I love growing herbs but my kitchen has no window sill which means that wherever I put a plant it’s inevitably in the way and has to be moved, or worse keeps getting knocked over. These so-called sky planters are a brilliant idea that goes solves the problem of a shortage of space either indoors or out.
Designed by Patrick Morris, not only will your plants grown upside down but you also only need to water them once a month, which is another plus point. Hang a few of them over your workspace and you can just reach up and help yourself as the need arises. Fresh herbs at your fingertips. Literally.

This time last year the kitchen essential was the best mechanical timer
So clever, and a bit of a mind-bender as well – how do they stay in the pot?? I have no windowsill either so I like these a lot!
