Window sill gardening

Apart from whether it would be a good environment for peaches, anything grown is going to have direct sunlight on one side only.. thinking about it probably not best for a tree.. perhaps something less tree/bush like would be better.. a vine perhaps, which could be trained around the window.. and still leave space for the tomato's in the window sill. Do you REALLY mean that the room is eleven inches high? If you mean feet, then you have a fair amount of space. I would NOT recommend a peach, as they are tricky. My Feijoa has flowered for the first time, and I am overjoyed to find that the (very decorative and edible) flowers are SWEET! As it also has attractive leaves, and is drought resistant, you might like to try it. But the real question is how hot you keep that room, how much ventilation it gets and how much sun it gets. I have a kaffir lime (again from seed, bought as a fruit in Leicester Square, and the leaves are used in Thai cooking), and can strongly recommend it. But citrus don't like overheated or dark conditions. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
