**This is the Worst Donald Duck cartoon ever.** As you know I'm a big fan of Donald Duck cartoons. If there's one Disney cartoon I would like to forget, it's Donald's Garden 1942. Seriously Donald Duck gets attacked by the annoying gopher who outsmarts him and literally ties him down with watermelon vines and then binge eats his entire garden and it ends on a cliffhanger which made me mad. This cartoon is very insensitive for people with eating disorders. This is the worst Disney cartoon short I've ever seen. Donald Duck should've been the one who wins not that annoying gopher bully who I hate in the cartoon. This cartoon deserves a Razzie award for worst cartoon short of all time right next to Uncle Donalds Ants. Do yourself a favor and skip this crummy Donald Duck cartoon short and watch The Clock Watcher 1945 instead and forget this cartoon was ever made, I hope this doesn't end up on Disney+ which I refuse to watch.

Donald needs a log for his fire. Unfortunately, the one he picks is occupied by a couple of chipmunks and their stash of acorns.

Donald, of course, takes this as calmly and cheerfully as you would expect.
Mickey's going golfing, and Pluto is his caddy. Besides the usual caddy duties, Pluto runs to the ball and points to it.
