		<title>Full Circle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s apt that this post comes without a picture as it&#8217;s the lack of photography that&#8217;s slowed the blog posts down to barely a drip.
As each window box developed it&#8217;s own eco-system it got harder to keep track of what was happening and although there were plenty of changes it was too easy to think [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=785&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Work</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bless the summer for its long days, warm temperatures and reliable ability to never live up to expectations. Childhood summers were much hotter, longer and drier, weren&#8217;t they? (I&#8217;m actually sure they weren&#8217;t but the collective consciousness suggests otherwise &#8211; or at least the mass media do).
In window-box gardening this means that with a minimal [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=782&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Logistics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been putting off writing the next post because it&#8217;s undeniable that summer is on the way out and that means that all the planning, nurturing and growing will, in time, follow it out too.
It had started to become more obvious about two weeks ago when previously lush foliage started to look a little limp [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=777&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A View with a Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally remembered to take the camera out with me to get a few pictures of the window boxes from street level. As you can see (hopefully) they&#8217;re too overflowing to turn around from inside any more so they&#8217;ll stay like this until the frosts come back and it&#8217;s time for the winter clothes to return. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=765&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Sing a Rainbow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was looking at all the colours in my windowboxes as I did my near daily inspection, and this little kids song popped into my head. Isn&#8217;t it odd that thoughts that have remained dormant for so long can suddenly be brought to life. The mind is truly a weird, wonderful and unbelievably complicated thing.
Red

		<title>Care and Maintenance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Thank you Mother Nature &#8211; doing all the hard work while I get to sit back with my feet up and enjoy the mini-forest growing outside my window. A little bit of dead-heading here, a lot of watering there and hey presto! everything keeps on chugging away &#8211; day AND night it seems (I&#8217;m sure [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=747&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Try, try again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It hasn&#8217;t all been a success story although the way the window boxes look at the moment I have no idea where I would have put anything else. It wasn&#8217;t the intention to grow everything from seed but unfortunately some seeds just didn&#8217;t work as well as others so they needed a bit of a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=737&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Summertime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Love this picture of a Livingstone Daisy (Mesembryanthemum) in full bloom. This only happens when it&#8217;s really sunny and mine in particular seem to want there to be long unbroken periods of sun before they&#8217;re willing to risk it. Even on a good day that&#8217;s a big ask.
This will maybe prove to be a bit [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=731&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Colour Purple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s well and truly summertime now and mother nature has been kind to us here in Scotland. A bit of rain, some thunderstorms and a couple of windy-ish days but generally lots of sun, warm temperatures and a few really gloriously long hot days. My gut feeling is that it&#8217;s much better than last year [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=723&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Keeping Track</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I planted all the window boxes this year I neatly wrote little tabs for each type and slipped them carefully into the side of the box.
Then as I added some more plants I wrote out some more tabs. Then I forgot to write some tabs. Then I took out some nasturtiums that had died [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=northernwindowgardener.wordpress.com&blog=5230107&post=719&subd=northernwindowgardener&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
