But I want to go a cheaper route. Kinda a shortcut greenhouse! At least a plant in the window will not freeze? Anyone have an idea how to extend a window sill to place plants? My idea is a plank and two C-clamps!

All windows are not alike. Maybe the following idea may be what I am stuck with.

As a second note, you can get small disposable plastic cups full of dirt and seeds. It might give you some time until the frosty morns subside.

I put them shelf rails/brackets with the slots up the side of the window trim then I have shelf like that on seal and another in middle of window for plants. I can easily put blinds up and down behind shelves.

Not exactly sure what you mean, but ya gave me some constructive ideas, like using the center of the window!.
I saw this idea, thats another thing I have not thought of! And can I say something else? Placing racks in front of the window. The plant would not be extremely close to the window, but may be a consideration!
