Looks fab SC!

I think it’s absolutely magnificent!

I’ve done a sign for the barrow now as it wasn’t really screaming stop and buy something.

It still doesn’t scream buy something. So I’m about to go make an open / closed sign  Big Grin .

And it’s still not where I want it but the man I need to ask is on holiday at the moment.

Love it!

Sales are slow but then there aren't many holiday makers looking to take home a few veg plants  Big Grin . I've had to remove the bird boxes that bob made, from the Barrow.  Mrs. Wasp decided a nest box was a perfect place for her to raise her offspring.  Mrs. Wasp's nest was relocated as best I could , while she was out. Hopefully she'll think the money box to small to build in.

I hope sales soon pick up for you, it certainly looks the part.  Do you have many near neighbours where you are?

I remember years ago I had a stall outside mainly selling plants which really took off, at the time we were on quite a busy road with plenty of punters passing.

Could you put a cork/plug or some sort in the hole? Maybe just a "Buzz off" sign would warn Mrs Wasp off?

Not many closer neighbours. Only 9 houses with permanent residents in the village    Smile . Hopefully things will pick up when I have some bunches of flowers available.

We did consider putting tape over the holes with a note explaining. We might do that yet. I like the buzz off idea   Cool .
We’ve managed to sell a couple of them. While they were still on show  Smile .

I was at a craft fair selling jewellery last year - the best stall was a guy who had made bird boxes and feeders. He had used tree trunks and hollows out the middles.
