Pick the windowsills which get the most sun during the day for your window boxes

Watching your vegetables grow every day is really fun, but be careful not to water them too much

Plant pretty rainbow chard and lovely smelly herbs for the most beautiful, fragrant windows

Start with the vegetables you eat the most like tomatoes (the tumbling kind for window boxes) and lettuce and you’ll notice the difference in taste straight away

Root vegetables like beetroot and chard are really easy to grow and don’t need much attention. It is so easy to tell when they are ready as the pink or purple bulbs pop out of the soil
