Ugggg.........yes.........it is that time of year to find that perfect gift for that special man in your life.......your Dad.....   If your Dad is a gardener or just simply likes to play in the yard, then we have that perfect gift.  The best gift is usually a collaboration of several different and related items.  You want your Dad to know you actually put some thought into it.   Here a inexpensive but wonderful gift idea.  Purchase or reuse an existing hanging basket.  A plastic basket will be just fine Then place four herbs in the empty baskets still in their individual pots.  Then go ahead and also add to the mix a book on herbs.  Secure with raffia or twine, add a card, and now your done.  We will show you several other ideas to make Father's Day a very special day this year as well.
 
Here's another idea!  I like surprises in the garden. Here is a fun and simple project to hang from your trees or simply use in a container.  I call this a "wine bottle star". 
 
Your will need:
 
9                   Assorted wine bottles with corks
2  tubes         Household   silicone glue
4 rolls           Paper towels
                    A little patience
 
First you start with gluing the bottoms of 4 wines bottles together.  Let dry for 4 hours.
Then you glue the center of the 4 bottles with one additional bottle sitting upwards.  Let dry for 4 hours.
Last, you then glue 4 bottle leaning upwards at a 45 degrees angle with the paper towels supporting each bottle as they dry for 4 hours.
 
Then either place in a tree or lay on top of a pot and then plant around.
