Gourd Bird Feeders
We cut gourds into various shapes and hang them on an old hall-tree to feed the birds. We used a coping saw to make various size openings for different types and sizes of seed. We cut some gourds into bowls and glued them onto bottom part of the hall-tree. The gourds are painted with bright colors which helps attract birds.
  Short of garden space? Try growing tomatoes upside down in 5-gal. buckets. We cut a 2-in. dia. hole in the bottom of several buckets which we mounted on an old clothes line pole. Soil is added, along with some straw on top that serves as a mulch to hold water. The seedling grows out of the hole and the tomatoes that result are easy to pick.
