I didn’t try growing melon indoors this year. I’m planning to try the pocket melon next winter along with a few other vining varieties. Considering they stay somewhat smaller indoors, 6′-10′ vines should be manageable grown vertically. We shall see!!

Silvery Fir Tree is one of my favorite tomatoes–along with Red Robin and Tiny Tim–both compact varieties with tiny tomatoes as well!

I did want to mention on the pocket melon–that vine grows rather large–about 6 to 10 ft. Have you tried that in your house already? I would be interested to hear how that does. That would be a fun (and delicious smelling) vine to grow inside!

Thanks Melanie! I’m going to grow a couple in pots as accents in our front border. Next winter I’m hoping to try quite a few of them! (Who ever thought I’d be planning a winter garden a year ahead of time?!)

Lisa , Wonderful suggestions for heirloom vegetables. I will have to keep my eye open for those. I’m still not sure, though, if I’m going to grow them indoors next winter.

Thank you! It’s the prettiest bloom the indoor garden has had all winter. I’m delighted to say there are many more buds, too!

Happy Bloom Day! That blossom is special, mid February.

I enjoyed the post of the previous day, too. Great lists.
