The Easiest Vegetables to Grow Indoors

Growing your own food indoors doesn’t mean you have to invest in expensive grow lights, be limited to mason jar sprouts or windowsill herbs, or clear out a whole room to make it happen.

There are many edible plants that can be grown inside the house without a lot of space or effort.

Sprouts And Microgreens

Let’s start off with the easiest vegetables you can grow indoors, year round, right on your counter: sprouts and microgreens.

Salad Greens

You can grow a variety of leafy greens indoors, including loose-leaf lettuce, spinach, chard, arugula, kale, sorrel, and mustard greens. You also have the option of harvesting them in the baby leaf stage, or waiting until they’re full grown.

Scallions

Scallions (also called green onions or bunching onions) are an excellent indoor crop that’s also perennial. So, you can keep it going all year long for continuous harvests without replanting!

Garlic is easily grown indoors, but the lack of winter chill hours (which it needs to form a bulb underground) means you’ll only be getting garlic greens from your plant. And that’s perfectly okay!

Garlic

Radishes are ideal for indoor growing because they have shallow roots and don’t need a lot of space. They also mature fast, and are one of the easiest vegetables for beginners to grow.

Spring Radishes

Beets can be grown indoors for their roots as well as their nutrient-packed leafy greens. (The greens look and taste very similar to swiss chard, which isn’t surprising since the plants are closely related.)
