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…

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!
