No, we didn’t drink all of them.  Did a couple of dumpster dives at the recycling center (thanks, honey!) and got a little help from Freecyclers in the seemingly endless quest for empty wine bottles.

Finally done.  And am now absurdly considering making new flower beds around the front porch using wine bottles.  Please talk me down.

Let’s take a little garden walk, shall we?  Oh, one other thing…the mulch…free.  Called a local tree company and they delivered a load gratis.  Saved so much $ and thrilled to not have 100 or so empty plastic bags.

Ok, let’s go!

Complete!

Wine Bottle edging.

Watching the crops grow. Almost as fun as watching paint dry…

A wee little Tickseed plant I picked up at Home Depot

Tickseed & wine bottles

Irises that we got from a Freecycler when we moved into our house in 2008.

Super tall Irises

I adore Irises

So regal.

I also adore Rhubarb and Chives. Maybe not together-together, but together in a garden is a beautiful sight.

You can do it, little berries! Grow!

Asiatic Lily, another Home Depot buy

Isn’t the color intense? Hmmm…what can I do with color ideas from flowers?
