I didn't really do anything except use old pavers from a walk way to make garden paths.
I think the cups would probably look better if they were all in some sort of pattern however each to his own taste. I like red very much so love the color. But it's very eclectic and I've never seen anyone use cups quite like that before. I think I might toss some out and see what they form..............

We have south carolina fire ants and part of the joy of gardening is the war that is involved. I am covered with scars from fire ants all up and down the southeast coast but I have stayed garden strong. Never have I showed such lack of mercy for a living thing. Well, Palmetto Bugs a well but the Fire Ants are a mighty adversary. Do the EUropean ones speak English?
Um, did you have a huge party and forget to pick up the cups -my eye went right to the cups dumped all over the lawn...
lol - it looked like the yard of the house my sons were renting at college....at least when I was at school, I would have picked up the evidence before my parents came for graduation.
Birds keep eating the worms and stuff from underneath the pile so I have it blocked now.
Your neighbors called and are using this site , labeling the photos as ;
Exhibit A
Exhibit B
LoL - my neighbors are likely doing it to me as well. We must have used the same landscaper.
I wish I had the picture of the 20 Black and White Umbrellas from Home Depot that I put all over the front yard with PVC pipes holding them in place - the sun was burning my delicate flowers, despite them being full sun thrivers. Tell that to the plants in the South Carolina sun.

If you saw Cam's garden you would not believe what was grown in those cups. Simply amazing. Search for posts by Cambium and you will be amazed.
I used the corner decorative v shaped side supports from an old gazebo and use them as a trellis for the climbing roses. Because they're in a V shape they stand up on their own which is nice.
We use to have a garden near our creek. We had a on large mailbox nailed to a tree we kept hand tools in. We took an old window awning from the 60s and attached it to boards between 2 trees, and hung our hoes and such under it.
These sound great! Even without photos, I can visualize ~ like expressive &/or conceptual Art where the inside & outside are somehow brought together. I always think of windows like 'picture frames' to the world outside.
Also really enjoying all the photos! Thanks & respect, much appreciated.
I enjoy trying to repurpose items for my garden, without it looking too junky.
I repurposed this old coat/hat rack. It was an old tarnished brass coloring (not real brass). I removed 2 of the arms, extended the little screw bar so the arms stuck out a little more on the 2 remaining bars, put red plastic beads on the bars and spray painted it red. It's great for hanging 2 of my hummingbird feeders on it
If you look behind it, it's an old wash basin which I made in to a planter.
used my old bike as planter with basket on front full of flowers & trailing vines which I trained around tire spokes. Removed seat & put in a round planter wire basket with coconut liner and planted in that too .. loved it & miss it now.
