I remember when we were living there, I saw some gardens that had gnomes as far as the eye could see. Quite extraordinary!Lynn Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726341040976568748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362037601559788546.post-2721776623021478022013-04-28T10:12:03.754-04:002013-04-28T10:12:03.754-04:00I am not a fan of garden gnomes in my garden...but...I am not a fan of garden gnomes in my garden...but I am certainly not going to tell someone they can't have them in their garden.

Perhaps I shall plan to go again and we can meet to see all the fabulous displays.

I look forward to watching the coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show and seeing who has been brave enough to place Gnomes in their show gardens - taking the opportunity of this momentary ban. I'm not sure what to expect but that makes it all the more exciting!Sunil Patelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998062749546109287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362037601559788546.post-47397960244820539532013-04-25T09:16:07.626-04:002013-04-25T09:16:07.626-04:00Thanks Chris!

Of course the gnome on the travel site has a British accent is is probably cross about all the years he was banned from Chelsea (:<br /><br />Thank you for the walk through your beautiful garden (http://www.redneckrosarian.com/).

So in 2014 the gnome supporters will go back to their demonstrations outside the front gate!<br /><br />My friend Joan wrote reading this posting made her want to go out and buy a gnome. Hopefully a subtle one like you are looking for (:Lynn Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726341040976568748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8362037601559788546.post-39625920451094463932013-04-22T20:16:42.019-04:002013-04-22T20:16:42.019-04:00How funny!

That would be a sight to behold!<br /><br />I have just visited your blog and your daffodils are gorgeous. Plus you found a lucky ladybug! That means a great gardening year ahead for you.

Chelsea flower show should be all kinds of gardens for all kinds of people, I think. About one or two gnomes for the gnome lovers secretly among the flowers, herbs or grasses to avoid a gnome party (haha).Janneke https://www.blogger.com/profile/11056916431881916066noreply@blogger.com
