Last fall I found a couple of unpainted garden gnomes on a clearance rack in a discount store. I bought them figuring painting them would be a great winter project for my husband.
He did an awesome job with them.
They’re in my garden now along with several other gnomes. I thought they would help me keep the weeds under control.
So far they haven’t been much help.

I have a ceramic turtle in my garden, it's not helping with the bugs either

@BettyB I don't mind sharing I just don't want my plants destroyed.

@fishtiger58 The bugs are doing a number on my eggplant. I'm not sure what to do about it.

Sadly, that reminds me of some people I know.

Sadly some weeds are pretty. At least they are until they take over the garden.

@BettyB While they do not help they do make your garden look more beautiful.

They sure do. I have a huge mulched area around a tree. Its full of gnomes, bird baths and flower pots. We call it gnome hill.

There's tomatoes and summer squash in the garden. I'm assuming they're vegetarian.

Your little gnome is so cute. I have two turtles but they don't do much either
