Grow Potatoes Indoors Through Winter!



Anything is possible! We have a simple grow hood, hooked into a basic outlet timer, ready to go to work as soon as our babies sprout! This is all experimental, I’ve never attempted to grow a root crop indoors, let alone through winter! What fun would winter be for us gardeners if we had to just sit around and wait for Spring?

  1. Good idea! Potatoes are also a great food for pigs that is easy to grow.
    Always enjoy the videos where Caroline joins you!

  2. I've grown plenty other stuff indoors, but not taters. I'm pretty confident that will work just fine as long as they get enough light. Just keep an eye on watering. Humidity inside the house tends to be really low during winter, and grow lights (even LEDs) produce some heat, so pots tend to dry out faster.
    My guess is you'll only need to run the grow light 14-16 hours a day. If it's cool in the room they're in, run the lights overnight so the soil/plants doesn't get too chilly. Worst case scenario in a cold room, a small heater near the plants will help.
    Right now our laundry room is full of cuttings, herbs, seedlings, and a Meyer lemon tree in a grow bag. The humidity in the room gets a nice boost when we run the clothes dryer. We're using a 600W metal halide light on a timer, and it looks like there's an indoor sun in there. 😎

  3. Just a couple of beautiful ladies growing potatoes 🥔 😊great video as always 😀

  4. Lookin forward to seeing if they grow! Experiments are always fun to do. Never know might just turn out amazing!

  5. Hey Nina, whats the "THING " lying on the ground behind y'all at the start of the video? looks a little sus to be Moose's chew toy. lol

  6. I love the idea. Love the enthusiasm. Guest is bonus cute 🙂 However, planting in those containers is going to be a very bad harvest. Just saying! GO big or go home!

  7. I buy my potatoes at the store and no desire to grow them, but here I am….
