webesemps said:Jackie, what is on the bottom of the window box? The water is draining out of the soil to somewhere, right? If no holes, then did you layer rock on bottom and then soil and then plants?


Bev- I put a nice big layer of rock on the bottom layer first. The window box does not have any holes but thought if i put enough of the rock down it would be ok?? My window sill is staying quite chilled right now as well which might have something to do with it? After a week i would think the soil would start getting pretty dry again. I mixed in sand with the dirt as well then tried to mound up the dirt on top where the plants would be sitting. Should i take them out and start over or just add to a different pot maybe? I just thought the window sill would be great to get them used to being a little chilled here and then start taking them outside when sunny.
