Q: While visiting our daughter in VA, I noticed a neighbor had planted glass wine bottles, butt end upward, around the edge of her vegetable garden plot. What might be the purpose?

A: I think it was just for decoration. I use ceramic dinner plates to decorate around beds in my own garden. The following link gives ten ways to use wine bottles in a garden, from a chandelier to a water feature: xrl.us/winebottle.
