The house is a disaster area and there are piles of outfitting clothes to wash. I brought the gold ball for the top of the topmast home to paint here so it would be ready for rigging on Monday. Other than that...Brian mowed the lawn and I dealt with plants...lots of them. I've been thinking about growing some upside-down plants for a while and found a do-it-yourself version online. All you need is a 2-liter bottle, an eye hook, and some duct tape. Really - duct tape! Who can resist a project that uses duct tape?!
Especially green and pink duct tape...
...and tie-dye duct tape...
...and even bright orange duct tape!We also planted a raspberry, a rose, and mulched our four decorative trees and all of the shrubs.
Peas, please!
And corn.
The upside-down plants are two different kinds of tomato and one pepper. They've only been in their upside-down homes for a couple days and they have already turned their leaves over! It has been cool to watch them slowly turn and adjust to being upside-down!

Your garden is looking good. My girlfriend and I are starting our own garden at my house this year. If everything grows, we'll have more veggies that we can shake a stick at! Love the soda bottle planters, great recycling idea! We went with mobile mobile tomato plants in five gallon buckets. So after they absorb the original bucket contents, we'll have tomatos that taste like antifreeze, transmission fluid and corn syrup. :)
Fantastic way to recycle the bottles. Thinking of trying something similar myself this weekend. Hadn't thought of the multi-color duct tape tho.
