Garden Gnome Confusion30 Aug '07 4:01 am
Well Tuinkabouter, I must admit I was a little confused by your post. If you have read much on the Forum, you will know that we have a member called Garden Gnome. I thought at first that he was directing us to a new blog he had created. Instead I found a new Garden Gnome. Interesting. Thanks for introducing yourself. You may be too busy with your own blog to become an active contributor to the Moosey's Forum, but we would welcome you. |

I doubt Tuinabouter has ever bothered to read any of the many websites, forums or usenet groups to which she spammed multiple advertisements during the last 24 hours...including, many destinations where commercial intrusion is banned.Strangely, her multiple messages all fail to mention that her kind of "swapping seeds" involves money, paid up front.
In a decade or more of home-garden seed and plantswapping via the internet, I have never before encountered an amateur seed "swapper" who required payments to a paypal account,or marked some items on their extensive list "sold out", or required so many personal details before even discussing an exchange by email.
(A remarkable seed harvest list indeed, from what its owner describes as a very young postage stamp garden and he allotment's first growing season.) |

You are very quick,Janet to pick up on this-I have just visited Winsford,and there he/she is too with the same message.Several of us belong to more than Mooseys,(though Mooseys is HOME)but are all contributing in various ways,and with true generous garden friendship.

Thanks Janet. I did have my suspicions, so I didn't fully explore the site the link took me to. Just determined that it wasn't our Garden Gnome after all. I posted the message here just on the off chance that it might be legitimate. Didn't want to appear stand offish. The lack of response from tuinkabouter (think abouter) tells the story. |

How depressing!31 Aug '07 6:56 am
I guess it takes all kinds to make a world.
To my friends here at Moosey, you all have my love, and this doesn't cost you anything.
This reminds me of an old Music Hall song.
If I could plant a tiny seed of love in the garden of your heart.
Would it grow to be a great big love some day,
or would it die and fade away?
Would you care for it and tend it every day,
till the time when we should part?
If I could plant a tiny seed of love in the garden of your heart.
The recording I have is sung by Hellen Clare and broadcast first on the BBC in 1937 on a show called "Palace Of Varieties". The song is much older than that.
Christopher, Moosey's "original" garden gnome |

Our Real GG31 Aug '07 9:25 am
I think we all felt quite indignant that someone was impersonating OUR REAL Garden Gnome,even if unwittingly.
Often Music hall lyrics have a poignant quality -a little pathos,a little humour,and lots of heart ...It isn't lost on us,Christopher.
Love to you,Deb and Mom.
Dixie. |

Dear Christopher, you are truly a treasure to all of us on the Forum. Your wide ranging knowledge of so many things is fascinating. I am sure you have been busy with all your varied activities, but we would love to see more posts from you on the Forum. Bring us up to date, will you? |

Wow! What a mistake I nearly made!!6 Sep '07 6:26 pm
Hi, Christopher! I've been wondering where you had been lately, and how your garden was doing, so I jumped upon the chance to renew contact when I came upon the link. WELL!! Somehow, it seemed odd to me that a gardener from Saskatchewan would have a website in Dutch, but, being the trusting (read, "GULLIBLE") old guy that I am, I kept on looking through it. I did get one useful thing from the site, though, before I read the other posts on Moosey's. I found the source for the great slide show maker that this Dutch "Garden Gnome" uses, and now I have it downloaded and ready for use.
So, you see, folks, that it all depends upon how you view the experience. While I most emphatically thank those of you who sounded the alarm, I DID get something of use from the site. And the pictures ARE good (I wonder, now, though, whether they have been plagiarized - anyone recognize any of them from other sites??)!
Anyway, Christopher - just how IS your garden doing?
Cheers, all!
