What other food plants can I grow relatively easily in my windowsill? Ideally sans dirt
Those onion shits always grow hollow unless you stick 'em in dirt
sweet potato greens
im currently growing 16 piri piri chilis plants in northern sweden, they give plenty chilis every year. pretty sweet. Using only 2 windowsill, 4 pots.

Interesting. We start our tomatos and hot peppers in the windowsill from seed about 6 weeks before transplanting outside and by that point they are looking "leggy" which means the stem is too weak to support fruit unless it's been put in a planting bed. Just curious, because I have enough ground to set them out, but how do you get them to have stalks healthy enough to hold fruit up?

i dont know what theyre called but i use a stick and tie the plant to it?

Yeah we add supports for the tomato plants, peppers don't usually need it once we get them in good soil outside. You must keep transplanting to larger pots and adding nutrients, no?

nutrients once a year, medium sized pots so they fit on the windowsill. as long as you dont go more than a week without water they should live long and prosper.

"staking" a tomato/pepper plant is the what you're describing

Tomato cages are the only answer. Tomatoes are paisly fuckers and a 4mph wind can destroy your crop, so it's best to grow them indoors in a pot with a cage stuck in it and move them as needed.
Especially because of fucking tater bugs, which are really bad this year. They chew through the base of the stalk, and a single one will destroy a plant in 4 hours.
If you actually want food to eat, keep your maters inside. I have everything in pots this year, and the few things I stuck outside got eaten immediately, even the fucking mirabilis. Tater bugs have no fucking limits.
Slugs too, they're at moderate strength this year.

The dirt is where the flavour comes from.
Plants grown from water cups taste like bland monstrosities.
Lemongrass will grow in a jar of water just like scallions do.
