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 don't know if they're fire escape windows, but they'll at least need drainage. I wouldn't put anything there. The roots will grow at the foundation. Maybe a few little plants in pots at most, if you can reach it from inside.
