Beginners Gardening

Shouldn’t you be sitting in your unairconditioned farmhouse with one lightbulb, singing Kumbaya to your 15 shelter kitties while growing your own food in the community garden, helping the poor by selling all your worldly goods instead of throwing your money away in a capitalist system supporting Steve Jobs and Bill Gates? Come on young ones be activists or shut up.

I am planning a "Fairytale" theme garden. We have approx 1 acre and would like to include Snow White and Alice in wonderland areas. I am having trouble finding garden statues but I know they’re out there, I’ve seen them in other gardens. Any suggestions?

I only have a small garden and the flower beds seem to be littered with cat poo. (I don’t have a cat!) How can I keep the cat(s) away?
