Looking for a children’s book I had in the 1970s/80s about two neighbors who begin competing to have the best garden. It’s very beautifully illustrated and their gardens grow bigger and more elaborate until eventually I think they grow together. It is possible they are forced to become friends and cooperate at that point, but I don’t recall very well.
ON HIATUS – Stump the Bookseller

This sounds like ‘Tom and Sam’ by Pat Hutchins, first published 1969.
Ann! I think that might be the one! No wonder the more popular Rosie’s Walk seemed so familiar when I first started seeing it about ten years ago at the homes of nieces and nephews! Now to find it on Amazon! Thank you thank you!
