Office Gardening

I live in a flat and unfortunately any attempt to grow anything in it seems to be a disaster – mainly due to whitefly or green fly or just plain dying on me.  The windowsill is south facing and gets really quite tropical in there.  I might try growing bananas or pineapples.  I’m sure I’ll have more success.

The office is a different beast entirely.  It’s airconditioned (badly) and has an interesting range of temperatures depending on the time of year.  Often in summer the airconditioning goes onto heat mode or snow mode (there is no inbetween apparently, like ‘off’) and we face a brick wall meaning we get only a couple of hours of sunshine a day.

Two of us however have started growing chillis on the windowsill.  So far my bounty of harvest has blessed me with err… three chillis.   Geoff has many, many more, but he has been pumping his up with a particularly non-organic fertiliser and is three times the size of mine.

Office gardening is obviously where it’s at however and I’m considering getting another chilli in on the act.
