I have 3 beautiful grow tents in my living room - I had already started buying them with the intention of growing my own food (And bonus crops) at home.
I had already shut out the world! My life hasn't changed very much at all. :D I play the sounds of campfires, streams and nature sounds, and have fake bugs & birds pinned up around the room - my "Virtual Reality".
When my plants (fruit, veggies, grains - I have 4 small trees growing!) get bigger I will open the tent flaps to make this room into my Atrium.
I created my own indoor park! (It's pretty cozy! There is a real fireplace back there too, if I need it.) I don't actually want to leave my house!
...it's such a nice place to lay back and think of my my friends! ;)
{ ...and if you already have a grow tent around, stick some veggies in there!}
