Under the cats, mostly.
okay they're kinda funky
I don't actually like garden gnomes at all, but there's something pretty charming about the teeny pixies!

I love the Kinsman catalog. I have bought a few things from them. My favorite is my living wreath form. I make one up every year.

I've been doing it for about 5 years. Normally I use a mix of impatiens, alysum, sometimes begonias, sometimes coleus. I normally hang it in the shade.

Thanks! Gail, if you decide to try it, I HIGHLY recommend using one of their liner inserts. The planting goes much faster, with MUCH less swearing.

Aren't Gmones the distant cousin of Gnomes? I think they're much smaller and make moaning noises when they're really upset....either way, they're both scary!

I need to find the garden gnome I saw the other day.
He had his drawers dropped so he could moon passersby.

That is a gnome I definitely want.
