Helene and Eleanor were neighbours. Helene was a keen gardener; very keen indeed! Eleanor didn’t know a great deal about gardening but had a kindly disposition.
When Helene went away for a week Eleanor weeded Helene’s garden.

When Helene comes back she will have no plants left…and no love for Eleanor.

But Eleanor does know a dandelion from a dahlia, so it all ended happily ever after!

And dandelions can be rather pretty in fact!

Oh no! My youngest son once “weeded” all of the mums I had just planted. He was trying to be helpful, so it was hard to be mad. It was also hard to be grateful.

I was sent out by my teacher (single teacher country school) to weed the garden and pulled everything out! They were broad beans so in the long run the whole district was grateful!
