Window Gardening in Winter Boxes for Bright Indoor Blooms

Winter window gardening suggests using boxes rather than small pots for better growth. Boxes may be kept outdoors in summer and brought inside in winter if made water tight with zinc or galvanized iron. Include holes at the bottom to drain surplus water and mount on brackets or sills. Plant geraniums heliotrope fuchsias begonias and ferns for variety. add annuals from seed for ongoing bloom. Mornings glories can climb ends, while English ivy adds greenery without flowers. Carnations violets and pansies tolerate cool rooms. roses may thrive in warm moisture from a kitchen. Wandering Jew along edges provides a trailing border. cover boxes with colored paper or drapery. Some homes with deep window casings can install brackets or shelves to maximize sun without clutter.
