    Hi. Any suggestions for a westfacing windowbox? I'd like some herbs but thinking of the late sun.

    I assume you want to eat/harvest from the boxes from time to time. I have the following container on the same West aspect: Chives (good for height, texture and flowers), Salad Cress, Mint does well too and a trailing nasturtium.

    Herbs with essential oils tend to be the ones that must have full sun: lavender, rosemary, sage, oregano. Without full sun these guys just kind of dither about.
