Bottle Border

I saw an example of this on Pinterest the other day and decided I might be able to use some wine bottles in our yard.  So our clean up has officially begun.  I participate in a photo challenge the first of every month and I have chosen the 'Park' garden.  Each month I try to stand in the same spot and snap a shot of how it is changing.  So far I have been really embarrassed at how it is looks.  So Saturday I started the big clean up!  I have a few things that Mark is going to have to help me with.  So I enlisted Luke (my helpful neighbor) to help me get the bottles in.  We soaked off tables and then decided where to put the clear bottles.  He cracks me up.  It doesn't look to hard to do but it is time consuming.  It took us all day with a few pauses in construction.

We weeded this bed and added a little tee pee for maybe peas.  So now all I have to do is des-lable about three boxes of empty wine bottles that have taken up residence in the garage.

I can imagine that you night think us to be wino's.  Not even close.  I have found a friend on FreeCycle that work at a Senior Living Facility and she saves all the empty bottles for me.  About once a month or so I get an email saying there are a few boxes on her porch for me to pick up.  I hope she continues to provide me with this service because I have a few other ideas up my sleeve.
