But urban centers are another story and kudos to Britta!  Actually, growing in one's apartment might be analogous to growing in a greenhouse.  For us gardeners in Hawaii indoor growing might keep out those pests!  Or, will it bring them in?  Although I do not live in an apartment, perhaps someday soon I will find the time to try a windows farm!  Love it!
