Old Well House Converted To Lettuce Bed!

We have a old well house in the backyard that no longer works, it's kind of an eyesore. I had pondered removing the lid and building a large table out of it, but it's really to tall for that. Mark had the wonderful idea to turn it into our lettuce bed! He cleaned it out taking out all of the old parts that no longer worked. After that he filled the whole thing up with dirt and planted different kinds of lettuce in it. Around the corners where the block was open he put carrot seeds in. It was a very easy project and works wonderfully for our lettuce! It keeps it off the ground so the animals cant get to it! So love that Mark thought of this great DIY project! I may end up painting the block on the outside, you know I have to paint everything. ;)
What about you? Do you have an old well house that is begging for a new use? Or a creative way to garden? I would love to hear about it! Happy Gardening!
