Hi! I'm new to gardening (help lots with friends gardens but never had one myself) and was wondering what I could do with this below ground space outside my window :0

Edit: as many of you have pointed out this place is a bad area to grow things and should stay as a cleared out firescape. Ill trust the wisdom of the crowed and not temp fate, thanks everyone for being polite with my misunderstanding of the area!

I want you to start with the idea that I'm an idiot, but don't those exist to be a fire escape from the basement? Wouldn't filling it in negate that, or at least make it more difficult? Again, idiot that lives in the state with the water line two inches below the ground (Florida), which prevents us from making basements.

If that's not true, maybe you'll get someone that comes here to tell me how wrong I am, and gives you great ideas to do with the 'not fire escape'.

"I want you to start with the idea that I'm an idiot, but..." is my new favourite disclaimer.
