I got excited by the title and had to read this book. I love nothing more than a fresh salad, fresh berries, fresh herbs, fresh (you get the idea) so I had to read this book. Why let the seasons ruin for you when you can do some work and grow them year round?

While this is a great book and you can grow your own produce year round, I just realized that I’d need far more space and resources than I have right now and am going to have to work on acquiring some things before I can get started. But don’t let this deter you…knowing what is required is a great starting place and I WILL get there soon. This book is a great resource and the promise of fresh tomatoes is enough to keep me focused and motivated!

I checked this book out because I have been thinking of starting an herb garden and it's an excellent resource! The flow of the steps is very helpful and the pictures are beautiful and inspiring!

Lots of great information for growing food indoors. I have recently been interested in not just starting seeds indoors but to actually grow and harvest, this book describes several ways to do just that. Hydroponics, lighting, and even making sure your floor is strong enough to use some the the systems. Also info on varieties to grow. Very informative plus I found some experts to follow on Instagram.

II received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I will admit the introduction to this book surprised me by talking about the post-pandemic world when we are clearly not post-pandemic. That being said this is a surprisingly thorough guide to growing food indoors.

This book dives into the ins and outs of gardening indoors. There is information on growing plants vertically, hydroponically, and more. Roman talks about different seeds, how to provide the right light, and sufficient warmth and water. There's a lot of information in this book to sort through! There's also helpful advice on choosing how much to grown and when. Roman also gives estimates for how much things will cost, but I would say a lot of that varies by region.

Overall an interesting read.

Thank you to Fox Chapel Publishing for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for a review.

I was drawn to Kim Roman's How to Garden Indoors & Grow Your Own Food Year Round for its self-explanatory title. Since I live in the north, my growing season is fairly short, so I'm looking for some good advice for extending that (and hopefully not letting it take over the foot print of my house) and adding to my very small microgreen planter.

There are great tips in here, lovely photographs, and I love the selection of suggested plants, but it does seem it would be most advantageous to people with a lot of resources at their disposal. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with this. Crossing fingers for some good future harvests!
