Scuse me guv - got some windowsill going spare

[BrideXIII]

neighbours off to Mexico tomorrow, feeding wabbits, have key, and access to windowsills.......and permission!!!!

mum told me off today, said house is for living in? not a greenhouse

boy! does she not get it!

[BrideXIII]

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?

MDF! knock up a basic 'bookcase' that sits over/against the radiator, two shelves, i have 4 all my propogators go on them, after spring they all get put away.

And isn't it for living in? - for the plants as well as people!

Absolutely brilliant, getting the extra windowsill space.

I am going to kill PW, i am running out of pots now let alone windowsill space, turned out the pack of french beans i have ARE dwarf so they are going in tomorrow, god knows what in though

[veg crazy]

I'm glad you have posted this I was wanting to start my french beans off but the packet said April would it work with my runner beans too????

[Flummery]

They are being kept indoors on a windowsill till they flower and fruit, Veg crazy - so no - I wouldn't do it with runners! It's to get an early crop in the house. Wait till April if you are growing beans outdoors in the usual way.

if you still have some windowsill to spare maybe one of these will be good

I've put in 2 pots of dwarf beans [although I'm not convinced one is a dwarf but anyway]...and this morning I've got a compost eruption and lo and behold - there are beans poking through.

Thanks PW. A star as usual.

Did 2 bean post last weekend so hope to get something nice in a couple of months!

Oh and ive got a couple of those windowsill propagators and they are very good. Perfect fit for me.

Anyone having luck with their french beans? Mine are up and running.. I didn't have a dwarf variety, so looking forward to a leafy kitchen window.

Do you think this would work with peas as well, I have some Kelvedon Wonder left from last year and was looking for a project for the kids to do on the kitchen windowsill.

[Gwen11ian]

Peas work great for growing pea tops for stir-fries, salads, etc. There are some threads on here for that. Don't know if their self-fertile or not, so may have trouble getting baby peas if you grow them on.

Mine are not doing anything yet, but its only just over a week.

Well I'm pretty sure they are self-fertile so I might give it a go. Thanks.

Nothing showing on mine yet, but I'm looking forward to seeing them... checking them a few times every day.
