Wot - no Basil ? Nearly everyone has basil on their windowsill

It's on an upstairs windowsill - it seems happier there.Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostWot - no Basil ? Nearly everyone has basil on their windowsill
It probably finds the orchids too snooty..... or maybe it's just that I remember to water it upstairs, as the orchids downstairs seldom need water.Last edited by mothhawk; 11-09-2013, 08:40 PM.Location - Leicestershire - Chisit-land

On my upstairs windowsill I have:
basil
oops - a white orchid
watering jug
2 bottles of baby bio
3 dead batteries
an eraser
a pot of pencils/pens
a bottle of lavender essential oil
a stuffed Sylvester cat
a weather station (a repeater of the one downstairs)
a sweet pepper plant with one last pepper ripening
a pocket sized stuffed Snoopy
I don't have to be so tidy where no-one can see...

Don't have an upstairs, live in a downstairs flat. Sometimes I wish a UFO would take out the top floor.

Enough already with the basil! I like the pinche dout tops too I've never tried doing anything like that but maybe I should to try to have basil over the winter.
The contents of my windowsill hasn't changed much, but we have laid the burnt-out kettle to rest, and my watch is up there too as evidence I was doing the washing up.Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?Comment

The kitchen clock and a bottle of hand wash.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Loads of things, a clock, soap, candlesticks, a carving of a puffin my husband made for me, shells, bits and pieces, far too much but I love it! No plants because it's north facing.The best things in life are not things.Comment

Dwarf basil but it all died. Going to take some Aloe Vera clippings from my rather rampant plant & stick them there instead.Comment

2018 windowsills
Its raining so I was playing about with stuff on the windowsill - and remembered this old thread.
I have a yellow sticker Bromeliad that may, or may not, flower again;
An Aloe Vera in need of division,
A glass of tarragon cuttings (3 with roots),
Homosa tomatoes that need to be deseeded for saving,
An outdoor/indoor thermometer
and the usual washing up stuff.
On the other windowsill (which was a doorway when I started this thread!):-
An orchid that just finished flowering
A horrid greenflowered orchid that has nothing to recommend it and should be dumped
A pot of Amaryllis leaves from 2 bulbs that flowered a month back.
Orchid food.
Do you want to share yours? Anyone with Basil.
