Item 88: The Book of Gnomes

Four years ago I started an herb garden. The garden is a small plot just outside the back door of our garage. It's a simple little plot but it brings me a lot of pleasure. Dave helped me set it up (dug up the dirt, added compost, put up a chicken wire fence to keep the critters out).
Here's a photo from last year's garden. This photo was taken fairly early in the season. By the end of the summer the plants are usually quite large and run into each other.

Do you see Jerome the gnome in the photo? Meghan gave him to me as a gift. Nicole gave me a gnome too. It came with this book. I've had the gnome Nicole gave me at work. He's been guarding my office plants. I decided to bring him home and will place him in the herb garden this year. I had the book at work too but I've decided to give that away so someone else can learn the mystery of gnomes. I need to come up with a name for this second gnome. Any suggestions?
