Windowsill Planter
By Stacey
United Kingdom
I have a small planter (about 2 feet long and 6 inches wide) which hangs outside the windowsill of my flat. I would like to use it to grow some herbs or small vegetable plants but not sure which ones will be most successful. Any suggestions?

I agree with hoya, I have exactly the same size window boxes and mine are always filled with herbs along with a couple of nasturtiums which tumble over and down and add colour (the leaves are delicious and peppery and the flowers can be used in salads), I do have to thin out the flowers a bit so they dont overcrowd the herbs.

If it is in full sun try a tomato such as 'Tumbling tim' or get 3 different herbs like parsley, basil and mint - these would all appreciate the sun as long as they got plenty of water and feed. If its shady - then more difficult - try a small strawberry - maybe the alpine ones - tiny fruit but very sweet. good luck!
