This is such a cute poem and a very touching one. I always envied my friends who spent weekends with their grandparents as mine died before I was born. Good luck in the contest and thank you for sharing.

Beautifully done with impeccable rhyming and scanning. Nothing seems forced. It reads like a true story (although it probably isn't) and brings an affectionate memory or imagining to life.

This is such a lovely, well-written, moving response to the prompt. You have made excellent use of specific details, and use of direct words is especially effective.
The relationship of grandma and granddaughters is well described.

Contest author - what a serene poem. There is a tranquility to this hard day's work and the time the girls spent with their grandmother. The rhyme scheme is consistent and reflects the overall balance of the piece. Nicely done.

A lovely tribute to your grandmother and I can see in my mind's eye two young girls helping their gran. I can't suggest any improvements and I wish you well in the contest.

What a lovely way to spend time with grandma - and learn the skills of a gardener, too. Memories are made up of special moments like these. And when our dear ones are gone, we can reminisce and smile. Should do well in the contest. Thanks for sharing.
