Most peoples priorities are for herbs and salad - although you can grow all sorts of things, from aubergines, to tomatoes, to sugar snaps - even those great short carrots (parmex etc)
Here is a cut and come again salad mix growing in a windowbox on the office balcony. At the moment, we are growing baby pak choi leaves, spinach, mizuna and land cress. There are also a few baby leeks in there - which I like to use in salads a bit like spring onions.
We also have a few windowboxes of herbs - chives, sage, thyme etc... Here we've added a few annual red salvias to brighten up the planting, along with the evergreen Heuchera 'Palace Purple'. Just beginining to trail over the front are some great double red petunias which are going to look fantastic against the black terrazzo planter - and should start flowering just as the salvias begin to fade.
