Ok, so winter is coming, and I just moved into my rental house this year. I do plan on making hugel beds soon, as my landlord is cool with that, but I thought that for winter I totally
should take advantage of the ginormous windows. My space looks very much like this:
I have a sofa pretty much like the one in the photo. The left window is South facing, the right is West. Last winter it was getting nice and warm in the living room, actually, it was getting really hot! I live in Oregon, in the middle of the wet side and the dry side. This means that although winters do tend to be cloudy & misty, they can actually have a fair amount of sun as well. My plan was to create a tall, narrow table to put next to the South window, behind the couch. The table could have a waterproof cutout at the top, so I could treat it like a
raised bed, OR I would just use pots for each plant. I'd like to try growing basil and other herbs, it really does get a lot of sun. Thoughts?
