gardening, to hydroponics. Get growing today with do-it-yourself projects for the craftsy. Or buy ready-made systems like the Aerogarden with confidence.
