it if autumn where I live and I was wondering if there were any crops I could grow inside due to winter's approach. I would grow winter crops outside however it can be quite tiresome and annoying having to tend to vegetables in below freezing temperatures.

I would normally simply search crops to grow inside on the internet, however this year I am looking for more personal opinions from people.

if this is in the wrong forum I apologize, I am not 100% sure whether to post this in 'Ask a question' or this forum.

Is a good forum for this, but how much room do you have and how warm and light is your 'indoor'?
Winter gardens in the south include collard greens, mustard greens ( I grow Purple Wave mustard and love it) Arugula, cilantro, rainbow chard, radishes, parsley, fennel, mints, blue curled kale, or Russian Red kale, broccoli, cauliflower, green onions, onion chives....
would any of those be interesting to you?

I have alot of room for multiple medium pots of things, I do not however have space for one big pot. It is on average about 21-23°C ( 70-73F). I can allow my plants to have direct light or I can use mesh to dim the light.

Yes! thank you those suggestions sound nice

I'm going to try growing some stuff indoors this winter. South Arkansas winters aren't too bad - not like other areas - but we do get cold weather. I have been trying to read up on growing indoors in the winter & am putting a plan together.

I can use my kids' old bedrooms but there's only the overhead light & two small windows. The best room I think is the dining room. It was originally the carport so it's solid brick wall on two sides (L shape) & the other two sides are all windows. The problem with using this room is that it's a big open room that I can't shut off because it's between the kitchen & our bedroom, & my husband drags his oxygen tubing back & forth. This will be the first winter with the four dogs, cat & kitten. Three of the dogs are old & have always ignored my houseplants. But the youngest dumped dog & the cats are going to be a problem.

I am trying to grab up what potting soil, perlite, compost, etc. I can now because I know from past experience the stores will do away with them as they fill shelves with Christmas. I'm washing containers & making holes in the bottoms for drainage if they don't already have them.

I think watering is going to be a hassle since I won't be able to carry most of the pots to the bathtub or shower or sink. We don't have carpet in those rooms but I still don't want a wet mess. I've been looking in places like thrift stores for things like large cake pans to place under any pots. We still have plastic bread trays from my husband's old route so I think I'll set pots on those & slide the cake pans underneath. This will allow air circulation & the water to drain. I can then watch the pans & slide out as needed. Bricks or pavers would work the same.

I think I'll be using a moisture meter for my watering. I will also be using a humidifier & maybe one of those small fans. And grow lights!

A tip I've read about is to put a piece of cardboard against the window pane to insulate any plants you have nearby. Before I add anything to my pots, I'm also thinking about wrapping bubble wrap around the pots.

Biggest problem is lack of light.
Least light demanding crops are leafy crops. But you are still asking a plant to convert light energy to plant material and you cannot cheat the physics of that. Less light = less growth. Winter sunlight is weaker and shorter hours than summer by far.
