Plants that you can cut the outer leaves and allow the plant to continue growing provide a continuous indoor garden harvest. Greens grow extremely well in containers. What size containers? Any size containers will suffice. Grow them using a grow plug or coco coir. The plugs and coir are not messy like soil would be indoors. This helps keep your indoor garden neat and clean.
