March 25, 2011Q.Indoor Vegetable Growing
I am growing several different vegetables indoors until I can plant them outside. Some of which are squash, cucumbers, watermelon, tomatoes, and peppers. I started them all in a pellet tray and have recently planted them into pots. My question is, what are cucumbers and squash supposed to look like? Some of them are leaning over and some are standing up. The ones leaning over seem to me like they are dying. I know they are a vine, but they are tall and spindly looking.

Certified ExpertA.They have too little light. They need either a brighter window or you need to get a fluorescent bulb and place that a few inches above the seedlings.

ShrewsburyQ.Which Herbs Can I Plant During Winter

Certified ExpertA.If this is Shrewsbury Massachusetts, then you will be in zone 6a. This will put you in a very limited position when it comes to what herbs you can grow over the winter.
These two articles will give you some ideas, though:

Certified ExpertA.Unless you have full sunlight, all day, I would opt for low to medium light plants. I would recommend using soil, and not any other method of gardening until you are familiar with the subject. Then you can begin to venture to things, such as hydroponics, or other gardening methods.

Certified ExpertA.You will want to make sure that you have a way to measure humidity near your garden. You don't want it below 40 or 50 percent, but you don't want it to remain above 90 percent for too long.
Of course, it will depend on each plant, but this is a general consensus.
As long as you can maintain between 50 and 70 percent humidity, you should be fine. In fact, it may prove useful in keeping the humidity down when necessary.

Certified ExpertA.This may require the help of horticultural lighting! They will require an environment that replicates their native growing conditions, which will mean bright light, warmth, and a little extra humidity.
