Too funny. I've seen many gardens with this infestation.

Funny video. I can relate. Yep, I have a small Gnome investation. Cute little critters. I even had one transport itself from my garden to my neighbors house across the street. He was MIA for a long time. I was a bit sad; I liked that particular gnome made of cement. To my surprise, I found it 1.5 years later when the neighbor had some bush and tree excavation work done. There he was hiding all that time, alone, under a thick cloud of bushes and he hadn't seen the sun for 18 months, poor thing. I helped myself to him and brought him home safely where he now lives in the back yard undisturbed, except for the few plastic off-springs he's produced since then.

Oddly, just as I clicked on that video, the commercial about the same species was showing on TV. And I seem to have a serious infestation of the things on my Farmville farm--the more I get rid of, it seems the more show up.

The people who live next door to my parents have a number of them. All different sizes. They weren't to the point of being tacky, like another house here in town is. (You can't see the grass, honest, because of the number of them).

Last summer someone stole her largest one out of her front yard, so she doesn't put them out any more.

I have two of The Seven Dwarfs setting up a community in my strawberry patch. . Whistle while you work. Since it's only two guys and they showed up togewther, they must be gay.

It has already started in our back yard, thanks to my husband. I think it's too late for us to stop them.

Izzie -- that video is extremely funny and well done.

What about The Pink Flamingos? And those Lawn Jockies? Have they all been eradicated?

I have a New York Yankee gnome.....but I keep him inside.

It's no wonder they're hardy, they probably originated from Gnome, Alaska. :-)

Very funny Jodi!!

I've got a golfing gnome in my back garden!

I get cats(ceramic) in my containers in the garden, thanks to a neighbor! Loved the gnome video....have to send it on to gardening kin!

cute!

For another viewpoint there's always this web site. They claim that there are thousands of garden gnomes enslaved in our yards.

Here is a link that might be useful: Free the Gnomes

BWAHAHAHA! As a Master Gardener, I found the use of the Utah State Extension Office made it that much more clever . . . Thanks for the link!

Too funny...we woke up one day to find a giant one in our driveway looking up to the house. He was big and heavy being made of cement, scared the beejeebers out of me! Took us forever to find out how he got there....but sure enough more of them have arrived over time!! When I called the police to let them know we had been "gnomed", (we didn't want them thinking we stole it....and started the infestation!!) they got quite a chuckle out of it.

I had too much 'garden junk", especially too many Gnomes. I gave them away on Craigslist.

I have one that was a gift in my front bed. I recently painted it since it had faded. But I keep finding him on the sidewalk out of the bed. I have no idea how that is happening unless he is very gymnastic and is doing somersaults. We have another small one by the side door. He is on a John Deere tractor pulling a little trailer that is actually a flower pot you can plant something in. My husband liked the tractor it matches his. I see many I really like but I resist the temptation because I know it could easily lead to a bad infestation lol.

My infestation is currently restricted to a box or two in the garage. I've had to keep them there in the dark for approximately two years. I'm afraid if I let them out, they'll be running around the neighborhood wreaking havoc in all of my neighbor's flower beds.

LOL this is funny. I don't have a gnome, but it does seem like once people get one, they multiply very quickly somehow . . . and move about . . . lol

I love the video. Very funny!! I made an acquaintance of one a few years ago. I met his girl friend and his cat. We stay in touch.

That video is silly! Loved it! I have two that have "over-wintered" on my front porch. They are kind of hard to find over here though, I have wanted to buy some but can hardly find them anywhere...seems ODD!

ROTFLMAO....rredbbeard you're certifiable! Love it!
