Summary
I've come to a bit of a standstill this week: I don't know if it's the heatwave the UK has been going through, the pressure of making a weekly podcast or England's exit from the World Cup, but it's left me feeling rather weary.
So I thought I'd dedicate this episode to some really quick and easy projects for indoor growers that take two to five minutes to complete, and (mostly) use items that you may well have in your storecupboard, or can be bought from your local market. It's nice to plan out and complete complex, high-maintenance indoor gardening, as per James Wong's brilliant projects in the last two episodes, but sometimes it's great to do something that's what I call a 'quick win'.

| 0:00.0 | Hello, this week's on the Ledge podcast is all about quick wins. |
| 0:22.0 | And no, I'm not talking about the World Cup. |
| 0:30.9 | I don't know if it's just me, but I've been feeling a bit under the weather this week, a bit weary, and altogether not my normal self. |
| 0:39.3 | So I decided that this week we needed something that was going to give us quick results |
| 0:44.4 | and take no longer than five minutes to put together. |
| 0:47.7 | So this week we're having a look at some edible windowsill on the ledge, if you will, projects, |
| 0:53.3 | that even someone as weary as I can take part in. |
| 0:59.0 | And the good news is that almost everything you'll need for these little projects can be found either in your house plant |
| 1:06.5 | maintenance kit, which I'm sure you have to hand, or in your kitchen cupboards. See, I'm making |
| 1:12.5 | life super easy for you this week. Thanks to everyone who turned up for house plant hour on Tuesday |
| 1:18.5 | this week. It's an hour-long Twitter chat between 9 and 10 British summertime every other |
| 1:25.0 | Tuesday. The next one will be happening on July the 24th at 9pm British |
| 1:31.2 | summertime. Do join me then. You can follow along with the hashtag houseplant hour or look back at |
| 1:37.2 | the chat that we had this week. It's a great way of connecting up with other house plant people on |
| 1:41.9 | Twitter. So I do encourage you to join me. |
| 1:45.1 | I use a Twitter account houseplant hour, but everything on the thread should also have that |
| 1:50.1 | hashtag house plant hour there. So do come and say hi. I'd love to hear from you. Otherwise, |
| 1:56.1 | it'll just be me banging on about my Guzneriads again, so please come and save us all from that. |
| 2:05.0 | So let's start with this. You go to the supermarket and you buy a pot of supermarket |
| 2:10.9 | herbs planted up in a little container. It might be basil, it might be parsley or |
| 2:16.7 | coriander, chives or mint, And you bring it home and you |
| 2:19.9 | might use a couple of sprigs in a dish. And seemingly you turn around the next day and the herbs |
