Replanting the kitchen window box with succulents

July 27, 2011 by Erin Heaton

Good news, everyone! I planted some succulents! (Big wow, I know.) 
We have this pass-through from our kitchen to our family room. Once upon a time, it was an external window and I’m so glad whoever put the family room addition onto our house didn’t close it in. Although it’s more or less functionless as an actual pass-through, I love the open feel it gives between the two rooms.

But there’s this strange little window box at the base. When we moved in, the previous homeowners had left a bunch of junk like receipts and business cards stuffed in there, and I knew that I had to do something to keep myself from doing the same. Plants were a perfect solution. No temptation to pile anything on top of plants! 
The ones I had in here previously died a while ago. I am embarrassed to admit how long the pots have been vacant, especially when it only took a few minutes to put in new ones.
