So we'll be moving to yet another basement apartment in a couple of weeks, and I need some opinions and advice.

We will only have 2 windows, both facing south, at eye level, but the sun is blocked by a row of townhouses.

What would you recommend on the kitchen windowsill for plants? The window is above the stove.

There is also a back yard that we can plant in. I know I'm a landscaper and should know this, but I wonder what to plant.

The large oak tree(not sure what it is honestly) provides too much shade for plants to grow, and the plum tree isn't doing too well there.

There are peonies and rose bushes, and a few hostas, but I'm wondering what else to plant.

Keep in mind though, that there will be a rabbit digging around the garden, so something needs to be hearty that's planted.

There will also be a cat in the yard, and he'll be happy to explore.


Any advice is appreciated.
