I would honestly have never thought it was possible to grow such a huge variety of things indoors, but this really makes it seem not just possible but entirely reasonable and (relatively) easy.

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* really liked reading this book and had planned it all out, too bad we are moving and the new place has less space for indoor gardens :(

This is the book I've been waiting for! An accessible, beginner friendly guide that reaps fruit (literally!) not long after purchasing! I learned so much from Elizabeth Millard in this book all the while feeling like I was reading notes from a good friend. The writing is light hearted and accessible for any audience.

I'm always trying to grow different seeds and vegetables in my garden, being in Canada limits my outdoor gardening time so I love how this book offers some wonderful indoor ideas!

A great book, especially for those with limited garden space. The author gives a lot of detailed information on how to grow vegetables inside.

This book was great!
I loved how informative it was and all the photos they included in it, I felt like I truly learned from it.

I am looking soon to start my own garden and I found this to be a useful book that will help me in that endeavor.

Definitely will be recommending this read to others!

***Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the digital ARC of this book. All views and opinions expressed in this review are my own.***

I sadly went to hospital, during the download time, so was unable to download the book. If I could be given review copy, I would happily review. Apologies.

A very informative handbook! I love plants, and as someone who lives in an apartment with limited space and light for growing this book was still plenty resourceful. I loved reading about herbs because they're the only plants I'm growing right now, as well as the sprouts and wheatgrass. I think I might give growing those a go later.
The layout of the book is great, and the photos in them are very awesome as they are informative!
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC :)

Really great for learning to grow indoor vegetables! I'm really devastated that since reading this book I've moved to a flat with really crap light!

This book was perfect timing for me as I was finishing the harvest from my outdoor gardening, it was great to obtain guidance on how to do the same things inside. Many of the veggies and herbs that we love will now be enjoyed for longer periods of time. A good read for those like me who want more and also very timely as we are all spending more time at home it can also be a cost savings.

I really enjoyed this book. It had lots of great advice/reminders for beginning and experienced gardeners. I like how it was sectioned into different topics. I especially enjoyed the section on micro greens. I would recommend this to gardeners of any experience level.

A great book for anyone without a garden but wanting to have a go at growing their own food. It is full of inspiring ideas and projects, and the instructions are very clear. Definitely suitable for beginners and those who haven't gardened before. The book is lovely to dip into and would make a good gift book. Also ideal for trying the projects with children.

The whole time I was growing up my family had a garden. So I've always considered fresh produce a normal part of life, making the transition to rental living difficult. I'd made a few attempts at container gardening but it never worked out very well. So I was super stoked to read this book, to figure out what I was doing wrong. With a guide to the best varieties, best containers, even best soil to use, I'm confident that what I've learned here will make it far more successful the next containers I plant.

I liked this book about indoor gardening. There is a lot of useful information inside, and I can't wait to try out some of the suggestions. I would recommend it to all that are beginners in indoor gardening.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

Very informative and interesting. I loved the new things I was able to learn from this and plan to use my new knowledge to help my home fill up with beautiful things. I thank NetGalley and The publisher for my ARC copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

I've become increasingly interested in growing my own food over the past couple of years, but I live in a flat with no garden access. When I've researched indoor gardening before, I was overwhelmed with the amount of information available, even though I already had some plant care knowledge. I wish my Google searches had led me to the Indoor Kitchen Garden Handbook sooner because it's a great comprehensive guide to growing produce indoors.

The handbook starts with the basics of plant care and how to plan your indoor garden. Then it's separated into chapters by plant types. Each chapter takes you through each step like how to germinate the seeds, plant the seeds, care for the plant as it grows and how to troubleshoot any possible problems. It's thorough without being overwhelming.

Despite all its merits, however, I do have a small issue with some misinformation I found in the book. At one point, the author states:

"Provide a little drainage by placing small rocks in the bottom of your planting vessel prior to adding the dirt."

Unfortunately this is an old adage that can be more harmful than helpful. Putting rocks at the bottom of your planting container raises the water table (the saturated layer of potting medium at the bottom of your container). This water table exists in any potted plant, no matter how good or bad a gardener you are, and it's an area too saturated for plant roots to stay healthy.

If you add rocks to the bottom of your container, it raises the water table of the soil, meaning you are limiting the amount of healthy potting medium your plant's roots have access to. The roots are either going to avoid the water table and grow too shallow to support the growth above the soil, or the roots will grow into the water table and develop root rot from staying too wet.

If your container is big enough that the roots can grow deeply without reaching the water table even with stones, then it's not a problem. But in most cases, considering the typical size of indoor plants, putting rocks at the bottom of your planting container is probably something to avoid.

Highly informative, useful and full of information: I loved what I read and it will surely be useful.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

If you love gardening and growing your own food, this book is perfect! While I grow some food outside, I have wanted to have more of an indoor garden. Indoor Kitchen Gardening Book by Elizabeth Millard covers everything you could possibly need to know for starting, growing, caring for, harvesting, storing, and everything else you can imagine.

There were several fruits and vegetables grown in this book that I did not know could do okay inside. This book definitely has given me a lot of food for thought and ideas to play around with. I do wonder what else could be grown indoors.

This book is a must buy if you love gardening and want a little greenery in your house.

I received an electronic advanced reader copy from Quarto Publishing Group- Cool Springs Press through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

Indoor Kitchen Gardening Handbook by Elizabeth Millard is a guide for how you can grow plants inside, including micro greens - seedling forms of the larger plant - to things like carrots and chard.

The book goes through things like sunlight, through flow of air, pests (mice adore seeds), and other advice.

If you're wanting to get in to growing plants for food, and are thinking about growing them inside, then this is a good book for you.  It doesn't pull it's punches about all of the things that you need to consider, and also gives tips like what electric lights you can use.

 Indoor Kitchen Gardening Handbook  was published on 8th September 2020, and is available to buy from Amazon,  Waterstones  and your  local independent bookshop .

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, and so my thanks to NetGalley and to  Quatro Publishing .

Experimenting with indoor kitchen gardening helps get me through the long Michigan Upper Peninsula winters and this book gives some good tips. This is the first book I have read on the subject (and I have read several) that discusses the difference between sprouts and micro greens. I found the information interesting and helpful as I continue to try to grow.
