@George_M Hi George welcome. You know what! just plant whatever and enjoy! if it doesn't do! Try something else, don't worry you'll find something along the way that suits your location and climate. You could do lots of windowsill herbs, thyme, corriander, parsley, basil etc. For decorative plants you could try a succulent type, maybe a Jade (Crassula Ovata) they are pretty easy looked after indoors.
