About:
      When you look at how bad the economy is these days, you have to ask yourself, will my money be worth anything in the next
few years? Well, weather it will or not, I'm not taking any chances, I'm still working towards my self-sustainable life style
and one of the most important yet fundimental elements of living off grid is being able to make your own food.
      What I have going on here is a quick attempt at growing a few vegitables in some ordinary top soil, indoors! After college
I've been living in apartments so I don't have any of my own property to start a real garden and I really wanted to try to
grow my own foods. Mostly to get a feel of how hard it is to raise crops. So I did what I could. I built a set of shevles
infront of the window that receives the most sun light and planted some plants. And low and behold, between 1 and 2 months
later my plants were yielding! I figure, if I, a beginner farmer, can grow stuff with out chemicals, fertillizers, or un-obstructed
sun light, then anyone could do it! Seriously, All it takes is a little time and patience. I can't wait till I make my own
real garden, just imagine what I could do once I get some fertilizer on there from my own composter!






Early on:
Here are the plants only a week or so after being planted.



Additional Pics:

Here is the whole shelf. There are red peppers, mustard plants, tomatoes, and snow peas.

Towards the end, the plants were getting too tall for my selves so we moved them to Khine's place. She had a deck right outside her bedroom. Here we were able to care for them more easily and closly monitor the growth, plus now they wouldnt be so cramped.

Yield:
Here are some of the veggies collected. Everything was extremely taisty. Sweet and juicy. The one bad thing about growing them
indoors for the majority of their life, however, is that most of them were somewhat 'size-impared'. Oh well, I believe I can call
this round of experiments a Complete Success!
