>>1090546I use lots of "wild" plants for salad greens all the time. That and local nut trees. Most of the better wild plants are actually naturalized invasives that escaped the gardens of the settlers here in the USA. They became less popular as food crops and were eventually replaced. Like purslane (Portulaca oleracea), broadleaf plantain (Plantago major), and lamb's quarter (Chenopodium album) which came from Africa, Europe, and Asia. So, if you are looking for local wild plants to cultivate, you need to take that into account. Will you plant anything local that isn't used locally or will you only plant those plants that are originally native to the area? If it is the latter, you'll need to do some research on each one to find out. Like the two main dandelion species more people are familair with in the USA are actually invasives from Europe and in Europe purslane is an invasive from Africa.
>>1090419I used a shelving unit with lights on the bottom of the shelf above the plant.
>>1090669Stick the seeds in the soil and water them. Keep the soil slightly moist, but not water logged or dry. The best thing you can do is google the care tips specifically for the plants you want to grow. Like the only herb I grow in the winter is garlic tops. I just plop a hole garlic bulb into a pot of soil and give it a bit of water. It sits on the window sill and starts growing eventually. I use them a lot so I normally have many bulbs growing at once and take snippets off some here and there. That window only gets 4 hours of direct sunlight, but they don't seem to mind. Everything else I grow indoors requires extra lighting. It is really nice, to have all that greenery, when it looks like this outside (pic).
