In answer to my bottle garden-I started out a few years ago with just the blue-but friends and family have given me some of their very old bottles or one from a celebration or other and I have one in there of my absolute favorite color........

These aren't all of my bottles-but quite a few-it is something I'm told is done quite a bit in the south! I love mine! The birdbath is very old-from my grandmothers home from when I was a child-I remember sitting at her kitchen table and watching the birds take a bath-she loved that! 
A picture I took last summer in Belfast-I thought these homemade trellis would be great for morning glories or scarlet runners-my and hummingbirds favorite beans! I'm going to start making a couple early this year!
Can you see my birthday present from my maintenance man last year-I've wanted one for a long time and he has a friend up north whose town is taking them out~~~and~~~was I surprised!! I love it!!

That is a clever way to provide water for the birds! Just seeing your summer pictures makes me get excited for some warmer weather to hit. Belfast always has such creative ideas, I just love to visit there. I think I need to make a twig trellis too! ~Lili
Ooooh! I LOVE the bottle garden! I just may need to put some up. My place could definitely use a bit of color. What a cool idea!
Your blue garden is so fun!
