Beginner Gardening: "Turn 600 acres of window ledges into veggie patches", 0 by gmun

I think the small photo on the top right is the "window boxes" which look like containers on a window ledge/sill, the photo lower down looks like it might be a ground floor flat and there are containers on the windowsill but then there's a garden below - it's kind of hard to tell. I think the article's definitely referring to proper window boxes as you describe them though.

My flat's in an old Victorian building so I have 3 large windows facing south, one of them's a bay window with 3 window ledges so I think it would be do-able. My concern is actually thinking about how I'd make sure the containers would be safely secured, it's pretty impossible to do it from the outside and the stone is sandstone so drilling into it is not easy and it's pretty crumbly... I'm wondering about attaching a bar to the outside window frame (wood) and attaching containers to it somehow that way.

I grew tumbler cherry tomatoes in pretty small pots this summer and they worked out pretty well but the micro tom sounds ideal - will definitely add that to my list! Thanks!

This is an image of my street (found on google, my flat's not in this photo) - I really just love the image in my mind of all these flats with veggies growing on their windowsills!
