Edible House Plants

It's time to start thinking about a fall garden or even raising something indoors.  I'm delighted to announce, I have actually harvested a pattipan squash having raised the vine from seeds in a flower pot.  It's beautiful, no blemishes, full size and the plant is covered in blooms.  Only one problem with raising vining produce in a pot, and I've now resolved it, I think.

The produce is heavy and will break the vine if it doesn't have a good strong place to settle.  It will settle back into the pot fine, or as I've now discovered, just make sure the vine is headed for the floor or patio and as it grows, it is already beyond the pot and on the same structure that is supporting the pot it's growing in.

 Commercial hanging planters are great for light fruit and veggies like strawberries or cherry tomatoes.  For those with cats and have avoided potted plants, a small piece of fence over the top when first planting prevents kitty from digging in the soil and the plant will grow right up through the webbing of the fence.   Anyone who enjoys house plants or eating, should consider raising edible house plants.  I've got eggplant in pots, peppers in pots, and potatoes in buckets, not to mention a plethora of fresh herbs in small planters and pots.

Indoor gardening and a patio harvest are both possible.  I've included a link for non genetically mutilated seeds for your autumn growing needs!
