It sounds like you have to make an indoor greenhouse growing
situation. My brother tried growing vegetables outside progressed to
one of those arched greenhouse things of PVC and plastic, then went
into a closet, which grew into a corner of the living room and now he
has converted an old milking shed into a greenhouse, with grow lights
(there is no natural light). I know what he misses most about SoCal
is growing his hot peppers and corn, but I don't know if he can grow
them satisfactorily under those conditions.... he's growing regular
sweet peppers now, so we'll see what happens in th future. The nice
part of his set up is that he has taken Mother Nature out of the
formula. No more worrying about too little light or heat.
