  Window boxes can be the ultimate decorative touch for your house, instantly providing spots of brilliant color, year-round focal points of interest, and a lively personal touch. Take the hard work out of gardening with these 50 ready-made successful planting projects for every type of season and mood: look out on a cold gray day and be greeted with a cluster of golden daffodils; open a window on a warm spring morning and the smell of new blooms wafts in with the breeze; enjoy glorious autumn accents; always have near you bright evergreens in winter. The projects are so varied: try mixed plantings, one-color themes, and herbs, as well as ornamental fruits and vegetables. Each recipe tells you exactly what plants to use, how many are needed to create that effect, how to plant and maintain them, and how to make small modifications to create your own personal style.
