Sign wording - Small chilli - 01-10-2023
Help please
I’m going to make a sign for the area next to the post box. Where I’ve planted daffodils & sown foxglove. Even though it has a little horseshoe fence around it. People still walk on it. So they can come have a chat with us when we’re working in the garden. ( Just come in the gate people we don’t bite
)I’d like your help with the wording. It’s not going to be a massive sign. But hopefully it’ll be noticeable as I’m going to attempt to paint a daffodil on it.
So far I’ve come up with.
sleeping daffodils stay off their bed.
Or
Get off the ………….. daffodils !
I’d like something witty rather than my usual sarcasm with underlying aggression
.Thank you

How about 2 or 3 signs on posts so they're easily visible above the horseshoes? Paint a daffodil or any other flower with a stream of ZZzzzzzz coming out of its trumpet.........and/or a big boot with a X over it. Pictures shout louder than words.

People eating daffodils - Keep Off!

I like Veggie’s idea of a picture of a big boot hovering over a daffodil.
RE: Sign wording - Small chilli - 01-10-2023
Some very good suggestions. Lots for me to think about.
Veggie you might be over estimating my drawing/ painting ability

All your suggestions were very good and appreciated. I still went with sarcastic with underlying violence
.The rest of the village ( who it’s aimed at ) would expect nothing less from me and would think something was wrong if I hadn’t
