Gnome people invading garden

You can't fight gnomes- coming here in their little boats-they are taking over everywhere...

Indeed - and they contact each other by social media when something particularly delicious appears. I have experience of this.

They’re everywhere! They arrive with fishing rods and wheelbarrows ready to plunder the garden, even on the darkest night too as some carry lanterns.
New metal garden fences are the only deterrent that works.

Do you ever plant hetbs, GrandmaMaples? I've heard on the grapevine they're not keen on sage or rosemary because they're too pungent (and they have long memories, in the past, traditionally, they have been used to cast spells on them).

If you install a Fairy Door on the fence or a tree the Fairies will come and sort them out for you.

They come into my garden disguised as rabbits. Try cayenne pepper sprinkled around as they don’t seem to like it.

Thank you all for your kind replies! I will take them all into consideration

Tell them to go gnome. 🤣

Ok will get my coat 🫣

We had a Fairy door in an apple tree which Grandad helped Granddaughter to make.

Since the tree fell down, and the Fairies moved, we've been losing our vegetables and flowers, now I know why! It's those pesky gnomes.

They come into my garden, lift up the netting round the figs, eat them and put the netting back afterwards . They strip the leaves off trees and rip open garden cushions and take the stuffing out to line their little houses. They have big eyes and only come out at night, carrying their babies on their backs. They’ve got gnomanners.

They’ve got gnomanners.

😂😂😂

Do you want to exterminate them or just keep them out GrandmaMaples?

It's illegal to exterminate them.
If you try, they will turn rogue and destroy the whole garden.

I’ve only got one gnome, his name is Billy Gnomates.

they don't like curry powder...springle some on your garden...they've been heard to sneeze after sniffing it..

I’m safe so far, my dogs bark like the idiots they are, every time the sniff a gnome. The gnomes are setting up next door

They always eat any seeds that I plant, but that seems to keep them off the ones that DH plants. Hmm...

What if they haven't got a gnome to go to?

Your post has dredged up memories of a record called, I think, 'The Laughing Gnome' 😁

Just looked it up - David Bowie, 1973

He must bd lonely.
I can send him some friends via Elvi, sorry Evri.

DH has a tub of granules in the shed called Gnomore. If you sprinkle it around, it deters gnomes and helps your plants to grow.

Somewhere there must be some Gnomes with a lovely display of cyclamen in their garden. Years ago I planted £25 worth of cyclamen corms, the pesky gnomes dug them up and ran off with them.
I think of those gnomes every autumn when I don't see my hoped for, beautiful display of cyclamen.

😲
They've planted them in all the cracks between my paving slabs and in the gravel! I've never caught them, but it must be them because it wasn't me.
Do you want them back?

I don’t think so Allira, as he trusts gnomeone!

Oh dear, I'll have to try the Gnomore instead!
Never mind.

Just retrieved it from the shed and, with my new spectacles, I can see it says Growmore.
Duh!
