I drew it because I wanted to document my garden “border.” It’s something I had seen on Pinterest where the pinner used wine bottles to form a garden edge. I used beer bottles on a small garden to see if it would work. I used a bulb planter to dig the holes.
I like how it came out. The problem I run into here in Arkansas is that about 2 inches down, you reach rock. Solid boulders! So…this is the only garden I got done before abandoning that idea. Short of using dynamite, there’s no way to get past the rocks!

ReplyDeleteNow that's a unique fence idea!
ReplyDeleteThat beerbottle fence is supercool. You know I might just try something like that. The painting also came out very nice. Happy PPF
ReplyDeletevery unique for sure-beautiful illustration!
ReplyDeleteLove your illustrations. Didn't know that about Arkansas. Sounded like one of those planting beds would work better. But dynamite might be an interesting approach.
ReplyDeleteVery cute! ♥♥♥
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pen and wash painting Sue, The bottle boarder sounds like a great idea :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome illustration. Not being a gardener - i think this idea is really cool and beer bottles would be more up my alley.
