Growing vegetables? Indoors? Is that even possible? Yes it is! Question is, is it possible to grow an amount big enough to feed a family of three? Follow my experiment in this blog

Why do vegetable gardening indoors?
Because I think vegetable gardening should be an option even to those living in a flat. In addition to that I like my sallad fresh and A: I tend to forget it in the fridge and then find it when it's all rubbery and soft (ie. unedible), B: at least in Sweden the sallad isn't really fresh on the shelves in the grocery store. Since I spent my childhood weeding on my own little 'kitchen garden' I prefer to grow stuff in containers. That gives you control over the soil - at least as much control as you can get.
The cherry on the top is that homegrown vegetables reduces your ecological footprint, and that I'm able to make culinary excursions in the Big Kitchen Garden.

My adopted nursery
Funbo Plantskola
Framtidsvägen 1
755 97 Uppsala
Phone: +46(0)18 36 31 54
Opening hours:
mo-fri: 10.00 - 18.00
sat: 10.00 - 15.00
sund : closed
Homepage only in Swedish, but do have good pictures from the greenhouses and the garden displays. If you read swedish you find helpfull advice and good links. Included in the assortement are exotic plants like wines and figs as well as old swedish cultivated plants. For an international visitor this is to be considered off the beaten track and low level interesting. However the place is worth a picknick, bring your own basket and buy icecream there. If you visit the place in summer during extended weekends (thu-sun) you have the chance seeing the steam trains of the historical railroad pass by.
Instructions on how to join the campain for adopting a nursery here.
