To window-box or not? Since we have so little sun in the main 'garden', but plenty against the back wall of our house and small patio area, it's a pity to waste the window ledges (3).
The Hub claims the water seeps out the bottom and rots the window-frames so we'll have to fork out to have them repainted too often.
So compromise: I've bought pots that have an inner well so that the water does not leak out.
I also argue that I will forgoe hanging baskets as Hub agrees with Sir Roy Strong (former Director of the V and A) that they are naff. Makes the Hub feel like he's in a pub garden.
My vulgarity is confined to the window-boxes instead: nothing like a nice bit of loud colours, and stripey petals.
