Good starting choices
- Leafy greens such as lettuce, kale and spinach. They grow quickly and suit most systems.
- Herbs such as basil, mint, parsley, cilantro, chives and oregano.
- Fruiting plants such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. These need larger systems, more light and support.
- Flowers such as marigolds and petunias.
