nic's Windowsill garden

Garden Type: Windowsill | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Potting Mix

This garden has been archived.

I have nine windowsills around my house that I am attempting to grow a variety of different things on – from the usual parsley and basil, to chilis and tomatoes…

26 June: Moved to the bigger and better Rooftop Terrace Garden!

    Hi Nic, Thanks for the invite to your lovely site. I’ve been looking for something like this in paper form for a long time! I invited Urbanwide as a fellow allotmenteer. She has skills in the dark arts of ‘application development’ too but don’t say I told ya. I don’t realise how much variety I’m growing either until I see people glazing over when I’m a third of the way through answering, “So, what do you grow on your allotment then?” Can’t wait to get my full list together here. Thanks again!
