Where Did the Window Boxes Go?
Rediscovering the Charm of Window Boxes
I have a deep appreciation for window boxes and miss their presence in modern neighborhoods. They bring character and warmth, something I feel is lacking in many contemporary homes.
Take, for instance, my neighbors’ house across the street. They recently painted their modest, older home a subtle gray with white trim. While it looks neat, it feels a bit bland. I can’t help but imagine how vibrant it would look with a red front door and matching red window boxes under the large windows flanking the entrance. Now that would make a statement!
The Appeal of Window Boxes
Window boxes have the power to transform a nondescript house into a charming country cottage in an instant. They're particularly handy for those with limited yard space, offering a perfect spot for low-growing and trailing flowers, vines, or even herbs. While ready-made window boxes might be hard to find at local stores, they're still accessible online.
Crafting Your Own Window Boxes
For those inclined to DIY, consider using cedar or redwood for durability. If liners are unavailable, protect the wood by adding tarpaper before the planting mix. Mount the boxes securely using the right brackets, something your local hardware store can assist with.
Be sure to drill drainage holes and water daily during the summer. Every few weeks, enrich the soil with fertilizer to enjoy flourishing blooms both inside and out.
Planting Ideas
For sunny spots, try vibrant flowers like geraniums, marigolds, and alyssum. In shadier areas, fuchsias and non-stop begonias thrive beautifully. If you prefer herbs, chives, rosemary, parsley, and thyme are excellent choices. However, if you plant mint, remember it can overtake other herbs, so give it space to spread freely.
Window boxes offer a delightful way to revive a home’s curb appeal with minimal effort. Embrace the charm and functionality they bring to any setting.
