Windowsill plants

At the moment the only plants that I have on the windowsill at home are this small house leek, in a three inch clay pot, and a spider plant.

      

 

The three pots each planted with three hyacinths which have been in a cool, dark place since I planted them.  This is the best pot with the tallest plant now about a couple of inches high.

 

I tried growing gazania rigens Talent Yellow from seed last year without success.  I’ve bought some more to try again, and hope to do better this time.

 

I generally grow one or two tomato plants in pots on the windowsill but they’ve never done that well but I keep trying.  This year it will be with the variety Tiny Tim.

It rained for much of yesterday, and today it’s sunny but much colder with the temperature feeling around 0C.  It looks like staying like that until at least the middle of next week so I’ll be just taking a quick look round the plot most days.

Have a good weekend!

  1. Our weather sounds much the same. I remember my mum having spider plants around the house when I was a child but it’s a plant I’ve never grown myself. I don’t tend to have many house plants, just the odd orchid or two.

  2. I have no green thumb when it comes to house plants, so admire those who grow them with success. The house leek looks like a succulent. Succulents are very popular in the US.

  3. Both your house leek and spider plant look happy in their respective pots while the hyacinths look strong and healthy. I have a spider plant too but mine is not as beautiful.
    Hope you have better luck with your next attempt to grow tomatoes on your windowsill.
    Thanks and same to you!
