“By the yard”

Hey Strands fans. I found today’s one pretty tough. Garden gnomes aside, there’s not really a culture of lawn ornaments in the UK, so I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for.
Even when I used a clue to find GNOME, I wasn’t really sure of the right terminology. I discovered PLANTER by chance underneath it, but then I had to use another clue to find FLAMINGO.
Thankfully, that covered enough of the board for me to figure out the spangram: LAWNORNAMENTS spelt backwards from bottom to top.
That, in turn, showed where the final two answers were – one on the right, and one on the left. I got the latter first, with WINDSOCK curled around itself in the top-right corner. That left just BIRDBATH to find on the opposite side.
A tough one that. Hopefully tomorrow’s will be simpler…
