How His Garden Grew A suburban tale of a man and cat antics
Oliver Grimston moves from a flat to a suburban back yard with plans for a thriving garden. His wife Mary Ellen the cat and three kittens complicate the venture as they drift across the neighbor’s property. A rich neighbor complains, the maid escapes with the kittens, and the garden yields odd results with bare tops on lettuce and slender radish roots. The story ends with the yard again overgrown and the gardener’s plans in tatters.
