Our Window-sill Garden

by: pcjjap

Mood: tired & hot!

All these window plants were planted about two weeks ago and my back lobby is like a glass green-house,s o they've grown really fast :). The apple tree and the advocado were planted a lot longer ago - 3 years (almost) and last summer respectively.

The whole lot!

  

American Salad (like watercress)

 

Runner beans (grown in ice-cream sundae dishes - the stands are also lids, so make great incubators!

Left-Right : pumpkins, sunflowers, tomato plants and peas (this is the boys tray - the girls have one too) - where am I going to plant these all out too? I can't see the pumpkins growing too big in this little tray!!

Jacob's apple tree :)

A random advocado stone that got planted!

Ours is <a rel="nofollow" href=\"http://tworedboots.co.uk/blog/?p=1087\">a bit bigger than that</a> and we only planted it a year ago! Has it been outside? Perhaps that\'s why it\'s smaller than ours. I\'ve been wondering whether ours would survive out of the conservatory?

The hutch, on top of which it lives, comes inside the porch for the winter, but goes out again the first sight of spring - too messy with the guinea pigs saw-dust and all!

    Tip for the avocado - repot into large deep pot and then pinch out the growing tip. Seems cruel, but it makes the trunk thicken up and it puts out side shoots and makes more leaves. Other wise you\'ll end up with a 4\' skinny trunk with half a dozen leaves right on the top! Will blog pic of my 3 year old avocado once I get the camera working again. :)
