Tyumen Residents Grow Winter Gardens on Windowsills to Save Money

Prices for vegetables and greens continue to disappoint Tyumen residents, so it«s no surprise that some have started growing their own. Even without a dacha or garden plot, city dwellers are actively creating gardens right on their windowsills. Here»s what our readers have managed to cultivate.

For example, Yulia Kondinkina managed to grow mung beans.

«Mung beans sprout quite quickly: soak them for a day, and after four days you can eat full-grown sprouts. I tried sprouting sunflower and pea seeds, didn»t take photos, and the sprouts are already eaten,« she says.

Another reader«s windowsill yielded this lettuce. Looks very appetizing, doesn»t it?

Lettuce is a favorite among apartment gardeners. This woman grew some too, along with basil. Lovely!

This Tyumen woman can prepare a healthy breakfast without spending on microgreens. She grows her own.

And someone was lucky enough to grow their own tomatoes at home! True, they are still tiny and green, but you just need to be patient.

Winter is already in full swing, which means it«s time to prepare for the spring holiday — March 8. When and how to plant tulips at home — watch our video tutorial.
