Hanging light bulb garden

We got a bunch of clear light bulbs that were on their way to the trash. After some trial and error we were successful in removing the filament and inside the socket. We drilled a small hole in the metal socket piece. We used my husbands old guitar strings and twisted a loop on the other end. Hung them up and added plants. I want to fill them mostly with mint, but snow is still preventing me from accessing it. I was able to grab a little bit and had to put ivy clippings in them for the moment. I want to add them all over the house, so we will have a fresh minty smell inside all year around :-)
I have started sprouting and growing parsley, Mung beans, chives, fennel and basil in my glass balls.
