Thanks for starting this thread. It's always great to share info on how we are getting along with this kind of thing.

I have an Indoor Garden that I have been working on for about 3 months and I've been pretty happy with the results so far.

Here is a picture of the overall setup. I got it from Lee Valley tools and am happy with the quality and performance of the lights and stand. Adjustable lights are very important to growing this way. Mostly purchased this for convenience of not having to put something together myself. The only knock on it I have is the price.

So far I have grown 5 different kinds of Radishes, 4 kinds of lettuce, Kale, Endive, a tray of Broccoli Micro Greens and I'm trying to get some Green Onions going.

Here's a picture of the current crop.

I have been doing really well with Radishes. Super easy to grow and are much better than what I have bought at the store. Another plus is I can grow different kinds which is surprisingly fun. We are also eating the greens cooked quickly in butter and garlic.

Kale is growing like crazy and is quite tender, much better than store bought.

Butter Crunch Lettuce is coming along great. I'll likely grow this inside all summer as I don't have to fight Slugs, Rabbits and everything else that wants to eat it outside.

It's been a lot of fun and the veggies we are getting are really good. No pesticides or anything bad at all in there.

If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to reach out.
