regarding growing plants in the garden...Roxy
If you don't have light then the best thing to grow would be mushrooms - they don't need light and happily grow in a dark damp place. We have kit form ones over here that you buy in a box - I don't know if you have ever seen them in Australia Roxy?
There are plants that will grow around the house that don't like light - such as 'parlour palms' etc, but if you want to grow something to eat inside, you will need light.
I have seen some lovely bookcases fitted with full-spectrum fluorescent globes that grow beaut indoor arrays, but after water, a plant needs light to photosynthesize and grow or it just becomes compost.
If you choose to make an indoor garden an aquarium shop will be able to help you with the lighting; but it would be more for the plants company in the room or a place to sprout seeds (snow pea sprouts) than an economical way of getting food.
On the otherhand, homegrown is priceless... ?
