Growing a vegetable garden can fun and an accomplishment. Being able to watch something grow in front of you is exciting. Even if you do not have a 'green thumb' watching seeds go from nothing to something is amazing.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Vegetable Seeds of Your Liking
  • Mini Greenhouse
  • Planters

Growing a Vegetable Garden Indoors

Step1
Purchase vegetable seeds and mini greenhouse. First, go to your local nursery or mass retailer where they sell any array of vegetable seeds and mini greenhouses.
Step2
Open seed pouches and greenhouse top. Second, tear open the pouch of the seeds you want to see grow. Also, remove top of mini greenhouse, follow instructions wrapped about mini greenhouse.
Step3
Place seeds in greenhouse peet moss. Third, once peet moss has expanded, tear open top of peet moss and with seeds in hand, place about five to six seeds into peet moss. Repeat this until you have filled up other peet moss disks with seeds of your liking.
Step4
Place mini greenhouse in a warm place. If your kitchen window has a windowsill, place the mini greenhouse on the windowsill. That is, if the kitchen windowsill gets sun all day long. If your kitchen does not get sun, find another place in your home.
Step5
Remove grown seeds. After 10 days, the seeds should begin to pop out of the peet moss. Now, either place vegetable plant in planter or place in ground. This is up to you, but it is best if your vegetable garden, in ground or in planters, is in direct sunlight.

Relocating Vegetable Garden Outdoors

Step1
Remove Grown Vegetable from Mini Greenhouse: Once the vegetable seeds you planted have grown to the height you want inside the mini greenhouse, remove the grown vegetable outdoors.
Step2
Plant Vegetable in Ground or Planter. With the vegetables removed from mini greenhouse, plant the vegetable either in the ground or in a planter. Vegetables usually grown better in the ground, but if you do not have room to grow the vegetable in the ground, a planter will do fine as well.
Step3
This is all you have to do in order for any vegetable seed to thrive outdoors. Begin your vegetable garden, indoors, then once seeds have sprouted, remove vegetable plant from mini greenhouse and plant in ground or planter, outdoors. Now that was easy.
