Sweet Peas and Patron
This is a super cool and fun way to recycle that creates a good conversation piece and one that usually gets noticed by the guys in the room. When you are done drinking your Patron recycle the bottle by creating a vase! The glass surface of a Patron bottle has an uneven affect to it which is similar to the look of hammered tin. The large and small Patron bottles both have a square-like shape and both sizes work well as a vase. It’s an even nicer presentation with glass floral pebbles, beach glass or marbles sunk on the bottom. O.K. even better when you grow your own heirloom Sweet Peas!
I gave this to a neighbor who was sick and she liked the “flowers in party mode!” It was an instant mood lifter.
* Note to my sister–Patron is a type of Tequila (I would have to give you my bottle upon completion if you desire to try this!).

What type of heirloom sweet peas do you use? Are they more fragrant than non-heirloom?

I buy them online at Burpee.com or local home and garden store that features heirloom seeds.
I think that that heirloom sweet peas are more fragrant, and I buy different varieties each year. I usually trellis them, but you can container garden them too.
