Top 5 Edible Plants to Grow in Your Home

Levittown Tenant Trimming Indoor HerbsIf you enjoy growing fruits and vegetables, there’s no need to let a small yard or lack of space hold you back. There are several edible plants that you can grow right inside your Levittown rental home or apartment! Edible plants offer both natural beauty and delicious vegetables or herbs to use in your cooking. They are also quite easy to grow indoors if you’ve got some time and a sunny spot near a window, patio, or balcony. To get your edible indoor garden started, let’s have a closer look at a small number of plants that do a good job in a pot or planter.

1. Strawberries

One great option for your indoor edible garden is a strawberry plant. While many strawberry plants that grow outdoors often need lots of space, several varieties are more compact and perfect for container gardening. Strawberry plants look great in hanging pots or freestanding containers and provide both pretty flowers along with sweet fruit.

2. Peppers

There are several varieties of both hot and sweet peppers that are easy to grow indoors. For example, jalapenos and other trendy hot peppers can grow nicely in conjunction with other edible indoor plants. Or, if you prefer sweet peppers, look for varieties that are designed to grow in containers.

3. Tomatoes

Tomatoes are another great option for your indoor garden. Just be sure to purchase determinate tomato plant varieties, which tend to be smaller plants while still producing some of the best-tasting tomatoes you’ll ever eat. Whether you opt for cherry tomatoes or a variety big enough to slice, it’s hard to go wrong growing tomatoes in your rental home.

4. Lettuce

Easy to grow, lettuce tends to thrive in cooler weather, making it another wonderful option for an indoor garden. And lettuce tends to grow quickly from seed, meaning you’ll be experiencing a garden-fresh salad or garnish in a very short period.

5. Herbs

If you don’t have much space or want to start your indoor garden with the basics, growing herbs is an excellent choice. Many herbs need just a windowsill to grow, and fresh herbs taste amazing in any dish. To get started, consider choosing basil, mint, or thyme in small pots or a container. Each one of these herbs is easy to grow and doesn’t take up much space.

Ultimately, your indoor garden can be as simple or as impressive as you’d like – and as space will allow. But with so many great options, you’ll be certain to satisfy your green thumb with an indoor garden.
