Hi ladies! I’ve been wanting to try growing some things of my own, but I don’t know where to start. I live in an apartment.
I have a pretty long bar area between my kitchen & dining room. Also, I have a small patio outside that I could use. Could anyone give me any ideas.

I’ve read multiple times on this site Green onions grow wonderfully. So when I tried it, Boy did they ever grow! They grow noticeably quick at that so if you like seeing progress they’re great.
They’re probably one of the easiest plants I’ve ever grown.

I have lived in the city all my life. When I was in a small apartment I use to grow tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, etc. in containers.
Just big pots situated around the apartment where they would get the most sun. It worked fine for me. If you have cats you may want to put a little pepper on the soil so they wont dig 🙂

With you having a small patio, try checking out the growing bags that they have on the market also. For when the weather gets nicer. Also here on the site:

I have also seen where the actual bags of soil werre laid on the ground
and the tops slashed and the plants were set out directly into the bags
of soil.I suppsoe you might also need to poke some holes in the bottom
side that was on the ground for some drainage. Just thought I’d share
the idea.
If you are in the mood to start a little in door garden now I’d start with herbs.. -

I also live in a ground level apartment. I asked my landlord if I could plant a garden outside. He said fine, dig up what you need, keep it neat, do not let anything Grow up the building (pole beans), and no sunflowers.
That was it. I live in MN, so I plant tomatoes, peas, peppers, cucumbers, stawberries (in a container, heard they spread), lettuce did well, carrots, cantelope and watermelon (sm versions) and green onions as well.

strawberries definitely spread, they get these odd little vines that stem out new plants…
with the green onion I grow I cut a green onion down from the store to alittle past the white part then put it in soil. Then it starts to grow and grow. I chopped mine down again and its still growing strong and coming right back.
