Howdy folks! I wanna find out how we grow beans or peas indoors since it's winter up north. What are the conditions to grow them in our living rooms or kitchens? Please let me know if you need me in this forum and share your thoughts or ideas to make this topic edifying. Take care!

I grew some mini beans indoors.  They were about 6 inches tall and designed for container gardens.   Pollination by paintbrush or tickling worked fine, but we didn't get enough natural light for them to flourish.

If I did it again,  I would use grow lights.

But I don't know if we will as it was less bother to blanch and freeze the summer harvest.   I would probably grow them for the joy of having an edible house plant rather than a crop.
 
Whatever. Here's a tiny ad:
