Late-summer window garden
In keeping with this week’s herbaceous theme, this post is all about the window garden, and how to get yours started with minimal effort and expense… even at this late mid-summer date.
Seeds for the window garden
Many window gardens are big floral affairs, but in the spirit of saving moola, I decided to forgo lush flowers (several pounds apiece) and instead plant some easy-to-grow seeds. With any luck, these seeds will shortly grow into lush salad ingredients for my dining pleasure.

Where can you find an off-the-peg designer wedding dress for under £500 [Part 3]
Many thanks to reader Fiona who suggested that we check out Etsy for affordable wedding frocks. In fact, we liked her genius idea so much that we decided to investigate further, and found that handmade weddings are indeed big business on Etsy. Here’s my top six Etsy wedding dresses under £500…
Above, from left: ‘Helen’ silk charmeuse and silk chiffon wedding gown,US$600 by Love June; and ‘A peaceful afternoon dress’ in ivory silk and antique lace, US$515, by Sarah Seven.
Above, from left: ‘Calla Lilly’ empire-cut sheath in heavy double crepe with a matt satin bodice, US$500, by London Demimonde; and Organza lace, silk satin wedding dress, custom-made to order (with matching veil), US$975 by Bellina Bridal.
