what allotment stuff do you have on your windowsills?

[manicscousers]

I've just been looking around and realised 'ordinary'people wouldn't put up with this  ;D
on one windowsill I have tissue with tomato seed drying, beans drying in small pots(5 varieties),
next one has a tray of sweet potatoes and a vase of lavender and statice drying out
next has squash to say nothing of the dining room table full of tomatoes ripening in trays  ;D

tomato seed drying out on kitchen towel is mandatory!!

Not for the allotment, but milk bottles with fuchsia cuttings on the go!

I only have one windowsill good for this. It's full up with squash :)

I don't live in a display home. I live in a working farmhouse!

What else are windowsills for?

(Still trying to convince OH of this....)

Up to 10 mins ago I was with Tony... but my tomato seed has now moved from the windowsill in water to papertowel at the back... (Greek, Anannas and Black Prince)  :)

Squashes - and Peppadew seeds drying on paper towels, but they are from my garden and indoor plants as I don't have an allotment.

Five chilli plants that I'm hoping to overwinter and a milk bottle with begonia cuttings in it.  Soon there will be pumpkin seeds drying.

[Digeroo]

Beans for seed in pods drying.    The chillis will be joining them soon.

I don't live in a display house either I spend far too long allotmenting. ::) ::)

[Digeroo]

I forgot to mention the bucket full of dwarf beans they are just starting to flower.

wish I had  :(I forgot to save seed from vicky tomatoes a variety I can't get anymore :( :( >:(

[Jeannine]

Ah.. apartment living now!! Full length planters in bedrooms containing... herb garden in one. Minature tom plants on the other and amazingly the little tomato plants are growing quite well, must be the altitude, maybe the light is better .

I also have some  various tree seeds germinating nicely.. wrong time I know but I just had to play with something!!

tomato plants from summer cuttings x 2. Greek basil cuttings, various saved seeds from this year in differring pots, soon to join them would be Vietnamese coriander.

[Sparkly]

It seems I am not that bad afterall:

Butter beans and bolotti drying on trays
3 chilli plants to overwinter

soon will be followed by saving some squash and tomato seeds and I will plant some dwarf tomato seeds from fresh.

[Obelixx]

Pumpkins and squashes hardening their skins and 5 chilli plants I plan to keep going plus 6 more which I'll keep till their fruits ripen and 2 each of basil and flat leaf parsley to be joined soon by a bay and thyme.

[shirlton]

Kitchen windowsill = 2toms in glasses waiting to rot for the seed and a jar of labels in bleach. some poppy seeds drying off and some bags of flower seeds drying. Ist spare bedroom= 4 marrows and several gourds. 2nd spare bedroom several squash and 2 trays of beans that have had to be demoted to the spare bed. Lavender hanging from the pelmet and gourds where and when they fit. At the moment the lounge and our bedroom havent got anything but ornaments on them but wait until the Spring ;D ;D ;D

Looked at the title of this thread and thought "this is a spring question" - temporarily forgetting that one of my sills is completely filled with ripening tomatoes - now mostly ripe. Also have the obligatory drying tomato seed (yellow peach).

[manicscousers]

spring is an entirely different thread  ;D
just wondered what visitors think  ;D

Visitors have got used to it around ours! In fact they comment on 1 of the rooms which is used in spring to start seeds off - they like to see the room with and without the plants  ::)

At the moment there are pumpkins, a chilli plant to overwinter and some geranium cuttings. Around mid afternoon there will also probably be a cat !
