Securely attach window boxes outside and set up a waterproof ledge inside to take advantage of all the sunlight you can. Lots of greens and herbs do not need direct sunlight so they could be placed on tall shelves (like bookcases) around your windows.

Hanging baskets with tomato plants can reach down from your ceiling (like upside-down gardening). I would suggest raising a smaller variety of tomatoes so that they do not break the plant or fall off easily.

Try a few seeds of several vegetables which are easy to grow (like radishes or lettuce) in long planters. Be sure to have stones in the bottom of the rich potting soil-peat moss combo for good drainage. Add a little water each day, especially if the plants are near a heat source or the sun is hot. Just don't overwater.

Enjoy!
