Although it's way too soon for me to be thinking about sowing much in the way of seeds I have a few things growing away on my kitchen windowsill. I have three baby avocado seedlings that I have grown from the stones. I'm amazed that they didn't lose all their leaves as the kitchen is blimmin perishing. We don't have any heating in there. There are two taller ones and a short one. Different stones from different types of avocado though I doubt that they will ever bear any fruit.

On the bedroom windowsill I have melon, pepper and chilli seeds sprouting. They are quite pampered sitting above the radiator all day and moved to my dressing table through the night. The melons are pushing out healthy looking seedlings and the chilli and peppers are showing signs that they might be sprouting. They will all be potted on and kept indoors for quite some time as the weather will need to be nice and warm before they can be hardened off and planted outdoors.
Hello Cherie, great idea for the celery! Your avocado plants look really healthy. I have an avocado plant that I started from seed four years ago. For the past two years, I have left it out in a tiny pot on the patio over winter and it has survived. This autumn, I put it in a much larger pot, so I hope it perks up and puts on a lot of spring growth this year. Avocados have been known to fruit in London. What type of melons are you growing?
