My kitchen has two windows in a corner. One, the above facing south, the second facing west. I stopped using curtains in the kitchen a couple of years ago. I use plants instead. The windows have semi-transparent blinds (from Ikea) to regulate the light and sunshine. Some plants lCAN get too much sun. The windows also have regular blinds that I sometimes in the summer have all the way down.

This time of the year, when there are no fresh herbs outside yet, I also added a pot of thyme on to the kitchen table. In easy reach when you need for cooking.

I recently did some reorganizing in the kitchen windows as I bought two trellises from Ikea to have somewhere to store some of my pelargonia cuttings until they get roots, and to put some new smallish plants I also found at Ikea.

One of them bloomed on the second day after it came to my home. The plant has lilac leaves.

I love my sunny and light kitchen and the way you can have flowers in the window there. It is relaxing watching them when eating breakfast.
The aloe in the corner isa problem. It has become very heavy and big. Hard to keep it upright. It also has a small aloe-baby in the pit that I’ve planned to move to a pot of its own at some time. Just haven’t got around to it yet. Now would probably be a good time for doing it.

And all the orchids on the windowsills are in bloom presently.
