Hello, all, from a newbie to the list.

Been eating peppers of all types for as long as I can remember, but have
never tried to grow my own.  Since the local stores around here only
carry about 5 different varieties (not including Bells), I'd like to try
my hand at growing my own.

Now, even though I live in California, not too far from the Turbetti
Pepper farm, I have no good place to grow them except for indoors.  The
only room that gets any good sunlight is the master bedroom on the 2nd
floor, so my plan is to get a decent little hydroponics kit from
Greentrees (possibly a Hydrofarm 'Emily's Garden' or MegaGarden), and a
small lighting setup, and set it up on the 'workbench' in the garage.

For those of you experienced in growing your own hydropnically, how
feasible does this scenario sound?  Would I be wasting my time and money?
I wanted to go with the kits because I know practically nothing about
hydroponics and didn't want to try building my own setup.  I also rent the
house I live in, so doing much, if any, modification to the house or
backyard won't be possible.

Any and all info will be appreciated.

-joe
