Then when the time is right, you will prune off these damaged buds, leaving the better buds to grow and produce flowers. So don't prune your roses now, except to remove stems that are in the way. I would like to have fresh tomatoes and other vegetables through the winter. Tomatoes, at least the varieties you grow in the summer garden, are difficult to grow in typical home windows. If you have south, east, or west facing patio windows or other large windows facing these directions, then your chances are greatly improved.
Light is the limiting factor in growing traditional indoor vegetables in the window.
Even if there is direct sunlight for an hour or two, that is not enough light. These plants need four or more hours of bright light. Direct light through windows may actually be too intense in New Mexico. I have found that sheer curtains or lace curtains diffuse the light enough to prevent sunburn to the plants and by diffusing the light provides more hours of bright light to the plants. The plants adapt to this slightly lower light level and grow better than in fewer hours of brighter light followed by hours of lower light levels.
