A small and rather diminutive package arrived via Fed Ex this afternoon and we thought it was so absurd that it should be documented. I do not envy the person whose job it was to mummify this creature in bubble wrap.
Care to venture a guess at what lurks beneath the packaging?
Hint: It is definitely garden related. And nope, not a giant paddle for hitting people over the head who urinate in the street garden, although I am considering it for that purpose.
Doing my best warrior impression.
Looks like a rake for giants!
I have to agree – it looks like a huge rake.
A giant broom?
a skinny scarecrow…..no no….a pitch fork….no no no….aaaaaa…..a “stop don’t trample the veg” sign!
pitchfork!!
A bee pole.
its a giant dinner fork
A giant neon sign, advertising the awesomeness of your rooftop garden?
lol, i can’t wait to find out!!
A combine for a container wheat field?
A potato cannon?
A telescoping chain-saw lopper?
How many guesses are we allowed?
Skinny tiki!
some sort of bird or bat house?
Danged if I know! but I am full of curiosity.
I am thinking perhaps a sun reflector?
A trident.
I think it’s one of those things for hanging your tomatoes upside down. Or, maybe it’s a tiki torch? Hmmm, I’m also thinking it could be a heater.
Some kind of rain gutter attachment?
One prong of a really large fan?
The world’s most inefficient surfboard?
A butterfly net.
A bat net.
A bird net.
A jellyfish net.
It’s a patio umbrella?
I thought it was a pizza peel til you said it was garden-related. Trellis bits?
a raised bed/ container with a pole or trellis?
I think it looks like a giant broom, but you said garden-related…
Some sort of gizmo that weeds the garden in your absence? Like an agricultural Roomba??
I think it’s a catapult that you will use to launch seed-bombs.
I think it’s a shovel…a giant shovel.
Do we get something if we get it right? lol, jk
hmmm…is it a birdhouse? thats it! a birdhouse for flat birds!
Shelving
something for the street garden! either a “tarnashins, get off my land” sign or a giant flyswat. :)
I’m going with pitchfork because your warrior pose reminds me of “American Gothic”.
sooooooooo, when are you going to tell us! oh, the suspense….
Shannon: I will post when someone gets it right. Hint: There is one close answer.
Pirate: Sure! I can rustle up a prize.
I am loving all of your answers and wish there were items that did some of these things you’ve suggested!
bat house?
Butterfly house!
What a funny package!
A compost and mulch fork, like this:

(maybe a different brand) is my guess.
A sign-board for “YouGrowGirl Gardens” Definitely fun, whatever it is.
oh, is it a light spreader!?!
Still not right. If no one gets it I will post tomorrow. Actually, I’ll post tomorrow regardless.
Does it involved light of some sort? Or am I completely on the wrong track…
It’s a butterfly house, says the girl that has NO idea what it is! But I do love the look on your face.
It’s a solar panel to run your margarita blender in the garden…what, you don’t do that in your garden? Come on, gardening and a cocktail, it’s a good thing…hehe
It’s a ‘DO NOT PEE IN THE GARDEN’ SIGN
OR
It’s a bean pole for climbing beans?
IS IT A CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT SIGN FOR ONE OF YOUR GARDENS?
OR SOME SORT OF GONDOLA OR TRELLIS FRAMEWORK? BUTTERCUP: THE GARDEN COKTAIL IS DEFINITELY A GOOD THING!
Will post the follow up at noon. Lots of good ideas for inventions but not what’s in the box.
Good Lord. I have no clue. I’m gonna go with…
Scuffle hoe? Who you callin’ a hoe? LOL
A sonic pest controller.
It’s Gumby with his arms and legs together…
and it’s garden-related because… um… he’s green, that’s why.
It’s definitely Gumby… look, you can see the shape of his head and everything!
I’ll go now. :)
A solar powered light/lamp?
A solar heat panel?
A rain gauge?
A weather vane?
A sundial?
A pond skimmer?
Can I get a 2nd guess? A wasp house?
Haha, my guess would be a house for mason bees, but other than that I’m completely stumped!
That is an AWESOME picture though, hah!
I think it’s a tree
Upside down tomato planters with pole…
Drip-tape irrigation system…
A row marker…
seriously the only thing missing from this photo is your cape. xo
Long handled tree pruner with saw. Also good to use on pthose urinating in the street
