    Some of you might remember the Pill Box that nestles in the Corner of the garden.

    Finally got around to turning it into a Veg Store.

    Sealed off the gun turrets & given it a lick of paint.

    Just got the last bit to paint now, a rainey day job, if we ever get any:DOH:

    Its cool in the summer & should keep the frost off in the winter.:thumbsup:

      Well that looks so much better Ziggy. Congratulations.
      Hope you get lots of lovely veg to store in there.
      Do you grow any Kohl Rabbi. They've been great here this year - come nice and early while waiting for other things and the green tops are good just stir fried. No waste there .

      Cheers Alice,

      The Kohl Rabbi didn't germinate this year. I'm sure we'll have some roots to store in sand, and some cabbages if the butterflies don't have them all.

      Its somewhere to shelter from the rain & have a cup of tea too.

          Oh going by the title I thought you'd made a little ornamental container to store your pills :)

          It's a great asset for you, not many people can claim to have one of those in their garden.

            Like the refurbishment Ziggy. Couldn't help but notice the 'green door'. Remember my thread about green. I remember you saying you'd paint everything green and was it yellow........I'd have preferred that! Just teasing. :WINK1:

            Have been known to make those too John.

            From the outside you'd probably just dismiss it as a garden wall with a hole in it.

            Clad in local stone, it just blends in with the gardens.

              I did Sheal, being a fan of Southern Railways in my youth(green & yellow livery) I nearly got beaten up by football supporters who couldn't understand that a green & yellow scarf wasn't a football scarf.

              Serves me right for being a trainspotter I suppose.:D
