Gardening in January

Harvesting the bounty of my garden the Spring, Summer and Fall months is a great thrill. But harvesting in January is even more exciting!

Mesclun greens in January

The above photo was taken in my basement just today (1/12/2023) and it is proof that anyone can grow their own greens at this time of year, despite freezing temperatures outside.

The average temperature of my basement is ~56 degrees, which is just right for the Mesclun shown here, and many other greens.

I have them growing under “blurple” LED lighting, controlled by a timer.

These greens are growing in an organic soil mix, which is amended by dried chicken manure.

Shoot me a message at riplabs@protonmail.com if you would like help getting started growing your own greens indoors.
