Garden Experiments

Need ideas for planting experiment-fun 2010

13 years ago

I have done a few fun things in the garden for the last two years of gardening;

2008: Cucumber and Star shaped hearts

2009: Face Shaped Squash

I am wondering if you have any fun suggestions of things to do this year? Please help!

I know they do it with pears - but maybe a cucumber in a bottle? You can then pickle it. Would this even work???

Yes. I used candle molds for the cucumbers and chocolate molds for the sqaush. It's fun and different. I like to switch it up every year.
