Ognar Rance frantically looked through the tidy drawers in his garden shed, desperately searching for the syringe he’d used to add his ‘special blend’ formula into his dynamic strength plant food in readiness for the council’s forthcoming Nature’s Makeover competition.

‘Ooh, yes, that would be lovely,’ Myrtle smiled as she popped the syringe she was using to feed the tomato plants back into a wooden box, ‘I’ve just finished here now.’
