Rosemary
mint
chives
tomatoes
basil bith green and red
curry plant
thyme
Have done chilis before but didnt produce much at all.

What can i grow in a window box, it is very hot in my kitchen, what can i grow now

As a rubbish gardner that does not have too much time on their hands but likes things to look pretty I would go for geraniums every time. I am really really good at looking after them and I do nothing at all except dead head them They flower all winter and are very hardy, even in artificial "drought" conditions.

Some might say that my window boxes are a little uniform but no-one can say they are not colourful.

but you cant eat them can you?

No - just realised you want edible things

How about trying something exotic? Or what about lavender? You can eat that and it smells and looks nice to boot - check out the types that are edible (I think it's the normal type)

strawberries?

We're growing lots of edible things in containers this summer, so would all be possible in window boxes - we have carrots, radishes, salad leaves, spinach, peas, and also strawberries in a hanging basket, as they grow over the edge and don't go rotten. It is much cheaper than those bags of salad from the supermarket which go soggy so quickly, and taste much better. Plus, you can be organic if you want.

Strawberries - very good idea. Easy to grow and for the two of you, you can have an instant pudding most nights in season.

You would need alot of strawberry plants to get enough for pudding, my garden is full of them(over 15 plants) and i never have enough to do anything with but the kids love picking them

Guess it depends on how many you eat. I have a bowl full in my desk drawer ATM.
