Summary

After the garden season has closed, do you ever wish you could grow food indoors? Maybe it seems like a pipe dream. You think your winter food will come solely from what you've preserved and what you can buy at the grocery store.

But it doesn't have to be that way. Even if you have a small indoor space, you can add fresh vegetables and herbs to your table, even in the dead of winter.

In this episode of the Beginner's Garden Podcast and in the article below, Ashley Dempster from the Townhouse Homestead shares her tips to get started growing food indoors.

0:00.0	You're listening to the Beginners Garden podcast. I'm Jill McShehehehe with Journey Withjil.net,
0:06.1	and my goal is to give beginning gardeners the tools they need to grow a rewarding, productive garden. If you have ever found yourself longing for the taste of fresh fruits, vegetables, or herbs in the middle of winter,
0:37.0	and you thought maybe it might be possible for you
0:40.1	to grow some of those inside, then today's episode is exactly what you need to get started.

0:59.6	And she is from Canada.
1:01.6	So she has a very short growing season.
1:03.9	I'm seriously in awe of everything that she does.
1:07.1	But last year, I followed along with her as she was growing herbs and vegetables in her
1:12.8	townhouse-sized living area where she was able to harvest those things and eat them all winter
1:19.6	long. And her winter is much longer than a lot of hours is. So if she can grow those things

1:34.9	some basic tools and things that she uses to help her in her indoor grow setup. And everything
1:41.6	that she mentions is going to be linked directly in the blog post that
1:45.9	accompanies this episode, which you can get at directly by going to journey with Jill.net
1:51.5	slash 104. Okay, one more thing before we get started. I was having a technical nightmare,
1:59.1	right when Ashley and I first started to record the episode.
2:03.2	And we ended up having to take our conversation to the telephone.
2:08.0	And if you find that the quality of our conversation, the audio quality, isn't as good as what you're accustomed to on the podcast, I do have to apologize.
