Neighbours talking over the garden gate has long been a tradition. They share gardening tips, complain about the weather and pests yet are ever eager to discuss their gardens. That is what I had in mind when creating this blog. So stop by my garden gate to find out the latest happenings in my garden.

Happy Gardening!

Gnome Bath

Gnome Bath
May 11, 2010

The Gnome Empire now has a population of twenty and growing.  What many don't realize is gnomes enjoy having a nice bath at least one a year whether they need it or not.  In between baths they also enjoy a shower much the same as humans do.  They also enjoy a liberal spraying of Krylon® clear coat that acts as a sunscreen to keep their colours bright and cheery. 

Pictured are three of the gnome residents with their friends after their bath.  A gnome bath is quite dependent on the gnome's personality (size, composition).  Some larger gnomes will need a sponge bath while mid-sized and smaller will can have a regular bath.  They enjoy a mild soap using an exfoliate brush to get rid of any grime after a hard season of helping in the garden.  Some gnomes may need a refreshing coat of paint or even just a change of clothes.  I find my gnomes like wearing traditional colours for their clothing as do most gnomes although I'm told some city gnomes wear a bit more non-traditional colours but we are so rural that city gnomes find our way of life a bit too unexciting and quiet.

Happy Gardening!
