Very nice photoes. Wish I have more free places on my window-sills, but usually they are full of home plants
![]() But I think I will able to use my balcony (looking to the East) for such experiments. I've got some home plants (geraniums) there which is very unusual for our weather in December. Mother Nature has been joking with our Zone 4a during the second part of November and the first part of December! +3+8 C is very anomalous for Minsk now. It used to be -5 -20 C here in December.

These are great ideas that will be wonderful for workshops for our "Hands on Healing" program under the American Cancer Society. The program provides workshops for cancer patients to explore and discover their creative resources to promote physical, mental and spiritual healing.

Dcarch - I actually made one of those last week. Well, all except the finishing part. Still haven't painted it yet, but I will.. as soon as I figure out what I want to finish it WITH.
If I could ask - what do you use to cut the bottles with that you get such a uniform and clean scalloped edge? The straight edge I can do fine, but when I tried to do the curvy one, it turned out like junk.

Wow, what a wonderful integration of art, recycling and growing tomatoes. Very impressive.

Varies.
I work around my plants, and the light for the plants also lights up my work area. I work long hours. 12 to 18 hours? dcarch

Thanks, I'm giving this a try this fall. I've sprouted Lime Green Salad and Tiny Tiger, just transplanted to 16oz cups. I certainly do not possess your creativity so I'll be planting in simple 6" pots.
