We're not gardeners, but

we can stick things in pots and put them on the paving by the door.

also the OH grows odd stuff like lemons and coffee beans, which you can just see through the window. One day I hope he'll have a greenhouse for stuff like that and they can be cleared out of my the sunroom. Until then I enjoy using the lemons in cakes, and looking at the pretty flowers on the path. Although the view is rather spoiled by the cat dish.
