THAT TVOKIDS SHOW
In the TVOkids tree fort, Matt has shoulder length dark hair. He wears a pink and blue tie-dye t-shirt, blue overalls, a straw hat and gardening gloves. Laura wears an orange and white stripped shirt, black overalls, a straw hat and gardening gloves with her long brown hair down.
Matt stands at a tall table with three pots of soil. With his finger Matt digs in one of the pots. Laura rests on the tree fort bench against mountain pillows. She holds a gardening trowel.
Matt hums to himself. Laura yawns.
Matt says, HEY, LAURA?
Laura says, UM HM?
Matt says, I THINK YOUR UH, I THINK YOUR SNAP PEAS AND YOUR
CARROTS AND YOUR, ALL YOUR VEGGIES ARE
PROBABLY READY FOR HARVEST.

Laura says, YEAH, UM, YOU KNOW WHAT
I, I THINK I’M GONNA DO THAT LATER.
YEAH, I WAS KINDA JUST GONNA

Laura yawns.
Matt says, OKAY, WELL YOU DON’T WANNA
WAIT TOO LONG.
IF YOU, IF YOU DON'T DO IT NOW YOU’LL

BAD.
Laura says, YEAH, I KNOW.
I JUST, THERE WAS A COUPLE OTHER
THINGS I WANTED TO DO FIRST, YOU

JUST SIT DOWN FOR A LITTLE
WHILE.
I MEAN HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY’RE
READY TO HARVEST ANYWAYS?
Matt says, I MEAN, WELL, EVERY VEGGIE IS
DIFFERENT BUT UH…
Matt takes off his gardening gloves and picks up an iPad.
Matt says, IT SAYS HERE THAT
SNAP PEAS ARE READY WHEN THE
PODS BREAK OFF EASILY WITH A
SNAP.
AND YOU’LL KNOW CARROTS ARE READY
WHEN THEY ARE VIBRANT IN COLOUR
AND THE TOP IS 2 CENTIMETRES
TO 2.5 CENTIMETRES WIDE.
OKAY, YOU SHOULD, YOU SHOULD REALLY
GO HARVEST THEM.
I THINK I SAW THERE WAS SOME
BROCCOLI, AND SOME CORN, AND…
Laura says, YEAH, NO, I’M GONNA DO IT LATER.
I JUST, YOU KNOW.
(Evil laughter)
(Thunder rumbles)
Matt and Laura look around the tree fort. Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky. Matt and Laura turn to the sky.
Dr. Thesaurus says, SO YOU WANT TO HARVEST VEGGIES,
HUH?
DELICIOUSLY BOUNTIFUL, LUSCIOUSLY
RIPE, WHOLESOMELY RAW VEGGIES?
WELL, THINK AGAIN.
BECAUSE UNLESS YOU CAN COME UP
WITH THE DAY'S WORD I’LL BE

HARVESTING THEIR POWERFUL POTENT
ENERGY TO TAKE OVER THE PLANET.
YOU HAVE T-MINUS TEN MINUTES.

THE FOREVERY FATE OF THE UNIVERSE
IS IN YOUR HANDS
AND IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD.
(Evil laughter)
(Coughing)
(Evil laughter)
Dr. Thesaurus says, GOOD-BYE, GARDEN
GOBLINS.
Dr. Thesaurus turns to leave.
Matt says, WOAH.
Laura says, OH, NO!
Dr. Thesaurus disappears from the sky.
Matt says, A SYNONYM…
Laura says, THIS GUY JUST KEEPS COMING BACK.
Matt says, I KNOW AND,
HE’S EVILER EVERY TIME.
A SYNONYM FOR DELAY THAT HAS THE
LETTERS A, T AND E IN IT OR Dr. T

VEGETABLES!
Laura says, OH NO!
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING OFF
THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
(Frog horn)
Matt says, OH GOSH, ME NEITHER.
WELL UH, I’M GONNA GET
THE CALL.
Laura says, YEAH.
(Frog horn)
Laura says, HMM.
Matt says, OH NO.
Laura says, SYNONYM…
Matt picks up a pair of headphones. He holds them up to his ear and types on the keyboard of the frog horn.
Matt says, HEY, CALLER.
Laura says, …FOR DELAY…
(Frog horn)
Matt asks, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
Matt presses an orange button.
A young voice says, HI, MY NAME IS EMILY.
Matt says, HI, EMLY.
WHAT'S THE PASSWORD TODAY?
Emily says, ROOT.
Matt says, THAT'S RIGHT.
PUTTING YOU IN THE SKY.
Matt types on the keyboard with one hand. Emily appears in the sky. Emily wears her dark hair in braided pig tails.
(Clapping)
Laura turns and waves at Emily.
Laura says, HEY, EMILY.
Emily says, HI.
Laura says, WELCOME TO THE FORT.
HOW'S IT GOING?
Emily is 5 years old.
Emily says, GOOD.
Laura says, AMAZING.
WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, UM
WE ARE TRYING TO
HARVEST SOME VEGGIES TODAY.
DO YOU LIKE VEGGIES?
Emily says, YES.
Laura asks, WHICH ONES ARE YOUR
FAVOURITE?
Emily says, UM, CUCUMBERS AND TOMATOES.
Matt and Laura gasp.
Matt says, HMMM.
Laura says, YES! I LOVE THOSE ONES,
TOO.
Matt says, CUCUMBERS AND
TOMATOES!
UH, IF YOU WERE A VEGGIE
Laura laughs.
Matt asks, WHAT
KIND OF VEGGIE WOULD YOU BE?
Emily says, UM, A TOMATO?
Matt laughs.
Laura says, YES!
Matt says, NICE!
Laura says, GOOD ANSWER.
OKAY.
CAN YOU DO A QUICK IMPRESSION OF
A TOMATO?
Emily says, UH, YES.
Emily tilts her head and smiles.
Laura says, YES!
Matt laughs.
He says, I CAN!
Matt squats, puffs out his cheeks and holds his arms over his head in a circle. Laura laughs. She points at Matt.
Laura says, GOOD TOMATO!
Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY, EMILY, HOW ‘BOUT WE SHOW
YOU SOME CUTE VIDEOS.
At the same time Laura speaks, Emily stretches her arms up like Matt, and Matt says, NICE!
Laura asks, DOES THAT SOUND GOOD?
Emily says, YEAH.
Laura says, OKAY, CHECK IT OUT.
HERE’S THE CHAMPION.
A male announcer says, CHAMPION!
A white rat nibbles a peach.
Laura says, OKAY, LOOK!
IT'S A RAT EATING A PEACH!
Matt says, A LITTLE, LITTLE RAT WITH
LITTLE, LITTLE TEETH TAKING
LITTLE NIBBLES ON A PEACH.
OKAY.
EMILY, HOW CUTE IS THAT TO YOU
OUT OF 10?
Emily says UH.
Emily looks beside her.
Emily says, IT'S 10.
Matt and Laura both say, 10 OUTTA 10!
At the same time Laura says WOAH! Matt says, OKAY!
Matt says, THAT IS A HIGH SCORE.
THAT IS A HARD SCORE TO BEAT.
LET'S SEE THE CHALLENGER.
The announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A hedgehog is surrounded by tomatoes. It sniffs a tomato. Laura gasps.
Laura says, I LOVE THIS ONE!
Matt says, A LITTLE HEDGEHOG…
Laura says, I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!
Matt says, SURROUNDED BY A
BEAUTIFUL BOUNTY OF FRUITS AND
VEGGIES.
UH, I WOULD LIKE TO BE A HEDGEHOG
LIKE THAT.
Laura says, ME, TOO.
Matt says, EMILY, HOW CUTE IS THIS TO YOU
OUT OF 10?
Emily says, HMM, 7.
Matt says, 7! 7 OUT OF 10.
Laura says, OKAY, WHICH ONE IS YOUR
FAVOURITE?
THE RAT WITH THE PEACH OR THE
HEDGEHOG?
Emily says, UM, THE RAT.
Matt laughs.
At the same time, Matt and Laura shout, THE RAT!
Matt laughs.
Laura says, OH MY GOODNESS!
Matt says, THE RAT WITH THE
PEACH REMAINS THE CHAMPION.
EMILY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING
IN THE SKY TODAY AND TVOKIDS,
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME AND
HELP US CHOOSE THE CHAMPION, GET A
GROWNUP TO CALL THE NUMBER ON
THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU,
WE’D LOVE TO HAVE YOUR HELP.
EMILY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HELPING US OUT WITH THAT TODAY.
Laura waves to Emily.
She says, BYE, EMILY!
Emily says, BYE.
Matt says, I HOPE YOU HAVE LOTS OF
CUCUMBERS AND TOMATOES.
Laura says, SEE YOU LATER.
Matt waves to Emily. Emily starts to disappear from the sky.
Emily says, BYE.
Matt and Laura let out a big sigh.
Laura says, OKAY.
THAT WAS AWESOME.
BUT WE STILL NEED TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT THIS WORD IS.
Text shows ten missing letters before the letters A, T and E.
Matt says, OH, YOU’RE RIGHT
BECAUSE IF DR. T TAKES OVER
ALL THE WORLD’S VEGETABLES, THEY’LL
HAVE ALL THE VEGETABLES IN
THE WORLD AND…OKAY I THINK
YOU NEED TO GO TO THE GARDEN AND,
AND HARVEST THEM BEFORE WE RUN OUT.
Laura says, WELL, UM, HOW ABOUT I
ACTUALLY DO THAT LATER?
BECAUSE WELL
WHY DON'T WE DO SOMETHING ELSE
FIRST LIKE UH…
Matt says, I DON’T THINK THAT’S A GOOD IDEA.
Laura says, OH, I KNOW, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
VEGGIES BUT WE COULD ALSO TALK ABOUT FRUIT.
AFTER ALL IT IS PEACH SEASON AND I WENT TO
AN AMAZING PEACH FARM.
CHECK IT OUT.
A sign reads, Two Century Farm, 1787, The Smiths. Laura carries a basket as she walks beside a woman between rows of peach trees.
Laura says, WHAT'S UP, TVOKIDS?
YOU ARE HANGING OUT WITH LAURA
AND JILLIAN.
I AM AT THE SMITH TWO CENTURY
FARM AND I AM READY TO LEARN ALL
ABOUT PEACHES.
HOW'S IT GOING, JILLIAN?
Jillian says, GOOD, LAURA.
HOW ARE YOU?
Laura says, I AM SO GOOD,
I’M SO EXCITED TO
BE HERE.
BUT BEFORE WE GET INTO IT I’M
GETTING SOME REALLY HISTORICAL
FEELINGS FROM OUT HERE, IT FEELS REALLY
OLD.
IS THAT TRUE?
Jillian says, IT IS.
IT’S OVER 200-YEARS OLD IF YOU
CAN BELIEVE IT.
Laura says, OVER 200-YEARS OLD!
SO WHAT YEAR?
Jillian says, KING GEORGE, BACK IN 1787
GAVE THIS LAND TO OUR FAMILY.
MY ANCESTORS EZEKIEL AND RACHEL
SMITH.
Text reads, Gillian.
Laura says, WOW.
Jillian says, YEAH, SO WE HAD
THE LAND FROM THE
ESCARPMENT BEHIND US ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO THE LAKE.
Laura says, OKAY, SO, 1787 THAT'S A LONG
TIME AGO.
HOW MANY GENERATIONS IS THAT?
Jillian says, 7th GENERATIONS.
SO I’M THE SEVENTH GENERATION OF
FARMERS ON THIS FARM.
Laura says, THAT IS WILD.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FATHOM THAT MANY
GENERATIONS THAT THIS IS FARM HAS BEEN
IN YOUR FAMILY.
SO COOL.
OKAY, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.
WHEN I THINK OF PEACHES I THINK
OF LIKE, GEORGIA, THE SOUTH, WHERE IT'S
REALLY, REALLY HOT.
HOW ARE PEACHES GROWN IN
ONTARIO?
Jillian says, IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY COOL
LITTLE MICROCLIMATE IN THIS AREA
BECAUSE WE HAVE GOT THE
ESCARPMENT BEHIND US AND THE
LAKE, UH, IN FRONT OF US.
Laura says, COOL.
THE ESCARPMENT.
H'MM.
Jillian says, YEAH, SO THE ESCARPMENT IS THAT
KINDA LITTLE MOUNTAIN HILL BEHIND US AND
UH, IT KEEPS THIS AREA COOL IN THE
SUMMER AND WARM IN THE FALL.
WHICH MEANS IT'S GREAT FOR
PEACHES.
Laura says, OKAY, SO
JILLIAN, NOW THAT I’VE LEARNED
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THESE
PEACHES ARE GROWN UH, CAN I GO PICK
SOME NOW?
Jillian says, ABSOLUTELY.
MY COUSIN SIGNY WILL TAKE YOU
AROUND AND SHOW YOU HOW TO PICK
SOME PEACHES.
Laura says, LET'S DO IT.
Laura stands by a peach tree with a woman with long brown hair.
Laura says, OKAY, SO IF I DO WANNA PICK A PEACH,
LIKE, HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT'S EVEN
READY TO BE PICKED?
Text reads, SIGNY.
Signy says, WELL, IT’S KIND OF TRICKY BECAUSE
THE PEACHES RIPEN AT DIFFERENT
TIMES DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY
ARE ON THE TREE .
Laura says, OKAY.
Signy says, DEPENDING ON
THEIR EXPOSURE TO THE SUN AND
RAIN AND OTHER ELEMENTS.
SO YOU KIND OF HAVE TO FEEL AROUND
FOR THE RIGHT PEACH.
JUST GIVE THE PEACHES A LITTLE FEEL.
Laura says, OKAY.
Signy says, IF THEY’RE SOFT TO THE TOUCH
THEY SHOULD BE READY TO PICK.
Laura says, ALRIGHT.
Laura feels different peaches on the tree.
Signy says, USUALLY THE ONES UP HIGH RIPEN
FIRST BECAUSE OF THE SUN.
Laura gasps.
Laura says, OKAY, FOUND ONE!
THIS ONE IS A BIT SOFT.
Signy says, AWESOME.
Laura asks, NOW WHAT DO I DO?
Signy says, SO JUST TWIST IT WITH THE FLICK
OF YOUR WRIST.
Laura says, OKAY.
Laura twists a peach hanging on a branch.
Signy says, AND IT SHOULD COME OFF PRETTY
EASILY.
Laura gasps.
Signy says, THERE YOU GO!
Laura says, I GOT IT!
I PICKED MY OWN PEACH.
OKAY.
BEFORE I TAKE A BITE, WHAT KIND OF
PEACH IS THIS?
Signy says, SO THIS ONES A RED HAVEN.
Laura says, OKAY.
Signy says, IT’S A FREE STONE PEACH WHICH MEANS
THE FLESH ACTUALLY COMES CLEAN
OFF THE PIT WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP.
Laura gasps.
Signy says, WHICH MAKES IT REALLY EASY TO
EAT AND THEY’RE SUPER SWEET SO
I’M EXCITED FOR TO YOU TRY IT.
Laura says, OH AND I LOVE A SWEET PEACH SO,
TVOKIDS, CHECK IT OUT,
THE PERFECT PEACH.
Laura takes a bite of the peach. She looks happy.
She says, HMMM!
Signy smiles.
Laura says, OKAY, THAT IS AMAZING.
Laura holds out the peach with a bite missing and laughs.
Laura says, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING ME
AROUND THE SMITH TWO CENTURY
FARM.
Laura stands between Jillian and Signy holding a basket of peaches.
Jillian says, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.
WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME.
Signy says, IT WAS SO GREAT TO MEET YOU, THANK YOU.
Laura says, NICE TO MEET YOU GUYS TOO!
YEAH I HAD SO MUCH FUN.
AND HEY, THANKS FOR THE PEACHES.
I’M GONNA GO BAKE A PIE NOW.
SEE YA LATER!
Signy says, AWESOME.
ENJOY!
Signy waves as Laura leaves.
Signy says, BYE!
A female voice says, MEANWHILE…
A male voice joins the female voice and together they say, IN THE GARDEN…
(Sigh)
Planted in a garden beside a trowel, are a piece of broccoli and a cob of corn. The corn wears a tie.
The broccoli with the female voice says, WHERE IS LAURA?
IT WAS READY TO BE HARVESTED
LIKE YESTERDAY.
I MEAN I’M BRIGHT GREEN AND SUPER
FRESH.
THE PERFECT SIZE.
SHE BETTER HURRY BEFORE MY HEAD
FLOWERS.
The corn with the male voice says, TELL ME ABOUT IT.
I’M BUSTING OUT OF MY HUSKS
OVER HERE.
The broccoli sighs.
It says, IT’S BETTING, IT’S GETTING A BIT CROWDED IN THIS
GARDEN, TOO.
I’M KIND OF OVER IT TO BE
HONEST.
The corn says, SAME.
I‘M READY TO GET OUT OF THIS
GARDEN AND INTO THE REAL WORLD.
I CAN'T WAIT TO LIVE OUT MY
DESTINY AS A BACKYARD BARBECUE
APP, OR BETTER YET, A MOVIE
THEATRE SNACK.
The broccoli laughs.
The broccoli says, DREAM BIG, RIGHT?
The corn asks, NOW, WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
The broccoli says, NOTHING.
IT’S JUST… MOVIE THEATRE SNACK,
IS JUST CUTE.
The corn says, CUTE?
The broccoli says, YEAH, I MEAN, AS A BROCCOLI I
JUST HAVE BIGGER PLANS YOU KNOW.
LIKE I’M REALLY GONNA MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
I’M DESTINED TO BE A PERFECTLY
SEASONED SIDE AT A MICHELIN STAR
RESTAURANT OR THE MAIN INGREDIENT
IN A CELEBRITY CHEFS SIGNATURE SOUP.
The corn says, OH I SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE!
The corn turns and looks at the broccoli.
The corn says, YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN
ME?
The broccoli says, YOU KNOW WHAT?
YEAH. YEAH I DO.
The corn gasps and says, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!
The broccoli says, WELL, YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IT
BECAUSE I’M THE BETTER VEGETABLE.
WE ALL KNEW IT.
The corn says, WELL WHAT MAKES YOU BETTER THAN
ME?
Speaking over top of each other, the vegetables argue
The corn says, I AM SWEET AND DELECTABLE.
The broccoli says, WELL LOOK IT,
I’M A BROCCOLI, OF COURSE I’M BETTER.
I’M ALWAYS THE BETTER…
The corn says, I AM MUCH MORE VERSATILE.
The broccoli says, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO SOLVE
THIS.
The corn says, WELL, WHAT IS IT?
The broccoli says, A VEGGIE ELECTION.
The corn says, GOOD PLAN.
WHAT'S THAT?
The broccoli is THAT MEANS WE’RE GONNA HAVE A
VOTE TO SEE WHO IS THE MAYOR OF
THE GARDEN.
The corn says, WELL I THINK
IT’S GONNA BE ME.
The broccoli says, AND I’M JUST GONNA…
The broccoli grabs a pencil and a piece of paper. Compared to the broccoli, the pencil and the paper are huge.
The broccoli says, …LEAVE A NOTE FOR LAURA SO
THAT SHE TELLS ALL THE TVOKIDS
THAT THERE’S GONNA BE A
VEGGIE ELECTION ON SEPTEMBER 20th.
The corn says, SEE YOU SOON, SOON TO BE LOSER
OF THE GARDEN.
The corn chuckles.
The broccoli looks annoyed.
A young girl in a blue shirt wearing blue sunglasses stands outside by a garden.
She says HI, I AM LAUREN AND I’M GONNA
TAKE YOU A TOUR OF MY NONNO NINO'S
GARDEN.
(Cheerful music plays)
Lauren walks into the garden. A man works in the garden. Lauren walks through rows of tomato plants.
Lauren says, THERE’S SOME TEENSY TINY TOMATOES.
Small green tomatoes hang from vines.
Lauren says, THESE ARE TOMATOES.
THESE ARE TOMATOES.
THESE ARE TOMATOES.
AND THESE ARE ALSO TOMATOES.
MY NONNO LOVES TO PLANT
TOMATOES.
Lauren holds a tomato still attached to the plant. The man crouches beside her.
The man says, JUST, JUST TWIST IT.
Lauren twists the tomato and gives it a small tug. It comes off the plant.
The man says, THERE YOU GO.
The man wears a shirt with text that says World’s Best Nonno.
He says, HMM, THEY’RE GOOD.
Lauren’s Nonno takes a bite of a tomato while Lauren works on twisting off a tomato from a vine.
Lauren says, THERE ARE SOME LETTUCE LEAVES
OVER HERE.
Lauren touches two large hanging plants.
She says, OH, THEY FEEL HAIRY.
EW.
Lauren wipes her hands on her shorts.
In another part of the garden, Lauren says, THERE’S SOME, ZUCCHINIS OVER
HERE.
Lauren displays zucchini plants.
Lauren says, SEE ONE DOWN THERE?
Lauren watches her Nonno take a zucchini from its plant.
Her Nonno says, THERE WE GO.
[indiscernible]
HA HA HA
In front of the zucchini plants, Lauren holds a slice of bread in one hand and a zucchini in the other.
Lauren says, NONNO’S ZUCCHINI.
Lauren holds up the zucchini.
She says, NONNO’S ZUCCHINI BREAD.
Lauren holds up the zucchini bread then takes a bite. She walks through the garden.
Lauren says, OVER HERE ARE SOME GREEN BEANS.
YOU CAN SEE OVER HERE.
Lauren moves some of a green beans plants leaves to display the green beans. In another part of the garden, her Nonno reaches over a plant.
He says, I’M PICKING UP A, THE PEPPER’S.
REMEMBER THE ONE YOU WERE TRYING TO?
Lauren says, YEAH!
Her Nonno says, YES.
Lauren holds up a big light green pepper.
She says, ‘K GUYS WE’VE PICKED THE
BIG PEPPER, HERE IT IS.
The pepper has a bend in the middle and is long. Lauren stands near a dirt patch in the garden.
Lauren says, ALL OF LIKE, ALL OF THIS USED TO BE FILLED
WITH UM, GARLIC BUT WE PULLED LIKE
ALL OF THIS LAST WEEK.
In a video, Lauren wears gardening gloves and pulls garlic out of the ground.
Meanwhile, Lauren displays another plant.
Lauren says, YOU MIGHT THINK THESE ARE LEEKS
BUT THESE ARE ONIONS.
YOU GUYS MIGHT KNOW, NOT KNOW WHAT
THESE ARE.
THESE ARE CARROTS.
At another plant in the garden, Lauren says, THESE LEAVES SMELL LIKE,
UM, LEMONS.
SO IF YOU PICK ONE…
Lauren picks a leaf off the plant.
She says, …AND RUB IT A LITTLE BIT.
Lauren rubs the leaf between her thumb and index finger then smells it. Lauren holds out her hands with the leaf in the middle. She blows the leaf off her hands. Lauren stands at a stone sign that reads, Nonno Nino’s Garden.
Lauren says, OKAY GUYS,
THAT WAS THE TOUR OF MY NONNO NINO’S
GARDEN.
SEE YOU SOON.
BYE!
Lauren waves. Back in the tree fort, Matt lets out a breath of air.
Laura says, WELL, WE COULDN'T THINK OF
THE WORD SO I GUESS THAT MEANS
DR. T WINS THIS ONE.
Matt says, YOU KNOW LAURA, I DON'T WANT
TO MAKE YOU FEEL WORSE BUT IF
YOU HAVEN'T PROCRASTINATED ALL
DAY WE’D HAVE SOME VEGGIES
NOW AT LEAST TO HAVE FOR DINNER.
(Thunder rumbles)
Laura says, WAIT, WHAT WORD DID YOU SAY?
I SAID PROCRASTINATE IT MEANS TO
DELAY OR PUT SOMETHING OFF.
(Thunder rumbles)
Laura says, MATT, THAT'S IT!
THAT’S THE WORD!
PROCRASTINATE!
Text reads, Procrastinate.
Mat gasps. He grabs his hat
Laura says, WE DID IT!
Matt says, WE SOLVED THE WORD!
Laura says, OKAY!
I’M GONNA GO GET
OUR VEGGIES RIGHT NOW
FROM THE GARDEN!
Matt then says, OKAY, OKAY, GO, QUICK!
Laura says, THIS IS AMAZING.
Laura leaves the tree fort.
Matt says, OKAY!
BYE!
YES, WE DID IT!
WE SOLVED THE WORD!
OKAY!
Dr. Thesaurus grunts.
He says, NO!
Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky. Matt looks worried.
He says, YOU, TVOKIDS HOSTS HAVE DONE IT
AGAIN.
ALWAYS SOLVING MY WORDS PUZZLES AT THE
LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT.
I’M HUMILIATED, CRUSHED, PUT TO SHAME.
PUT TO SHAME OH, SHAME BUT YOU GET TO
KEEP YOUR VEGGIES AND YOUR TREE
FORT TODAY.
BUT I’LL BE BACK.
TOMORROW!
WITH A VEGGIE VENGEANCE!
Dr. Thesaurus looks determined. He disappears from the sky.
Matt waves and says, BYE, TVOKIDS.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAH, HANGING OUT
WITH US TODAY.
OH, MAN.
DT. T, HE TRIED TO TAKE ALL
THE VEGGIES, BUT GUESS, WHAT HE
WAS FOILED BY US ONCE AGAIN.
WE FOUND OUT THE WORD.
NOW LET'S CHECK IN WITH LAURA IN
THE GARDEN.
In the garden, Laura holds a basket with broccoli and corn in it. She holds a head of broccoli and lets out a sigh.
Laura says, CHECK IT OUT, TVOKIDS.
Laura places the broccoli to her basket.
She says, I DID GET MY VEGGIES.
Laura adds carrots to her basket.
She says, WHICH IS
AMAZING AND, HEY, WHAT'S THIS?
Laura picks up a piece of paper.
Laura says, LOOKS LIKE A NOTE WAS LEFT?
DEAR LAURA.
THERE WILL BE A VEGGIE ELECTION
FOR MAYOR OF THE GARDEN
SEPTEMBER 20th?
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND GO TO
TVOKIDS.COM TO FIND OUT MORE.

Text reads, tvokids.com
Laura says, HUH?
Laura grabs broccoli from her basket. She holds it up and looks at it.
She says, WHAT?
Laura looks confused.
(Upbeat music plays)
“That TVOKids Show”
Laura’s dark shoulder-length bob and bangs bounce as she runs. She wears a bright purple tee shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.
They are both in their twenties.
Lucas and Laura sing an upbeat song as they run over a bridge. They carefully balance on a fallen log as they cross over a creek. They duck under a wooden bridge as someone walks over it. Laura and Lucas smile as they run down stairs.
(Upbeat music plays)
Lucas and Laura sing.

Lucas grabs a rope ladder.
Lucas and Laura sing, LA, LA, LA, LA
DO, DO, DO, DO
An animated map unfolds, showing a path from houses to the tree fort.
Lucas and Laura sing, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH
THAT TVOKIDS SHOW
In the TVOkids tree fort, Matt has shoulder length dark hair. He wears a pink and blue tie-dye t-shirt, blue overalls, a straw hat and gardening gloves. Laura wears an orange and white stripped shirt, black overalls, a straw hat and gardening gloves with her long brown hair down.
Matt stands at a tall table with three pots of soil. With his finger Matt digs in one of the pots. Laura rests on the tree fort bench against mountain pillows. She holds a gardening trowel.
Matt hums to himself. Laura yawns.
Matt says, HEY, LAURA?
Laura says, UM HM?
Matt says, I THINK YOUR UH, I THINK YOUR SNAP PEAS AND YOUR
CARROTS AND YOUR, ALL YOUR VEGGIES ARE
PROBABLY READY FOR HARVEST.

WHILE.
I MEAN HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY’RE

Matt says, I MEAN, WELL, EVERY VEGGIE IS
DIFFERENT BUT UH…
Matt takes off his gardening gloves and picks up an iPad.
Matt says, IT SAYS HERE THAT
SNAP PEAS ARE READY WHEN THE
PODS BREAK OFF EASILY WITH A
SNAP.
AND YOU’LL KNOW CARROTS ARE READY
WHEN THEY ARE VIBRANT IN COLOUR
AND THE TOP IS 2 CENTIMETRES
TO 2.5 CENTIMETRES WIDE.
OKAY, YOU SHOULD, YOU SHOULD REALLY

I THINK I SAW THERE WAS SOME
BROCCOLI, AND SOME CORN, AND…
Laura says, YEAH, NO, I’M GONNA DO IT LATER.
I JUST, YOU KNOW.
(Evil laughter)
(Thunder rumbles)
Matt and Laura look around the tree fort. Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky. Matt and Laura turn to the sky.
Dr. Thesaurus says, SO YOU WANT TO HARVEST VEGGIES,
HUH?
DELICIOUSLY BOUNTIFUL, LUSCIOUSLY
RIPE, WHOLESOMELY RAW VEGGIES?
WELL, THINK AGAIN.
BECAUSE UNLESS YOU CAN COME UP

ENERGY TO TAKE OVER THE PLANET.

(Evil laughter)
(Coughing)
(Evil laughter)
Dr. Thesaurus says, GOOD-BYE, GARDEN

Dr. Thesaurus turns to leave.
Matt says, WOAH.
Laura says, OH, NO!
Dr. Thesaurus disappears from the sky.
Matt says, A SYNONYM…
Laura says, THIS GUY JUST KEEPS COMING BACK.
Matt says, I KNOW AND,
HE’S EVILER EVERY TIME.
A SYNONYM FOR DELAY THAT HAS THE
LETTERS A, T AND E IN IT OR Dr. T
IS GONNA STEAL ALL THE WORLD'S
VEGETABLES!
Laura says, OH NO!
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING OFF
THE TOP OF MY HEAD.
(Frog horn)
Matt says, OH GOSH, ME NEITHER.
WELL UH, I’M GONNA GET
THE CALL.
Laura says, YEAH.
(Frog horn)
Laura says, HMM.
Matt says, OH NO.
Laura says, SYNONYM…
Matt picks up a pair of headphones. He holds them up to his ear and types on the keyboard of the frog horn.
Matt says, HEY, CALLER.
Laura says, …FOR DELAY…
(Frog horn)
Matt asks, WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
Matt presses an orange button.
A young voice says, HI, MY NAME IS EMILY.
Matt says, HI, EMLY.
WHAT'S THE PASSWORD TODAY?
Emily says, ROOT.
Matt says, THAT'S RIGHT.
PUTTING YOU IN THE SKY.
Matt types on the keyboard with one hand. Emily appears in the sky. Emily wears her dark hair in braided pig tails.
(Clapping)
Laura turns and waves at Emily.
Laura says, HEY, EMILY.
Emily says, HI.
Laura says, WELCOME TO THE FORT.
HOW'S IT GOING?
Emily is 5 years old.
Emily says, GOOD.
Laura says, AMAZING.
WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, UM
WE ARE TRYING TO
HARVEST SOME VEGGIES TODAY.
DO YOU LIKE VEGGIES?
Emily says, YES.
Laura asks, WHICH ONES ARE YOUR
FAVOURITE?
Emily says, UM, CUCUMBERS AND TOMATOES.
Matt and Laura gasp.
Matt says, HMMM.
Laura says, YES! I LOVE THOSE ONES,
TOO.
Matt says, CUCUMBERS AND
TOMATOES!
UH, IF YOU WERE A VEGGIE
Laura laughs.
Matt asks, WHAT
KIND OF VEGGIE WOULD YOU BE?
Emily says, UM, A TOMATO?
Matt laughs.
Laura says, YES!
Matt says, NICE!
Laura says, GOOD ANSWER.
OKAY.
CAN YOU DO A QUICK IMPRESSION OF
A TOMATO?
Emily says, UH, YES.
Emily tilts her head and smiles.
Laura says, YES!
Matt laughs.
He says, I CAN!
Matt squats, puffs out his cheeks and holds his arms over his head in a circle. Laura laughs. She points at Matt.
Laura says, GOOD TOMATO!
Matt laughs.
Laura says, OKAY, EMILY, HOW ‘BOUT WE SHOW
YOU SOME CUTE VIDEOS.
At the same time Laura speaks, Emily stretches her arms up like Matt, and Matt says, NICE!
Laura asks, DOES THAT SOUND GOOD?
Emily says, YEAH.
Laura says, OKAY, CHECK IT OUT.
HERE’S THE CHAMPION.
A male announcer says, CHAMPION!
A white rat nibbles a peach.
Laura says, OKAY, LOOK!
IT'S A RAT EATING A PEACH!
Matt says, A LITTLE, LITTLE RAT WITH
LITTLE, LITTLE TEETH TAKING
LITTLE NIBBLES ON A PEACH.
OKAY.
EMILY, HOW CUTE IS THAT TO YOU
OUT OF 10?
Emily says UH.
Emily looks beside her.
Emily says, IT'S 10.
Matt and Laura both say, 10 OUTTA 10!
At the same time Laura says WOAH! Matt says, OKAY!
Matt says, THAT IS A HIGH SCORE.
THAT IS A HARD SCORE TO BEAT.
LET'S SEE THE CHALLENGER.
The announcer says, CHALLENGER!
A hedgehog is surrounded by tomatoes. It sniffs a tomato. Laura gasps.
Laura says, I LOVE THIS ONE!
Matt says, A LITTLE HEDGEHOG…
Laura says, I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!
Matt says, SURROUNDED BY A
BEAUTIFUL BOUNTY OF FRUITS AND
VEGGIES.
UH, I WOULD LIKE TO BE A HEDGEHOG
LIKE THAT.
Laura says, ME, TOO.
Matt says, EMILY, HOW CUTE IS THIS TO YOU
OUT OF 10?
Emily says, HMM, 7.
Matt says, 7! 7 OUT OF 10.
Laura says, OKAY, WHICH ONE IS YOUR
FAVOURITE?
THE RAT WITH THE PEACH OR THE
HEDGEHOG?
Emily says, UM, THE RAT.
Matt laughs.
At the same time, Matt and Laura shout, THE RAT!
Matt laughs.
Laura says, OH MY GOODNESS!
Matt says, THE RAT WITH THE
PEACH REMAINS THE CHAMPION.
EMILY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING
IN THE SKY TODAY AND TVOKIDS,
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME AND
HELP US CHOOSE THE CHAMPION, GET A
GROWNUP TO CALL THE NUMBER ON
THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU,
WE’D LOVE TO HAVE YOUR HELP.
EMILY, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
HELPING US OUT WITH THAT TODAY.
Laura waves to Emily.
She says, BYE, EMILY!
Emily says, BYE.
Matt says, I HOPE YOU HAVE LOTS OF
CUCUMBERS AND TOMATOES.
Laura says, SEE YOU LATER.
Matt waves to Emily. Emily starts to disappear from the sky.
Emily says, BYE.
Matt and Laura let out a big sigh.
Laura says, OKAY.
THAT WAS AWESOME.
BUT WE STILL NEED TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT THIS WORD IS.
Text shows ten missing letters before the letters A, T and E.
Matt says, OH, YOU’RE RIGHT
BECAUSE IF DR. T TAKES OVER
ALL THE WORLD’S VEGETABLES, THEY’LL
HAVE ALL THE VEGETABLES IN
THE WORLD AND…OKAY I THINK
YOU NEED TO GO TO THE GARDEN AND,
AND HARVEST THEM BEFORE WE RUN OUT.
Laura says, WELL, UM, HOW ABOUT I
ACTUALLY DO THAT LATER?
BECAUSE WELL
WHY DON'T WE DO SOMETHING ELSE
FIRST LIKE UH…
Matt says, I DON’T THINK THAT’S A GOOD IDEA.
Laura says, OH, I KNOW, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
VEGGIES BUT WE COULD ALSO TALK ABOUT FRUIT.
AFTER ALL IT IS PEACH SEASON AND I WENT TO
AN AMAZING PEACH FARM.
CHECK IT OUT.
A sign reads, Two Century Farm, 1787, The Smiths. Laura carries a basket as she walks beside a woman between rows of peach trees.
Laura says, WHAT'S UP, TVOKIDS?
YOU ARE HANGING OUT WITH LAURA
AND JILLIAN.
I AM AT THE SMITH TWO CENTURY
FARM AND I AM READY TO LEARN ALL
ABOUT PEACHES.
HOW'S IT GOING, JILLIAN?
Jillian says, GOOD, LAURA.
HOW ARE YOU?
Laura says, I AM SO GOOD,
I’M SO EXCITED TO
BE HERE.
BUT BEFORE WE GET INTO IT I’M
GETTING SOME REALLY HISTORICAL
FEELINGS FROM OUT HERE, IT FEELS REALLY
OLD.
IS THAT TRUE?
Jillian says, IT IS.
IT’S OVER 200-YEARS OLD IF YOU
CAN BELIEVE IT.
Laura says, OVER 200-YEARS OLD!
SO WHAT YEAR?
Jillian says, KING GEORGE, BACK IN 1787
GAVE THIS LAND TO OUR FAMILY.
MY ANCESTORS EZEKIEL AND RACHEL
SMITH.
Text reads, Gillian.
Laura says, WOW.
Jillian says, YEAH, SO WE HAD
THE LAND FROM THE
ESCARPMENT BEHIND US ALL THE WAY
DOWN TO THE LAKE.
Laura says, OKAY, SO, 1787 THAT'S A LONG
TIME AGO.
HOW MANY GENERATIONS IS THAT?
Jillian says, 7th GENERATIONS.
SO I’M THE SEVENTH GENERATION OF
FARMERS ON THIS FARM.
Laura says, THAT IS WILD.
IT'S KIND OF HARD TO FATHOM THAT MANY
GENERATIONS THAT THIS IS FARM HAS BEEN
IN YOUR FAMILY.
SO COOL.
OKAY, I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.
WHEN I THINK OF PEACHES I THINK
OF LIKE, GEORGIA, THE SOUTH, WHERE IT'S
REALLY, REALLY HOT.
HOW ARE PEACHES GROWN IN
ONTARIO?
Jillian says, IT'S ACTUALLY A REALLY COOL
LITTLE MICROCLIMATE IN THIS AREA
BECAUSE WE HAVE GOT THE
ESCARPMENT BEHIND US AND THE
LAKE, UH, IN FRONT OF US.
Laura says, COOL.
THE ESCARPMENT.
H'MM.
Jillian says, YEAH, SO THE ESCARPMENT IS THAT
KINDA LITTLE MOUNTAIN HILL BEHIND US AND
UH, IT KEEPS THIS AREA COOL IN THE
SUMMER AND WARM IN THE FALL.
WHICH MEANS IT'S GREAT FOR
PEACHES.
Laura says, OKAY, SO
JILLIAN, NOW THAT I’VE LEARNED
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THESE
PEACHES ARE GROWN UH, CAN I GO PICK
SOME NOW?
Jillian says, ABSOLUTELY.
MY COUSIN SIGNY WILL TAKE YOU
AROUND AND SHOW YOU HOW TO PICK
SOME PEACHES.
Laura says, LET'S DO IT.
Laura stands by a peach tree with a woman with long brown hair.
Laura says, OKAY, SO IF I DO WANNA PICK A PEACH,
LIKE, HOW DO I KNOW THAT IT'S EVEN
READY TO BE PICKED?
Text reads, SIGNY.
Signy says, WELL, IT’S KIND OF TRICKY BECAUSE
THE PEACHES RIPEN AT DIFFERENT
TIMES DEPENDING ON WHERE THEY
ARE ON THE TREE .
Laura says, OKAY.
Signy says, DEPENDING ON
THEIR EXPOSURE TO THE SUN AND
RAIN AND OTHER ELEMENTS.
SO YOU KIND OF HAVE TO FEEL AROUND
FOR THE RIGHT PEACH.
JUST GIVE THE PEACHES A LITTLE FEEL.
Laura says, OKAY.
Signy says, IF THEY’RE SOFT TO THE TOUCH
THEY SHOULD BE READY TO PICK.
Laura says, ALRIGHT.
Laura feels different peaches on the tree.
Signy says, USUALLY THE ONES UP HIGH RIPEN
FIRST BECAUSE OF THE SUN.
Laura gasps.
Laura says, OKAY, FOUND ONE!
THIS ONE IS A BIT SOFT.
Signy says, AWESOME.
Laura asks, NOW WHAT DO I DO?
Signy says, SO JUST TWIST IT WITH THE FLICK
OF YOUR WRIST.
Laura says, OKAY.
Laura twists a peach hanging on a branch.
Signy says, AND IT SHOULD COME OFF PRETTY
EASILY.
Laura gasps.
Signy says, THERE YOU GO!
Laura says, I GOT IT!
I PICKED MY OWN PEACH.
OKAY.
BEFORE I TAKE A BITE, WHAT KIND OF
PEACH IS THIS?
Signy says, SO THIS ONES A RED HAVEN.
Laura says, OKAY.
Signy says, IT’S A FREE STONE PEACH WHICH MEANS
THE FLESH ACTUALLY COMES CLEAN
OFF THE PIT WHEN YOU OPEN IT UP.
Laura gasps.
Signy says, WHICH MAKES IT REALLY EASY TO
EAT AND THEY’RE SUPER SWEET SO
I’M EXCITED FOR TO YOU TRY IT.
Laura says, OH AND I LOVE A SWEET PEACH SO,
TVOKIDS, CHECK IT OUT,
THE PERFECT PEACH.
Laura takes a bite of the peach. She looks happy.
She says, HMMM!
Signy smiles.
Laura says, OKAY, THAT IS AMAZING.
Laura holds out the peach with a bite missing and laughs.
Laura says, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHOWING ME
AROUND THE SMITH TWO CENTURY
FARM.
Laura stands between Jillian and Signy holding a basket of peaches.
Jillian says, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING.
WE HAD SUCH A FUN TIME.
Signy says, IT WAS SO GREAT TO MEET YOU, THANK YOU.
Laura says, NICE TO MEET YOU GUYS TOO!
YEAH I HAD SO MUCH FUN.
AND HEY, THANKS FOR THE PEACHES.
I’M GONNA GO BAKE A PIE NOW.
SEE YA LATER!
Signy says, AWESOME.
ENJOY!
Signy waves as Laura leaves.
Signy says, BYE!
A female voice says, MEANWHILE…
A male voice joins the female voice and together they say, IN THE GARDEN…
(Sigh)
Planted in a garden beside a trowel, are a piece of broccoli and a cob of corn. The corn wears a tie.
The broccoli with the female voice says, WHERE IS LAURA?
IT WAS READY TO BE HARVESTED
LIKE YESTERDAY.
I MEAN I’M BRIGHT GREEN AND SUPER
FRESH.
THE PERFECT SIZE.
SHE BETTER HURRY BEFORE MY HEAD
FLOWERS.
The corn with the male voice says, TELL ME ABOUT IT.
I’M BUSTING OUT OF MY HUSKS
OVER HERE.
The broccoli sighs.
It says, IT’S BETTING, IT’S GETTING A BIT CROWDED IN THIS
GARDEN, TOO.
I’M KIND OF OVER IT TO BE
HONEST.
The corn says, SAME.
I‘M READY TO GET OUT OF THIS
GARDEN AND INTO THE REAL WORLD.
I CAN'T WAIT TO LIVE OUT MY
DESTINY AS A BACKYARD BARBECUE
APP, OR BETTER YET, A MOVIE
THEATRE SNACK.
The broccoli laughs.
The broccoli says, DREAM BIG, RIGHT?
The corn asks, NOW, WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
The broccoli says, NOTHING.
IT’S JUST… MOVIE THEATRE SNACK,
IS JUST CUTE.
The corn says, CUTE?
The broccoli says, YEAH, I MEAN, AS A BROCCOLI I
JUST HAVE BIGGER PLANS YOU KNOW.
LIKE I’M REALLY GONNA MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
I’M DESTINED TO BE A PERFECTLY
SEASONED SIDE AT A MICHELIN STAR
RESTAURANT OR THE MAIN INGREDIENT
IN A CELEBRITY CHEFS SIGNATURE SOUP.
The corn says, OH I SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE!
The corn turns and looks at the broccoli.
The corn says, YOU THINK YOU’RE BETTER THAN
ME?
The broccoli says, YOU KNOW WHAT?
YEAH. YEAH I DO.
The corn gasps and says, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!
The broccoli says, WELL, YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IT
BECAUSE I’M THE BETTER VEGETABLE.
WE ALL KNEW IT.
The corn says, WELL WHAT MAKES YOU BETTER THAN
ME?
Speaking over top of each other, the vegetables argue
The corn says, I AM SWEET AND DELECTABLE.
The broccoli says, WELL LOOK IT,
I’M A BROCCOLI, OF COURSE I’M BETTER.
I’M ALWAYS THE BETTER…
The corn says, I AM MUCH MORE VERSATILE.
The broccoli says, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO SOLVE
THIS.
The corn says, WELL, WHAT IS IT?
The broccoli says, A VEGGIE ELECTION.
The corn says, GOOD PLAN.
WHAT'S THAT?
The broccoli is THAT MEANS WE’RE GONNA HAVE A
VOTE TO SEE WHO IS THE MAYOR OF
THE GARDEN.
The corn says, WELL I THINK
IT’S GONNA BE ME.
The broccoli says, AND I’M JUST GONNA…
The broccoli grabs a pencil and a piece of paper. Compared to the broccoli, the pencil and the paper are huge.
The broccoli says, …LEAVE A NOTE FOR LAURA SO
THAT SHE TELLS ALL THE TVOKIDS
THAT THERE’S GONNA BE A
VEGGIE ELECTION ON SEPTEMBER 20th.
The corn says, SEE YOU SOON, SOON TO BE LOSER
OF THE GARDEN.
The corn chuckles.
The broccoli looks annoyed.
A young girl in a blue shirt wearing blue sunglasses stands outside by a garden.
She says HI, I AM LAUREN AND I’M GONNA
TAKE YOU A TOUR OF MY NONNO NINO'S
GARDEN.
(Cheerful music plays)
Lauren walks into the garden. A man works in the garden. Lauren walks through rows of tomato plants.
Lauren says, THERE’S SOME TEENSY TINY TOMATOES.
Small green tomatoes hang from vines.
Lauren says, THESE ARE TOMATOES.
THESE ARE TOMATOES.
THESE ARE TOMATOES.
AND THESE ARE ALSO TOMATOES.
MY NONNO LOVES TO PLANT
TOMATOES.
Lauren holds a tomato still attached to the plant. The man crouches beside her.
The man says, JUST, JUST TWIST IT.
Lauren twists the tomato and gives it a small tug. It comes off the plant.
The man says, THERE YOU GO.
The man wears a shirt with text that says World’s Best Nonno.
He says, HMM, THEY’RE GOOD.
Lauren’s Nonno takes a bite of a tomato while Lauren works on twisting off a tomato from a vine.
Lauren says, THERE ARE SOME LETTUCE LEAVES
OVER HERE.
Lauren touches two large hanging plants.
She says, OH, THEY FEEL HAIRY.
EW.
Lauren wipes her hands on her shorts.
In another part of the garden, Lauren says, THERE’S SOME, ZUCCHINIS OVER
HERE.
Lauren displays zucchini plants.
Lauren says, SEE ONE DOWN THERE?
Lauren watches her Nonno take a zucchini from its plant.
Her Nonno says, THERE WE GO.
[indiscernible]
HA HA HA
In front of the zucchini plants, Lauren holds a slice of bread in one hand and a zucchini in the other.
Lauren says, NONNO’S ZUCCHINI.
Lauren holds up the zucchini.
She says, NONNO’S ZUCCHINI BREAD.
Lauren holds up the zucchini bread then takes a bite. She walks through the garden.
Lauren says, OVER HERE ARE SOME GREEN BEANS.
YOU CAN SEE OVER HERE.
Lauren moves some of a green beans plants leaves to display the green beans. In another part of the garden, her Nonno reaches over a plant.
He says, I’M PICKING UP A, THE PEPPER’S.
REMEMBER THE ONE YOU WERE TRYING TO?
Lauren says, YEAH!
Her Nonno says, YES.
Lauren holds up a big light green pepper.
She says, ‘K GUYS WE’VE PICKED THE
BIG PEPPER, HERE IT IS.
The pepper has a bend in the middle and is long. Lauren stands near a dirt patch in the garden.
Lauren says, ALL OF LIKE, ALL OF THIS USED TO BE FILLED
WITH UM, GARLIC BUT WE PULLED LIKE
ALL OF THIS LAST WEEK.
In a video, Lauren wears gardening gloves and pulls garlic out of the ground.
Meanwhile, Lauren displays another plant.
Lauren says, YOU MIGHT THINK THESE ARE LEEKS
BUT THESE ARE ONIONS.
YOU GUYS MIGHT KNOW, NOT KNOW WHAT
THESE ARE.
THESE ARE CARROTS.
At another plant in the garden, Lauren says, THESE LEAVES SMELL LIKE,
UM, LEMONS.
SO IF YOU PICK ONE…
Lauren picks a leaf off the plant.
She says, …AND RUB IT A LITTLE BIT.
Lauren rubs the leaf between her thumb and index finger then smells it. Lauren holds out her hands with the leaf in the middle. She blows the leaf off her hands. Lauren stands at a stone sign that reads, Nonno Nino’s Garden.
Lauren says, OKAY GUYS,
THAT WAS THE TOUR OF MY NONNO NINO’S
GARDEN.
SEE YOU SOON.
BYE!
Lauren waves. Back in the tree fort, Matt lets out a breath of air.
Laura says, WELL, WE COULDN'T THINK OF
THE WORD SO I GUESS THAT MEANS
DR. T WINS THIS ONE.
Matt says, YOU KNOW LAURA, I DON'T WANT
TO MAKE YOU FEEL WORSE BUT IF
YOU HAVEN'T PROCRASTINATED ALL
DAY WE’D HAVE SOME VEGGIES
NOW AT LEAST TO HAVE FOR DINNER.
(Thunder rumbles)
Laura says, WAIT, WHAT WORD DID YOU SAY?
I SAID PROCRASTINATE IT MEANS TO
DELAY OR PUT SOMETHING OFF.
(Thunder rumbles)
Laura says, MATT, THAT'S IT!
THAT’S THE WORD!
PROCRASTINATE!
Text reads, Procrastinate.
Mat gasps. He grabs his hat
Laura says, WE DID IT!
Matt says, WE SOLVED THE WORD!
Laura says, OKAY!
I’M GONNA GO GET
OUR VEGGIES RIGHT NOW
FROM THE GARDEN!
Matt then says, OKAY, OKAY, GO, QUICK!
Laura says, THIS IS AMAZING.
Laura leaves the tree fort.
Matt says, OKAY!
BYE!
YES, WE DID IT!
WE SOLVED THE WORD!
OKAY!
Dr. Thesaurus grunts.
He says, NO!
Dr. Thesaurus appears in the sky. Matt looks worried.
He says, YOU, TVOKIDS HOSTS HAVE DONE IT
AGAIN.
ALWAYS SOLVING MY WORDS PUZZLES AT THE
LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT.
I’M HUMILIATED, CRUSHED, PUT TO SHAME.
PUT TO SHAME OH, SHAME BUT YOU GET TO
KEEP YOUR VEGGIES AND YOUR TREE
FORT TODAY.
BUT I’LL BE BACK.
TOMORROW!
WITH A VEGGIE VENGEANCE!
Dr. Thesaurus looks determined. He disappears from the sky.
Matt waves and says, BYE, TVOKIDS.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR HAH, HANGING OUT
WITH US TODAY.
OH, MAN.
DT. T, HE TRIED TO TAKE ALL
THE VEGGIES, BUT GUESS, WHAT HE
WAS FOILED BY US ONCE AGAIN.
WE FOUND OUT THE WORD.
NOW LET'S CHECK IN WITH LAURA IN
THE GARDEN.
In the garden, Laura holds a basket with broccoli and corn in it. She holds a head of broccoli and lets out a sigh.
Laura says, CHECK IT OUT, TVOKIDS.
Laura places the broccoli to her basket.
She says, I DID GET MY VEGGIES.
Laura adds carrots to her basket.
She says, WHICH IS
AMAZING AND, HEY, WHAT'S THIS?
Laura picks up a piece of paper.
Laura says, LOOKS LIKE A NOTE WAS LEFT?
DEAR LAURA.
THERE WILL BE A VEGGIE ELECTION
FOR MAYOR OF THE GARDEN
SEPTEMBER 20th?
MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND GO TO
TVOKIDS.COM TO FIND OUT MORE.

Text reads, tvokids.com
Laura says, HUH?
Laura grabs broccoli from her basket. She holds it up and looks at it.
She says, WHAT?
Laura looks confused.
