Here's another idea my friend sent me: Window Farms.

From their website:

WindowfarmsTM are vertical, hydroponic, modular, low-energy, high-yield edible window gardens built using low-impact or recycled local materials.

You can grow up to 25 fresh live vegetable plants—lettuce, herbs, snap peas, cherry tomatoes, peppers, kale, small squash, edible flowers, and many more—in a normal 4'x 6' window in your home. That could be a salad a week.

Share your space year-round with a vitamin rich living harvest and a lush trickling fountain-like curtain. Free designs to build your own windowfarm are available through the brilliance & generosity of an open design community that you can join. Make your own contribution to the green revolution!

Cool link, Katherine. I think I might attempt a Home-Made VersionTM of this one this season.
