Welcome to my first gardening blog. I am a super simple gardener… the easier the better! I look forward to sharing with you how to have creative fun with gardening, making projects and cooking with what you grow. Here is an idea… How do you create an inexpensive and fun birdbath?
chihuahuas testing out the birdbath
I am working on my girlfriends garden this week (will show you in future blogs) and thought this would be a nice little touch to her patio garden. I bought a sealed clay pot and a saucer that is much larger than the pot, turned the pot upside down and used Liquid Nails to glue the saucer on top. Find a saucer that is as deep as possible. I then took little half round glass marbles (craft store in floral supply) and glued them in random order to the bottom of the saucer. The total cost was under $15.00. Let it dry over night then add water. After setting the birdbath into place my chihuahuas decided that it served better as a water bowl for them.

What a great idea, I never would have thought of that! I have to make one of those. I can feed my little chihuahua and birds at the same time.

Thank you! If you don’t want to glue anything down, large round rocks and some large seashells looks great too!

I hope the chihuahuas know not to drink the floaters…
