Happy Tuesday to all my garlic cloves out there!
Last night I weeded and weeded and weeded some more. It was pretty chilly, so my hands were frozen by the time nightfall rolled around. As I stood at the kitchen sink letting the water warm my hands, I thought about how much time I spend there.
I wrote a post a few months ago that I called “Ode to Kitchen Sinks and Windowsill Plants.” I argued that while the kitchen sink is not glamorous, the kitchen would come to a standstill without it.
But it’s not just the kitchen windowsill I love so much. It’s windowsills in general.
This is the windowsill in my “Plant Hospital.” Cuttings are one of my favorite aspects of indoor gardening – growing my own new plants offers tremendous satisfaction.
I always seem to have lots growing. Yet I’m considering taking on more, as in herbs and vegetables. Why I don’t already have an herb garden growing is beyond me.
I went looking for ideas to further decorate my windowsills, and found this on Apartment Therapy’s site. I love it.
This is another one from Apartment Therapy. That site always inspires me to look for creative containers for my plants. I’m going to enjoy looking for something in which to plant my herbs.
So tell me, what’s growing on your windowsills?

Those tea container great! Having herbs in the house helps me use them…as when they are outside…and I am cooking…they do not get used as frequent. Matti

Right now on my windowsill are 3 African Violets and a tray of indoor seedlings. I always have high hopes for plants growing on my kitchen windowsill but I still manage to let them dry up and die, even with the sink right below them.

I love this post! I never thought about windowsills beyond the one in my kitchen. I love all of yours, especially your ‘plant hospital’.

Your glass containers are really attractive with coloured stones. The tea containers are lovely too.

You are all so sweet for checking out my blog. I know – Apartment Therapy has the best ideas for growing things indoors, especially in small spaces. I have lots of space but am short on time and (formerly) determination.

What’s growing on my windowsill? You don’t seriously want to know. I only have one sill that belongs to me, and there’ve got to be at least 20 plants there (and that’s only on the inside) – the outside sill is full of ivy.
