Hello everyone...
Let me start by saying I'm a complete gardening novice. Completely. The last plant I was responsible for was a house plant my mum gave me when I started uni 10 years ago, saying that if I could keep the plant alive she wouldn't worry about me looking after myself (needless to say, the plant died. I, thankfully, am still alive ).
Anyway, DP and I have moved into a lovely new flat, which, like all the others I've lived in before, doesn't have a garden. What it does have is four gorgeous big sash windows in the living room and window boxes along the whole length of the house. The living room is south-west facing so gets lots of light.
I'd really like to do something with the boxes but I'm at a total loss of what to do. Should I wait now until spring before putting things in? What sort of things do you plant in window boxes? I think it would be something that's good for me to do, and also it's a gorgeous road and I want the neighbours to like us .
Any tips/advice very gratefully received!

Can I ask you to talk to me about window boxes?
