Upcoming project: I've discovered that I appear to have supports for a windowbox outside the window of my bedroom. This is clearly the best thing ever. I suppose I should probably ping my landlord before I do anything too outrageous, but I've already got my heart set on the window garden idea, which has progressed from "pretty flowers" to "food". Think I could pull off tomatoes in a two-or-three-foot window planter, or should I stick to herbs? The Roommate thinks that hot peppers would be a great idea ("they're really pretty!") but I am unconvinced, largely because I don't particularly like hot peppers...

only if you lived in a warmer climate...

although, if you're willing to put in _a lot_ of extra work to make them happy, then yeah. and all tomatoes do grow very well in containers...

I highly encourage this...Fried Green Tomatoes...

Dude, you can *totally* grow tomatoes in this climate, they do fine. My mom's done it every summer since I can remember... the only question is the container thing.
