Growing a bottle tree

The progress of a bottle tree.
Here it has just come up with a few blooms on it.

As time has gone on there are new shoots and new blooms.

Thanks to everyone for their help with the bottles. I am still collecting wine bottles because I have alot of plans for them.

Side note: This is the fence put up with wood post. As you can see the post have been painted and topped with solar powered led lights. You can also see that the mexican petunas have really taken off. The day was overcast when I took the picture so the flowers were not open.

Bling in the fish tank

I had one of these fancy old thermometer's in a glass tube. where the temperature floats on a little glass bulb. Well I knocked it off the back of my desk and it broke. The little floating things did not break.

So what to do with it? Out came the beads and here we are with tank bling. The fish really seem to like it. they play with the beads. The current moves them around and they seem to enjoy them.

What all will I do for spinach

I had some pieces of fiberglass panels that I removed from the greenhouse when I added the sliding glass doors. They have been standing behind the G/H for at least 7 years.

So... I cut the panels into 12inch high pieces.

Then I started to dig. LOL I love to dig.

At the bottom I stomped down the dirt and then added Newspaper. Lots of Newspaper.

Filled the hole with a mixture of potting mix, compost and native soil. Soaked my Malabar Spinach and planted it. Pictures of my babies will be along soon.

Tree bling

Plastic beads and old clip earring's along with some beads with letters on them make a colorful, whimsical add to the landscape along with little messages and inspirational thoughts.




I love the little reminders, "Love all", "Count your blessings"," Love often" "laugh and dance"
