What's on your kitchen windowsill?

[veggiechicken]

I have 3 jamjars with tomato armpits, 6 bits of sprouting sweet potato, some rosemary cuttings, 4 cabbage sideshoots in water (to see whether they'll root), a mushroom tray with carrot and turnip tops and leek bottoms in water (to see whether they'll root/sprout), fermenting tomato seeds and some houseplant cuttings.
No wonder I can hardly see out
Anyone else want to join me in the confessional

I have some tomatoes seeds in water, my runner beans drying, sloes waiting patiently for gin, rosehips and haw berries waiting for a spare moment, meteor pea seeds all 17 1/2 of them standing in a line waiting for a number 22 bus to the allotment, and 5 butternut squashes desperately trying to ripen.

My conscience is fairly clear There are a couple of fuschia cuttings in a water bottle and the resident Christmas cactus - which has decided it's nearly xmas cos it has flower buds already

Fundamental flaw in our house design is patio doors only in the living area. And the window cills are outside anyway! On the floor are geraniums in pots, chillies in pots and a heap of squashes finishing off. Not very impressive.

I've only got a very small kitchen windowsill, but I've got tomato seeds drying, garlic bulbils sprouting (hopefully), lavender drying, and some tomato armpits hopefully rooting. Also a couple of fuchsia cuttings in water.

[darcyvuqua]

[zazen999]

Garlic in china dish, lots of small utensils, bottle with fake poppy in it [bought for a friend's wedding but she forgot to take it with her], lady cheese grater, 2 grape cuttings, measuring cups, bottle of milton, hydrometer and measure, hand wash and that gel stuff for hands, an array of sponges and 5 micro propagation doo das that we did last week at Wakehurst Place.

On mine I have son no2's cacti which I repotted for him in the summer, and he's yet to take them up to his window sill and 3 Christmas cacti pots (two were new cuttings in the spring, the other I salvaged after my neighbour looked after it too well in the summer while we were on holiday, and all it's roots rotted off). I've two very small squash and one red hmong cucumber ripening.
I've also got a breadmaker, expressio coffee machine, coffee grinder and teapot. The window is a bay one, so as the kitchen is tiny I have to keep some stuff on there, except in the spring, when seedling take pride of place.

How did you get the sweet pots to sprout. I have just cut a bit off a large tuber, what do I do with it now.... help

Of course you may ask a question
The Tomato armpits thing, for me anyway, is an experiment to see whether I can keep a plant going through the winter. Not the actual plant that I start with but I'm hoping to be able to keep taking armpits or tops off the plants, rooting them in water and potting on, all the way through 'til spring.
Give it a go darcy, see what happens

I've got two orchids just finishing flowering, a spider plant, two jars of pumpkin, orange and apple jam I made this afternoon, a vase with the last of the sweet peas in it, and the penny jar, where all the loose small change collects. My kitchen is on the front of the house so I keep it fairly tidy
