What's on your kitchen windowsill?

[Stan79]

Yesterday it was...me! Redecorating the kitchen of our 300 year old thatch cottage with 1 metre thick walls. The kitchen sink is in front of the main window and the only way to paint that area is to climb on the worktop and into the window sill!

[Snadger]

Two Jalapeno chilli plants and a bunch of white lillies!

[Jungle Jane]

Ive got two pots of basil tomatoes ripening,houseplant that needs repotting,some pussy willow stems for decoration & a horseshoe,my kitchen windowsill faces Wales,its really sunny over there

[Nicos]

My windowsill is tiny!
(24"x12")!
On it is a basil plant,washing up liquid, liquid hand soap,a tiny,an empty tiny jam jar for some obscure reason! and a zapper to change the colour of the ceiling lights above the sink. (Bet no-one else has one of those!!!!!!)

Er, on our little kitchenette windowsill there is a kitchen utensil holder, a ceramic jar containing dish-washer tablets, half a bottle of white wine, and a cleaning sponge.

Having a stab at Phalonopsis! This picture may be a little dark, but do love the intensity of the blue, and if I pull it off will invest in a few more!



These things are an air of beauty! And would grow loads if I could, same with Daliha's, they need to be on my growing list this year!

The lemon geranium I've just trimmed and brought indoors, now it's getting a bit chilly at night.
2 x 6 hole modules sown one with cabbage, one with lettuce (to replace those nibbled by something in the greenhouse) and some Oleander cuttings in water, which don't look like they're going to root
Oh.... nearly forgot the tiny new Oleander Provence plant (I bought) that will live there 'til spring when it can go in the greenhouse.

NB: No kitchen related utensils or products were harmed by my use of the windowsill as a garden extension

Nothing...I am too scared to enter HER territory

Oh dear, Oh dear (shakes head in disbelief).


Half a bottle of wine amongst the cleaning stuff.

In case you have to do the washing up?

[bramble]

Not a very big kitchen window sill.
A bottle of washing up liquid, bottle of hand sanitizer, a vase of dahlias and a kitchen clock.

[Bren In Pots]

An unnamed house plant i was bought as a prezzie, double boiler saucepan, 3 tier steamer and a cycle pump.

Basil's still in the GH.

[mothhawk]

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

It's on an upstairs windowsill - it seems happier there.

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.

This year the basil is downstairs and the orchids upstairs

Also on the kitchen windowsill - a large ginger plant, already taller than the top of the window, a spider plant, an hibiscus that has been in flower since April and still lots of buds, a potted cutting of Munstead lavender, and a sweet pepper that gave me 3 good peppers in June then was chucked outside to fend for itself all summer. It produced 2 more little peppers so I relented and brought it back indoors last week to let them ripen.

And the penny pot is still in the corner.

About 40 nice big Giulietta toms I picked from the poly today. (Never put toms in the fridge!) and a pot of water with basil in it I also picked today.

Looks like it's going to chuck it down all day tomorrow in sunny Suffolk, so decided I will be making pasta sauce for freezing.

Also assorted chillies, I knocked off while picking ripe ones.

Nothing...I am too scared to enter HER territory

I have the same fear in "my house" GL and I daren't go near the Windows, I think she has an obsession about cleaning windows, as soon as I am finished with washing the dishes, she is through to check that I haven't splashed the Windows, in my exuberance of doing the dishes

[Scarlet]

A wire chicken for eggs ( but no
Eggs) 2 packs of seeds for sowing this month, a pot of tomato seeds fermenting, a load of cuttings all jammed in a jar - half of them rotting. Two chilli plants - a lemon drop and a hab....and a dirty wine glass from last night, I only wash them by hand and I haven’t got round to it!
