The harvest's in. Cherry Belle radishes. Tiny Tim cherry tomatoes. From the windowsill. From plastic ice cream buckets recycled for this purpose of windowsill farming, and supermarket potting soil. South-facing window.
Vancouver’s summer 2010 essentially over mid-August: am guessing these all would’ve cooked in the south-facing window, if not for the cooler weather.
Naturally, immediately had to sample a little of this bounty. A taste. Each. The radish: satisfyingly crunchy, then the peppery note which kept building. The tomato: tangy, then slurpingly sweet; even though just a wee tomato I held between thumb and forefinger.
All of this windowsill harvest an experiment I’ve long wanted to do.

the extent of my windowsill farming consists of... a "tropical" plant and a spot of mildew. heck yes!
Interesting colours...mildew.
Hardy species, too.
Mildew practically grows itself :)
Am tempted to farm penicillin, next.
Set out bread slices, and so on...
