Has anyone tried to grow an organic container garden inside with grow lights?

Here is someone that is doing it….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5jYdwMqPbk I have heard that people are also growing fruit trees indoors with grow lights. Has anyone tried this?

Gardening: I tried to plant some organic melon seeds outside and the birds ate half of them and…?

has anyone else had an experience like this and what can I do to stop those little turd birds. Fortunately I have more of these seeds.
