Even if you've only got a windowsill, you can still grow some lovely grub.
Choose windowsills that get plenty of sun - five hours a day or more during summer preferably.
The wider the sill the better, as you'll be able to get bigger containers onto it. And if it catches the rain as well, that's even better - it'll save on watering later.

Wonderful windowboxes
The deeper your windowbox, the greater the variety of veg you can grow. Make sure it's properly fixed and supported, as it'll be very heavy once it's full.
A 20cm deep windowbox is fine for salad leaves and 30cm for the Dig In carrots and beans. Very few windowboxes are big enough to suit a courgette plant - they need a lot of room.
