    I'm sorry. We do not provide services for gardening; however, we do provide information for gardening. Here is a link to information for growing various edibles in your garden: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/ In addition, a quick search online in your area should turn up local gardeners/landscapers that may be of more help with doing the actual work if that is what you need.

    There are a lot of factors that can affect flavor, and to be honest, it would be hard to say in your specific setting if growing indoors would negatively affect the flavors.

    That being said, from a pure ease of care standpoint, I would recommend that you try growing on your balcony. Growing indoors, even with supplemental light, is difficult with vegetables. The need enormous amounts of light and even shady areas outside often provide more light. Plus, space is a factor. Unless you are sticking to plants like leaf lettuce or herbs, your balcony likely provides more space either vertically or horizontally than a grow tent will.

    You can also try to see if there are any allotment gardens in your area. These are often rented out for free or at low cost and give people a place to grow food close to home. Here is more information on them, if you are interested:
