Herbs and spices that I can grow in these conditions?

I noticed that I fail at everything unless I do it myself and under my conditions, so I thought that maybe I could finally start making some money this way instead of getting throw out of another job and living a life way below poverty line.

So I live in Poland, I rent a place here, it has no garden, but I do have a ~15sqm room I do not use. What could I plant here (if anything) that I could sell online? Online because local stuff is really cheap in Poland and I would barely make any money.

There is no special lighting systems, there is no air heat control, no fancy stuff like that. It's just a simple room in a simple house. I do not have much savings, and I do have to pay rent monthly, and I do have trouble making money, so I cannot invest much. $50 at the most, and even that would be kind of hard.

Is there anything that I can grow to make money by selling it online within Europe (or elsewhere for that matter, but shipping would cost a lot then of course).

Please ask anything that might help you help me...

    Hi gardenings. Nothing will grow successfully in a house room. You need to have a good natural light supply otherwise the plants grow spindly and weak. You would really need a greenhouse. I would love to be more positive but i really recommend that you try something else to raise money before you spend a lot on plants, pots, seeds etc.

    See original post

     I do a lot of things myself by reusing things I find, so a lot of money would be saved that way. For example, I imagine saving on pots that way.

    The best I can do is make a greenhouse somewhere in the forest and hope nobody will raid it, which of course isn't good.

    As for making more money, I've been trying to do so since I was 16, now I'm in mid-20s and still failing at it.

    Either way, thanks for your reply.

    Hi gardenings.

    It is possible to grow plants without natural light but you would have to invest in a decent lighting system and ensure that your plants received the optimum amount of nutrients. Its an expensive business so you wouldn't make any money from this.

    Hi Gardenings

    I agree with the others - nothing will grow in a room in a house without a lot of expensive equipment.  Can you get a job working for a garden centre or plant nursery - that way you can learn about growing things and earn a wage at the same time - then maybe one day you can achieve your ambition and have your own gardening business.

    Good luck image

    Mushrooms?
