Can I grow my own food in a small apartment?

Asked by halabihazem (460points) December 24th, 2011

I live in a small apartment with moderate sun light.

I would like to try growing a single plant (like Parsley) in my apartment just to see how it would taste like compared to the ones I get from the market.

The reason I want to try this is just to explore how easy/hard it is to do something like that. I’m obviously not looking for a sustainable source of food or saving cash. I’m just curious about the process.

One more reason I want to do that is because I want to know what it feels like when you grow your very OWN food. Something that doesn’t go through the “system”, if you understand what I mean. It just feels special (I hope so)

Any ideas on best plant options? materials I need?

P.S. I have 0% experience in dealing with plants
