Each winter I always have a project to work on... a new bed, a new structure & this year it was revamping the veggie garden.
This will actually be the 5th time I've changed it up :) Originally it was just long rows of soil.. the traditional garden plot which just looked like we buried three bodies there. Just an FYI... I'm not very traditional & didn't like looking at bodies. The next was adding wooden boards.

B-O-R-I-N-G... It was very functional as the soil didn't spill out & I could plant all the way to the edges. In the end, this sad plot didn't get much attention as it just wasn't aesthetically pleasing to me.
Next, my super awesome husband came up with a fantastic idea of 1/4 on the sun design. I LOVED it!!

After using this a season, it became apparent to me that the middle plot: A. looked like a coffin & B. was too wide. FYI.. make your plots no wider than 4 feet unless you have some seriously long arms.
So, we (Sean) split that middle plot into a diamond & rectangle like shape. MUCH BETTER!!

We used this for a number of seasons & it worked great. The only thing is the spaces in between each bed is just a little too narrow so you need to be careful not to trip.
As the years have gone by, the wood has started to rot & boards were falling apart. Which brings me to my winter transition from wood to glass.
Thankfully I have wonderful friends who love wine as much as I do. Everyone collected bottles & I was able to finish my project.
I am so pleased with the look. When I sit out there & gaze upon the plot, I think about how each bottle represents a nice time of sharing a glass with friends. Perhaps even a few laughs & wonderful memories made.
