  • I have proof that.........

    Gnomes really do exist and enhance garden spaces.

    There is no other explanation (well at least in my tiny brain cell) that my lovely Gnomes Gordon, Grenville, Gervais etc have been very busy putting plants into my garden when no ones looking.

    Here's my proof -

    Grew the foxgloves from seeds 2 years ago and no neighbours have them in their gardens.

    Now, my OH has never been able to tell the difference between a dandelion and a donut but it seems my trusty band of gnomes have enhanced both the colour and pollinator stock in my garden.
    Good old Gnomes.

      They're all mixed colour, and self seeded from the original (probably hybrid) plants. Same thing happens all the time in my garden, with no gnomes locally - unless fairies/pixies are about at night when I'm not

        If you could breed up a race of gnomes who enjoy weeding and don't eat too much, I'd buy a couple off you.

          Nah - they have to be gluttons with a liking for slugs and snails with a bindweed salad

            Hybrids are far too ‘way above my pay grade’ and as far as slugs etc

            Gulps ready for the truth......

            Between the frog,birds,hedgehogs and Gnomes so far this year i’ve found 6 slugs.

            Bring out Gnome power. It’s as good as anything else in my tiny chaotic garden.

              I don't think your gnomes are planting stuff.

              They're just painting the flowers for variety.

                    The purple what ever they are. Could it be purple toad flax? Looks a little similar. Don't know how much variation it has.

                        Are these Gnomes related to the rowdy lot that let their hair down in the cellar of the GR during the winter holidays?

                          How are you opening them? Left clicking on the photo - which opens the photo in a new tab, or right clicking and choosing an option - which leaves them sideways on?

                          That is, <open image in new tab> leaves them sideways, <open link in new tab> right way up in my Windows 10

                              Cad- I’m sorry but you seem to have a super dopper computer that don’t like my pics - boo!

                              Janie - of course they are related as I kidnapped a few from the GR a few years ago and let them get on with it.
