Gardeners of slrpnk! I would like to start growing some food in my apartment and I am trying to figure out what would be some good options to meaningfully provide food that I would regularly eat. I donโ€™t mind adding some energy efficient grow lights if necessary, since I have limited light available. What are some of your favourite foods to grow indoors?

Herbs. If youโ€™re growing indoors without much sunlight, you wonโ€™t be able to grow much. Maximize the bang for your buck by growing fresh herbs, since you donโ€™t need to use much to get a significant improvement in the quality of your food. Parsley is good, sage, thyme, basilโ€ฆ

Definitely, and Iโ€™d recommend green onion if you like it because you can โ€œstartโ€ it by replanting the roots from store-bought green onion. Just cut off the bottom 2 inches (almost 10cm), plant it, and eat the top part.

If youโ€™re going to have houseplants, you may as well get some food from them.
