Southern sunny window

I have a long window seat that faces east in my dining room and it's filled with houseplants. It's really neat because it has 4 drawers and 2 cupboards under it, lots of nice storage space. The plants look pretty there. I'll probably move them for a couple of weeks, though, once I pot my seeds.

Any seeds I start, I have to do outside. Otherwise I have two kitties who will be enjoying a salad and sprout buffet. Mostly I have perennials, so there isn't much to start. Did you ever identify that mystery sprout?

Yes I do but most of the time I will take the seeding outside during the day if it is really nice...I plant a garden in the summer of just about the same things you got going there...let us know how your garden grows when it starts coming up...XXOO

Right now I have started some indoor green house boxes that you can get at lowe's lol!! I have over 72 plants started and hopefully all will grow and I'll have a nice garden and I still have more to get to be honest. I have corn, beans, lettuce, cukes, zuccini, and much much more growing.

We are due for a big garden clean-up, as we are heading into winter soon. I like to have everything weeded and neat, so we're going to do that in the school holidays, which start on the weekend.

Hi GRANDPA BOB, The little cups with the seedlings looks great and getting a lot of sun on them is perfect, I haven't done anything yet but will grow some tomatoes soon. Tamara

I do have a few south facing windows but none that would accomodate something like this AGB even if I were good at gardening! Maybe one of these days I will develop my skills and we may even get a greenhouse - we already have a base in the garden! xxx

The only windows that face south in my house are a small one in the bathroom and another one in my kitchen that faces the neighboring house a foot and a half away! So, no, no plants in my south windows.

We have only one window that faces the south and it is in the dining area so no, we never put any type of plant there. It really don't get that much sun coming in that window either.

Hi grandpa, I am living with my husband in a 3 bedroom house and we only use one and of course living room my other rooms are kind a empty so i use them as a nursery lol. I already planted lot of vegetables there almost 1.5 month ago, 2 kind of tomatoes ( grape and big) , eggplants, cucumbers, beans, 3 kind of peppers ( chili, bell, and green), radish, parsley, basil etc... My husband is always having fun with me, when he comes and can not find me he knows where to look, he always says that i know you were in the garden lol, He means my nursery rooms. My cucumbers and tomatoes plants are already big enough to plant outside, I am just waiting one more week and then will start planting them outside, Even though i am have a huge arachnophobia oh yes i am a gardener! I like to watch them growing and use all these fresh vegetables in my dishes!!! have a wonderful day!!

You really are organized with your seeds! And you are getting lots of sunshine from that window, that's for sure! I hope they all take and you get to enjoy lots of yummy fruits and veggies this year. Myself, I have started with a basil plant and a mint plant and have already made another basil plant from cuttings from my original plant. I am going to give that to one of my friends who is always giving me stuff. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

I don't normally take the time to start my stuff in the house before putting it outside. I am kind of wishing I did though since this weather does not seem to ever want to warm up.

My roommate is going to start them today. all the veg. and where is the cabbage? I'm so good at the planting or much of the weeding I hate it. I buy all the seeds and plants and what ever else. And let him plant in my yard. My poor grass is now a garden. Hope all your plants grow and you have a lot to eat. Your friend onlydia

The southern window is a good idea...my grandmother used to grow her own veggies and in springtime her entire kitchen was full of these cups containing the newly sprouted plants. I hope you have a garden large enough to grow those plants, as they will require more and more room and sun as you go. Also, when they reach maturation, you will see that homegrown veggies are way tastier than those purchased at the grocer's and you have the chance of eating veggies that are ripe instead of the green ones they often put on the market.
