Plant a windowsill garden

With containers of herbs on your windowsill, you can enjoy gardening even on the wintriest days.  A pot of green onions and companion pots of garlic and chives will yield tasty stalks for snipping into salads and onto baked potatoes.  You will need a dozen onion sets, one or two heads of garlic, a packet of chive seeds, a couple of 8-inch pots with drainage holes, and some potting soil.

Plant and place your pots on a sunny sill.  Begin snipping when the plants are three to four inches tall.

Note:  Supermarket onions and garlic may have been treated to retard sprouting, so try your local nursery or garden center for the items you would like to grow.
