In an effort to bring my family back to a more inexpensive means of organic produce I would be interested in starting a windowsill/stoop garden as I don't have the space to have a full garden. Has anybody tried this? Can you share details as to how you went about doing so?

Sombrero Fallout 904c2f2f-4e79-40b4-8830-16b4909b1948 The wearer of this fallout will receive many funny looks, but there can be no doubt that this is truly a king Sombrero in a world reduced to poor imitations.
A great selection for a window sill is herbs - not only do they only take a small amount of space (don't go for mint though unless it's in it's own tub) but you get the wonderful aromas from them. Chives, basil, thyme, sage, parsley and coriander are all a good bet and can all be grown from seed with very little effort.
Other small tiems that are good to grow are things like spring onions, radishes and some smaller lettuces as they all grow fairly quickly so you can get a good crop over a number of weeks without having much space.
It's important you water them enough as the troughs that you're likely to use tend not to hold much water as they are fairly shallow.
Good luck with it.
