Welcome to the site!

I set up this site to share my experiences of growing and harvesting fruit and veg. from my very own windowboxes - Having no real garden of my own, it's been a fun experiment to see what's done well and what hasn't - Hopefully you can learn from some of my mistakes!
Two years on and things are still going well, proving that you can get reasonable crops and have an attractive windowbox to boot....
