The Gnome Garden

A dark cloud hangs over Mama gnome's pointy hat because of the Gulf Coast Oil Monster.

Every day she frets and worries about the humans, animals and fragile habitats affected by this terrible Oil Monster.

So to help smooth out the hundred wrinkles and frown lines, Mama gnome gazes out of her kitchen window and into the garden.

Trees and plants help soothe the old gnome's soul.

Mama gnome is also very lucky to have Daddy gnome.

Not only is Daddy gnome, Mama gnome's secret weapon against Computer who plays mind games on Mama gnome. Constantly.

Daddy gnome is also Mama gnome's secret weapon against gardening handicap.

You see, Mama gnome confesses she doesn't have green thumbs.

Actually she has ummm...brown thumbs, very good for composting and ensuring the decay of plant life.

But she's very lucky to have Daddy gnome and young gnomelets who inherited Daddy gnome's green thumb genes.

And so the gnome family have started a humble vegetable garden.
