Plot

Donald tries to grow a victory garden, but three pesky crows keep eating his seeds. After many failed attempts to outwit the crows, Donald's nephews give Donald a victory garden in his own bedroom with the aid of invisible seeds.

Production

Barks was given a script by the studio, accompanied by the following note: "Here is a 10-page story for Donald Duck. Hope that you like it. You are to stage it, of course. And if you see that it can be strengthened, or that it deviates from Donald either in narration or action, please make the improvements."[2] Barks rewrote the story before drawing it and, from then on, he both scripted and illustrated his stories, with few exceptions.

gollark: Personally, I just buy cheap phones every 2ish years and have a cheap £9/month SIM-only plan.
gollark: Somewhat. I go to my mobile provider's website sometimes and it says "get [shiny apple product] for just £55 a month" and think "... do people not know how to multiply by 24?".
gollark: Phones are still bought fairly regularly on 24-month contracts, at least.
gollark: Exactly. Also current payment status.
gollark: IKR, right? I mean, you should at *least* store the membership status of each user in a local cache so you can quickly decide what features to offer them.
