today’s society, people are debating whether or not gardening is beneficial to one’s health or just a waste of taxpaying dollars.

John Steinbeck’s short story “The Chrysanthemums” centers on Eliza and her relationship with her husband Henry. Critic Gregory Palmerino brings light to their relationship issues.

I am ashamed to admit how much I hate weeds. I have devoted entire summers to eradicating them, researching and studying, scheming and scheduling, recruiting help and putting in backbreaking hours. Yet despite the effort, like Wylie Coyote, I have failed. Weeds have so many hiding places; they produce so many seeds; they are so persistent.
