Scuse me guv - got some windowsill going spare

[zazen999]

I'm gonna do this tonight - 2 pots though - with different beans in it.

I haven't many windowsills spare, but there's always my mum's house!

[snakeshack]

nowindow sills spare here either,already have temporary windowsill shelves and have filled my mum's too

[pipscariad]

Brilliant idea! I have spare windowsills and then some - applications to rent one on a postcard please peeps, all proceeds towards the sending me to the World Pilot Gig Championships Fund (see General Chitchat Grape Afloat thread, which I am about to post!).

Only problem is that I haven't any seeds yet, but I shall soon remedy that! Oo, I can taste those beans now....

[maytreefrannie]

Brilliant idea - will start them off today.

Thanks, PW.

What a great idea! Going to give this a go as i cant get anything outside yet.

Just raided my mums seed stash and found some Safari, Purple Queen and Sonesta. Any reason not to stick a couple of each in the same pot for a mix?

Window sills? Nah, don't do them there 'ere, only outside ones between the windows and the volets.

There are radiators underneath my windowsills. Will they be too hot?

The rad is turned off in the guest room but I'm not sure the light is good enough in there

[webby23]

Hmmm, the office has lots of windowsills - wonder if anyone would notice..........

[bazzaboy]

Good idea PW but the only spare windowsill left at the mo is the loo so not sure guests will be keen to come for lunch... Ah well, I won't tell 'em, I'll move 'em by then.... So have planted up 12 x "Royalty" (a purple dwarf french bean) and look forward to the jokes if not the beans.... b.

[cheerfulness]

Sure if I did a bit of shifting around I could fit a pot on somewhere. I LOVE this idea.

Its a grand idea, but I have no windowsills in my flat suitable, my best window has a radiator beneath it -perhaps if I made a long thin table to put in front it might just work?

[FoxHillGardener]

oooh what a good idea - what temperature do they need to germinate? My conservatory is at about 10 degrees at the moment. Would that be warm enough?

Living in a house of narrow windowsills, I started mine off in a pot which I put on an old drawers-stand-thingy, standing about a foot from the window. It's in the kitchen.

4 to 6 seeds in a 10 inch pot seems quite a lot. don't they get overcrowded as they grow or do you thin them out a bit ?
