How do I make my mother’s garden gnomes to stop talking to me?
So everyday when I get home from school my mother’s garden gnomes (you know the miniature men that work in your garden for free) are all chillin’ and smokin’ and when I walk by they say perverted things to me. I wish they would just work on the garden and stop talking to me! How do i get them to stop?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Its well known gnomes and trolls don’t get along, so just ignore them
Richard asks…
How do I break my obsession of collecting garden gnomes?
I love garden gnomes and cant stop buying them. what can i do to stop it? I have a similar problem with prizza- i eat it 4 times a day.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Start collecting pinwheels instead. And switch to eating a taco every now and then. Are you buying the stuffed crust pizzas? Those are soo good!
Betty asks…
What is the purpose of garden gnomes?
I would like a little more information as to why persons place garden gnomes in their gardens? Is it to attract these special gnome beings to see if they are really in existence? Or is it just for simple outer decoration?
GardenersCardiff answers:
What a great question! My mother has always had them which frankly freaked me out a bit lol but she said they are suppose to be there to help the garden grow and protect it from intruders like mice and squirrels. I don’t know if it’s true but she is so cute with her little garden gnomes that I have to believe her 
good luck finding out the true origin of these little creepy statues!

Sandra asks…
Do you grow your own fruit or vegetables?
GardenersCardiff answers:
My six year old daughter wanted a garden 2 yrs ago and we planted corn, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, garlic, water melons, green onions, cucumbers,and banana peppers. The deer around here ate all the corn and the rabbits had a field day in the garden too, we have moved across the street since then and all we have planted so far is flowers, but the veggies and fruits are not far off, possibly this spring.
Mandy asks…
Should everyone start growing their own fruit and vegetables?
If enough people did this, prices would come down and governments and greedy bankers would realise they don’t have such a hold on us. At the moment too many people are reliant on buying food from supermarkets-who’s prices are fixed by the city and walk street. Growing your own produce, all or just some of it. This can be grown in your garden, in an allotment if you have one, a roof garden. Even if you live in a flat this can be done inside and in window boxes. We the people need to start influencing politicians and bankers with our actions as they are meant to be our loyal servants, not the other way round.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Great question, yes everybody should as its better for you and tastes better. The supermarkets stuff is garbage, i get the kids involved growing healthy little gem lettuce and potatoes, they actually get excited at cropping time.
Everybody should do this and there should be more allotments available to the ordinary joe public.
Great question and happy growing to all posters
Linda asks…
Ii it better to buy vegetable seeds in a packet, than to harvest seeds from your own vegetables for later use?
I grew some okra from seed I took from last years crop. They are very stunted.
GardenersCardiff answers:
I don’t think that it’s a “racket” by the seed companies to get you to buy seed in packets. It’s the knowledgeable advancement that botanists use in plant genetics that makes you have to by hybridized seed. Seed in the F2 generation, will not grow true to form. In other words, it will not be just like the plant that it came from and will most likely take the growing and production habits from one of the parent plants, which in the long run may have an undesirable trait. In order to get a healthy maximum producing plant, you will need to buy seed in packets which have been bred for maximum yield and perfect plant growth. Hope this answers your question.
