I do not have a backyard or sunny windowsill. I am on the third floor. However, I do have a very small patio that I may consider using in the spring to grow food. It's not wide enough to put a chair on it but it may be good enough to hold plants. I will consider this once the spring rolls around. I will also look into moving to a location at least a half hour outside of the city that I live in, preferably with a decent backyard for growing food.
