Last week, we learned there’s a new gardener in town. Well, actually, G.G. Dieppe lives up on Mount Merino, a part of Carding, Vermont that no local considers “in town,” and no matter what she says, no one believes she’s ever dirtied her hands.

None of this matters to G.G. because she has decided to enter the “Best in Show” competition in the annual Home and Garden show. And she has declared to anyone who will listen that she is going to win at any cost.

This has riled the local dirt diggers to even greater heights of petal elegance, as we will find out in part two of tomorrow’s Carding Chronicle entitled The Home and Garden Tour.

Here’s a sample of what’s to come. Enjoy!
