    I was wondering if I googled gnomes what would come up. There are 3,840,000 sites listed for gnomes. The first being, "FreeTheGnomes.com"
    So, then I put in Gardenstew gnomes and there were 20,000 or more sites listed and each one contained something about gardenstew. Some were very interesting. Lots of save the gnome sites. Do you need saved Frank? I also found out where garden gnomes come from. Gnomes can't stand sunlight. They need 23 hours and 42 minutes of darkness. If they get too much sunlight they turn to stone. The stone ones get put into gardens. Better watch out Frank. It's a good thing you live in dull Malmo. Dooley

    I recently got saved By Chance & Crew so yes gnomes do need saving sometimes. But remember gnomes save humans too, we help out in the garden when no-one is looking. We save many a sore back :)

    I have a gnome house, but no gnome. I must remedy that. And my resident gnome can have complete cool darkness for as long as is needed so never ever need turn to stone.

    They turn into stone? I wonder if a good backrub and some liniment would help.

    *shaking my bottle of Watkins White Linament* Someone call the Watkins lady?
    Good thing my resident gnome lives under the thick canopy of Doug Firs, where nary a sunbeam dares strike!
