Thank you Greg. Where have you been today. Missed you. Were you out hunting for more sempervivum? Smiling

Twit, I worked out in the raised beds all day today. I did see what appeared to be sign of Triffid activity in one of the beds. I think I will have to send the gnome out at night. I would hate to loose my semps. Sad

OK - I'll bite...what is a triffid?? I did notice that I have a slight gnome infestation in my yard today! But they were just hanging out and didn't bother any of the plants! Big Grin

I found them to be the best deterrent for Triffids. But it looks like one of yours is a bit lazy. Looks like he's laying down on the job. Blinking

First the rabbits, then the triffids. Those poor sempervivum have to be tough to survive! Hilarious!

Greg, if your gnomes are that lazy, they shouldn't be much of a problem. Unless they lay on your plants and squash them. Rolling on the floor laughing

Triffids become a problem when the weather starts to improve.
Where is twit. He is the one to explain to us the damage they can cause. Sad

Greg, if the other tenants want to grow things Angry refer them to the gnome who is showing them their plot size. And the Gnome Knows. Oh, BTW if you want to be In With The In Crowd you might consider viewing The Day of the Triffids. It's a GEM. Rolling on the floor laughing

Oh Patty, I see you have first hand knowledge of Triffids. I hope they have not caused damage to your gardens, or person?

Love the idea of 'Speak to the gnome', he's in charge. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

If you catch a triffid infestation early, then they are not much of a problem. But if you wait too long, watch out! Crying Hope Greg is OK.

I'd look for him their stomachs or what passes for stomachs in carnivorous plants, if the triffids got to him.

(or did you guys think that round up came in spray bottles just for convenience??? Self-defense against triffids is the main purpose of this portable spraying solution, but its purpose is disguised so that people don't panic. When it gets really bad around here, I break out the super-soaker!)
