Having sun coming directly through a sunny window is particularly important for indoor growing, as well as for starting seeds. A room that is light enough for most people is generally not sufficiently bright for vegetables to thrive. The intensity of light decreases rapidly from a window to the center of a room. Modern window glazing impedes the rays coming in from the sun just as it keeps drafts and cold temperatures out of the room. Consequently, an apparently bright, sunny room that is lit by indirect sunlight may be pleasant to sit in and perfectly fine for many houseplants, but it is not bright enough for many vegetables, such as summer squash or eggplants.

Unless you have a bright, south-facing room with lots of window space, some supplemental light will be essential for indoor growing.
