Window boxes

20 years ago

I want to put a window box under my kitchen window. The ones I found are different size then my window, which is 66 inches. So, my question is should I purchase the longest box available, or get two and camouflage the place where they meet. In either case, boxes would be either longer or shorter then my window. Which way would it look better?

And another question: there is a brick wall. How do I attach it?

Thanks!

You might want to ask at your hardware store about suitable brackets for the weight of a full, wet, and plant-filled container - plus masonry screws or fasteners. Being ultra-prudent - for that five and a half foot length I'd go for at least four brackets.

Which of your choices gives good depth for the plants you have in mind? Will they be trailing - or upright? (That matters if you have to push open the windows to feed, weed, and water... If you have sash windows, the problem doesn't arise.) Are they seasonal or perennial plantings? You might want to do complementary plantings and be glad to have two separate containers rather than a single length, for example.

Those are all good points vetivert8. I will keep them in mind while shopping.
Thanks!
