Purchased: 2 x towering basil stalks, 1 x chilli plant (unknown variety), 1 x cherry tomato plant, 3 x french marigold plants (chance of yellow to red). Marigolds are in the flowerbox out the bedroom window (no, I didn't plant them out already, they're just... sitting there) herbs and fruits are on the kitchen windowsill, joining the parsley and thyme, and christmas tree jasmine, who just love it there. I will update with photos after the 20th! oh, yeah.

In your planning policy for this event, maybe you should consider allocating a window each. You’ll have competition for the window space I think -
