Grow your own food

Indoor tropicals that are fun and edible

We have a lot of fun growing small fruit bearing tropicals indoors. We put them outside when concern for freezing temperatures is past and they come inside in the winter after they have been pruned back to save room.

My son collected some Kukui Nut seeds when we were in Hawaii. He brought them home and planted them and now we have Kukui Trees in our kitchen. I will let you know if we get nut production.

Growing Herbs


With herbs, a little bit goes a long way and because there are many aggressively spreading herbs, we like to grow them in containers, on our deck, close to the kitchen. Most herbs are easy to grow and selection is per individual preference for cooking. Herbs are an easy and fun way to get started with plants.
