I like to add quilts and fabric everywhere, even in my garden. I made a rough sample of a fabric weaving cover for my strawberry hanging planter. I call it the "Strawberry Dazzler". It is very windy up on our hill and I love to see the streamers blow in the wind.
The second photo shows the bottom of it better. I should have made this before my strawberry plants were spreading out so much. It was hard to weave the fabric thru' the plants. I also just grabbed some strips of fabric that were already cut. I like the yellow ones the best against the red and green.
I can't wait until all the plants are growing and in full bloom!
You can follow along with the photos and step by step instructions in the photo gallery.
I planted a few plants mid May and they are coming along pretty good. I love the steps my husband made.
There was still water in them this morning!
My husband had to a cut larger hole in the top of my hanging planters.

Love your strawberry hanger. I have heard of the bottle watering method, but never tried it. We collect rain water from 2 drain spouts into large plastic tanks (water buffalos) and that is what we use to water all the outside plants with - so yes, lots of lugging water.
I never thought of that for watering small plants. I used to use the milk jug method when I had a garden. I am going to show this to Seth in the morning. We don't buy pop, so now he'll get to. Double the fun!
I like the strawberry plant hangers,I have always wanted to grow strawberries and that idea of the water bottle in the wet soil is a great one!
Very nice hanging planter. The bottle watering idea is great too. I have a few pots that dry out very quickly and I think this will help. Thanks. Oh and I love the plant marker too. I am soo going to steal that idea :)
Thanks for the great plant watering idea. My husband waters the plants everyday. When he goes back to work I will not do that, so this will work for me.
