Author Garden: I collect anything with... rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                    flowers on it. It used to be chintzware before it was discovered by everyone. I once bought a plate at a garage sale for 50 cents. Now I buy the old pictures of english cottages with gardens. The pictures are from the 1930-40`s I think. That and garden books old and new. I have a few first editions. * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.216.115 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                    And now don`t laugh, a few summers ago after 30 some years of gardening, I realized that I was a plant collector!! I really like to antique and junk. Very often I find myself trying to figure out if something I am looking at could be planted. * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.217.122 weezie13 Compost Queen!

I have a pair of boots that my brother wore for a few years, then I wore for many yeras, then each of my 3 kids wore them. They are now planted with hens and chicks. * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.208.168 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                    Well one of the pair is planted the other one my son made into a birdhouse. * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.208.168 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                    I did that with my last pair....got the idea here and planted away! Now if anybody comes to my house they better not take off your shoes to long! How did you make a bird house out of a boot? If I used a pair of my son's work boots it would kill the birds. * * * * Plants: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Seeded: 68.66.244.5 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                    LOL. No cruelty to animals allowed, catlover. Cut a hole on the side of the heel, size and distance from the floor for the type bird you want. Use an old licence plate for the roof. Attach roof with wire, just poke holes through the leather. * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.219.121 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                    Here is a link to some of my cottage pictures. Some of them are so dark. I need to figure out a better way to scan them. http://www.geocities.com/vanbingham/cottage.html * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 67.29.217.2 catlover The Cheetah! Member # 654 posted                    Ohhhh Rue those are great pictures! Is the outside of your house set up that way as well? I just love to drive by a house like that and take a few minutes and observe! In Calif. you don't want to sit too long or a cop will be on ya! * * * * Plants: 7129 | From: California | Registered: Mar 2003  |  Seeded: 68.66.244.5 jc2weho Heaven's Gardener Member # 1554 posted                    Hi Rue, Do you have a photo program on your computer? If so, scan the prints as jpeg files and sent them to your photo program. There you can adjust the brightness. Hope this helps, as those prints are lovely! If they are already jpeg's, just sent them to me at jc2weho@worldkey.net and I can adjust them for you and send them back. * * * * Plants: 409 | From: Los Angeles - Hollywood Hills | Registered: Oct 2003  |  Seeded: 63.205.46.153 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                    I have paint on my computer. Is that a photo program? * * * * Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 171.75.110.119 rue anemone Super Gardener Member # 1744 posted                    Thank you jc2weho for the help. No my yard isn`t really set up like that yet but I am slowly getting there. Plants: 679 | From: IN | Registered: Dec 2003  |  Seeded: 171.75.96.91
