This gives the plants enough light. Next use polly bags to cover them in the day - this keeps them warm when the heating is off - and in this weather you could even wrap the pots in bubble wrap! brrrr.

Lots of people also grow tomatoes inside but that might require a bit more work. Best of luck with the challenge. CJR I’m sure you can grow small root veggies or herbs.

Herbs, of course, are a popular indoor favorite, but that never worked for me because I never use them. My brother and some friends have had luck with the Aerogrow - and with that, you can have all sorts of things in the wintertime.
