What should I plant?
11:33 am in Getting Started, Plants, questions, Seeking Advice by kaytihaugh
Just getting inspired… I live in Brooklyn and am about to start a window farm. What are people’s favorite things to grow? What grows best? I am very new at this and need some ideas! Herbs… lettuce… can I do cucumbers? Just curious what people have had success with and also what tends to fail. Thanks!
all kinds of basil thrive in WFs, as well as chives, thyme, mint, parsely… cilantro is a little trickier (it’s always tricky to grow cilantro in my experience) and rosemary is pretty much the only herb that really does not like these systems. Most kinds of lettuce do great, bok choi does great, chard… snap peas and beans, cherry tomatoes — the list goes on, but hopefully this is enough to start with! Good luck!! If you have any more questions/thoughts/concerns, keep on making posts!
