The lemon tree is in the basement. In the spring summer it goes outdoors on the deck, and I feed it the used hydroponic nutrients. I bring it indoors in the fall and by January I have lemons. We grow our own salad greens in the basement also. Photo on my blog if you are interested.

Very nice informative blog Jack. I put it in my fav's. Will check out more of your posts/pics when I have time. You have a very nice setup in your basement. Thanks for the info!

WOW looks great. I am growing some indoors this year also. I have three that are in 1 gal pots (as of yesterday). I started them on Jan 1st and they are doing pretty well. I just could stand the look of cucumbers in the stores this winter and thought that I could do better. I am hoping that they will start with blooms in 2-3 weeks. They are also a compact bush that you can grow in containers. I also have some garlic that I am growing in containers also. I am hoping to move everything outside in the spring.
