04x22 - Let's Plant

Post by bunniefuu »

Hi! I'm so glad you're here.

There's someone I'd like you to meet.

This is our new plant, Nero.

Go ahead, say hi to Nero.

Hi, Nero.

Today is a very big day for Nero.

We're going to plant him in our backyard garden.

You'll help, right?

Great! Come on.

See, I'm all ready to work in the garden.

I got my gardening gloves.

[barks hello]

Oh, hey, Blue.

[barking]

Hey, garden looks great.

[barking...]

What do you think Shovel and Pail are doing?

Planting seeds.

Yeah, they're planting seeds.

Digging holes in the dirt and putting seeds in.

First, Shovel digs a little hole.

And then Pail puts in a seed and covers it up.

Wow, wonder what happens next.

Whoa...

Hey, Periwinkle.

Next, I water them.

That's my garden job.

Well, we have a garden job, too.

Planting Nero.

[barking]

Blue found a good spot for Nero.

Come on.

Ooh, that's perfect.

Is it okay with you?

So, what do you think?

You comfy?

Steve, what kind of plant is Nero?

Well, Nero's green, leafy, good with people.

Oh, but what kind of plant is Nero?

What do you mean?

There are different kinds of plants?

[barking]

Really? Like what?

[barking]

Over here are the p*ssy willows.

[barks]

And that's a bean plant.

See all those little beans?

[barks]

And we planted this kind for you, Steve.

It's a striped wintergreen plant.

[barks]

With green stripes just like me.

Thanks.

So these are all different kinds of plants.

I wonder what kind of plant Nero is.

Do you know, Blue?

[barking]

Oh! We'll play Blu...

...Blue's Clues to figure out

what kind of plant Nero is.

Great idea.

♪ We are gonna play Blue's Clues ♪

♪ 'cause it's a really great game. ♪

So remember, Blue's pawprint

will be on the clues: Blue's Clues.

Hey, look at that.

The pawprint changed into a plant.

But what kind of plant did it change into?

A sunflower.

A sunflower.

Yeah, that's one of Blue's favorites.

Oh... bye.

Hey, you know what we need to play Blue's Clues.

Our handy-dandy...

Notebook.

Notebook, right. Come on.

Hi, Steve.

Hi, Side Table.

What lovely green hair you have today.

That's not my hair, Steve.

That's my fern plant.

Oh. Well, what a lovely fern plant you have today.

Thanks.

Here's your notebook.

Thanks, Side Table.

To play Blue's Clues, we got to find a...

Pawprint!

Oh, a pawprint, right.

And that's our first...

Clue!

A clue?

A clue!

Then we put it in our... Notebook!

♪ 'Cause they're Blue's Clues

♪ Blue's Clues

♪ We got to find another pawprint, that's the second clue ♪

♪ We put it in our notebook, 'cause they're whose clues? ♪

♪ Blue's Clues

♪ We got to find the last pawprint, that's the third clue ♪

♪ We put it in our notebook

♪ 'Cause they're Blue's Clues, Blue's Clues ♪

♪ You know what do-- sit down in our Thinking Chair ♪

♪ And think, think, think

♪ 'Cause when we use our minds, take a step at a time ♪

[barks]

♪ That we want to do.

You know, I can tell I'm really going to need your help today

trying to figure out what kind of plant Nero is.

You will help, right?

Great.

So, did you see which way Blue went?

That way.

That way.

Hey, she probably went to go visit Nero.

Come on.

♪ We are visiting Nero

♪ I wonder if he grew.

A clue, a clue!

Yeah, do you think he grew?

No, a clue!

Yeah, I think so, too.

It's a clue!

Behind you!

Oh. Oh, you see a clue.

And it's on this color.

Red.

You know what we need:

our handy-dandy...

Notebook!

Notebook, right.

So, our first clue is the color red.

Let's use our red crayon

and draw a line that zigzags back and forth.

There, the color red.

Our first clue.

So, what kind of plant could Nero be with the color red?

Excellent idea, but we'll have to find

two more clues, just to be sure.

First, let's go check on Nero.

Hope he's okay.

Hey, Nero, enjoying your new home?

Making lots of new plant friends?

I hope so.

Look at all these great plants around.

We got bean plants,

sunflowers, one of Blue's favorites,

zinnias.

What kind of plant is that?

It's me, Periwinkle.

I'm pretending to be this aster plant.

Do you want to be a plant, too?

You'll be a plant with us, right?

Great.

Sure, we'll be plants with you.

Cool.

So first I want to make my feet be roots.

Like these roots here.

Oh, like those roots there, huh?

Looks like those roots

are spread out all over the place.

Yep, they spread out in the ground.

But I don't know what the roots doin the ground.

Do you know what the roots do

all spread out down there in the ground?

What do they need to find?

What do the roots need?

Water.

Water! Roots spread out

so they can find water and soak it up for the plant.

How about we try that with our feet? Come on.

Okay, let's spread our feet out like roots.

Our roots are soaking up water.

Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp.

[slurping]

We figured out how to make our feet be roots.

But what about our stems and leaves?

What do they do?

Well, let's take a look at those plants over there.

See if we can figure it out.

Yeah.

Come on.

These plants are leaning their stems and leaves.

You're right, Periwinkle.

Those plants are in the shade

and they're leaning out of the shade.

What do you think they're leaning toward?

The sun.

Right, the sun.

That's it.

Let's lean our stems out of the shade

so our leaves can be in the sun.

Ah! Okay...

You're leaning too, right? Great.

Wait, almost there.

We did it.

Our leaves are in the sun.

That was great!

[wind blowing]

Oh, what was that?

Come see!

Wow, the wind blew that seed

all the way over here.

There it is in the dirt.

Well, what do you think will happen next?

It will grow into a new plant.

That tiny seed is going to grow into a new plant.

That's amazing.

Let's pretend that we're seeds

and grow into plants.

You'll be a seed, too, right? Great.

Okay, we're little seeds.

First, we sprout roots.

Then spread them out so they can soak up water.

Slurp, slurp, slurp.

Now, we grow a stem and leaves

and lean so the leaves can soak up the sun.

Let's grow really big.

We did it!

We went from tiny little seeds to great big plants.

Thanks for being plants with me.

Sure, no problem, Periwinkle.

Hey, let's go see how Nero is doing.

Hey, Blue. Hey, Nero.

So, Nero, you're going to want to soak up

all that water and that sun

so you can grow into a nice, big, strong plant.

♪ ...Mail Time, Mail Time, Mail Time! ♪

The mail's here.

Let's go.

♪ Here's the mail, it never fails ♪

♪ It makes me want to wag my tail ♪

♪ When it comes, I want to wail, "Mail!" ♪

[barks]

Hiya, Steve.

Did you know that plants grow

some of my favorite snacks?

Really? Like what?

Like carrots...

and celery...

and pears.

Yum.

You said it, Steve.

Here's... your letter.

Thanks.

We just got a letter.

♪ We just got a letter

♪ We just got a letter

♪ We just got a letter

♪ Wonder who it's from?

It's a letter from our friends.

BOTH: Hi, Steve.

We're learning about plants.

Let's go.

This is how water moves up a plant.

Wind helps seeds move around.

Seeds grow into new plants.

This is a stamen.

This is a petal.

BOTH: Bye, Steve.

Bye.

I can't wait to figure out what kind of plant Nero is.

Let's go find some more clues.

♪ We are looking for Blue's Clues ♪

♪ Wonder where they are.

A clue, a clue!

Oh, yeah, someone drew.

No, it's a clue.

Oh, there's a clue on these round shapes.

You know what we need.

Our handy-dandy...

Notebook.

Notebook, right.

Okay, let's draw these round shapes.

A line that curves all the way around...

then another and another.

There... round shapes.

What was our first clue?

Red.

The color red. Right.

Now our second clue is round shapes.

So, what kind of plant could Nero be

with the color red and round shapes?

Do you know?

That's a good idea

but we should probably find one more clue just to be sure.

[Blue barking]

Sounds like Blue. Come on.

Hey, Blue, what are you working on?

[barks]

Oh, pictures.

Oh, are these your favorite plants?

[barks]

Hi, Mr. Salt.

Look at these wonderful drawings

of a Venus flytrap...

a geranium...

and a sensitive plant.

A Venus flytrap, a geranium, and a sensitive plant.

How come these are your favorite plants, Blue?

[barks tune]

"Because they're really smart"?

Well, what makes them so smart?

[barks]

[barking "Blue Skidoo"]

Blue just skidooed into that book all about plants.

Let's go, too.

♪ Blue skidoo, we can, too.

Wow, this is amazing.

[barking]

A pond.

Oh, right, let's see if we can find the Venus flytrap.

You'll help, right?

Great.

[barking softly]

Just let me know if you see it.

[barking softly]

Right there!

The Venus flytrap.

Hey, you found the Venus flytrap.

I wonder what smart thing it does.

[barking]

Oh, good idea.

Let's watch to see if we can figure it out.

[fly buzzing]

What did those leaves do?

They closed.

They trapped the bug.

Yeah, those leaves closed and the bug got trapped.

That plant trapped a bug.

So I guess Venus flytraps trap bugs

so they can eat them, right?

That's pretty smart.

[barking]

Wow, what a beautiful field of wildflowers.

[barking]

Oh, right, let's find the next favorite plant.

So keep your eyes open for the geranium.

[barks]

Geranium... do you see it?

[barking]

There!

The geranium.

There it is.

But what's so smart about this geranium?

[barks]

Oh, right-- let's watch and see.

What did that pod do?

It popped!

Seeds came out!

Yeah, that pod popped and seeds came out.

[barks]

[barking]

And here they are.

I guess that helped the seeds find their own dirt

so they could grow into new plants.

That's pretty smart.

[barking]

Okay, we have one more plant left to find.

The sensitive plant.

[barking]

Do you see it?

There. The sensitive plant.

There it is.

I wonder what smart thing it does?

[barks]

Well, yeah, let's watch

and see if we can figure it out.

Hey, it looks like that rabbit

wants to eat the sensitive plant.

What happened to those leaves?

What did they do?

They dried out.

They went down.

Yeah, they dried out and went down

and then the rabbit didn't want to eat them.

And now it's back to normal again.

That was a very smart thing to do, sensitive plant.

No, really, it was.

So, Blue, did we find all your favorite kinds of plants?

Yeah, and we figured out what smart things

different kinds of plants can do.

I wonder what smart thing Nero can do.

[barks]

Blue?

We better find some more clues

so we can figure out what kind of plant Nero is.

A clue, a clue!

Achoo?

Yeah, I know, it's this pollen.

No, it's a clue.

Oh, you want a tissue?

There's a clue.

Oh, there's a clue...

on this vine.

You know what we need.

Our handy-dandy...

Notebook.

Notebook, right.

So a vine is a stem that climbs up things.

So...

First let's draw a long, curvy stem...

then some shapes along the outside for leaves.

And there, a vine.

Our third clue.

We have all three clues.

You know what that means.

We ready to sit in our...

Thinking Chair.

Thinking Chair. Let's go.

Okay, now that we're in our Thinking Chair, let's think.

You will help, right?

Great.

So, we're trying to figure out what kind of plant Nero is,

and our clues are...

the color red...

these round shapes...

and a vine.

So what kind of plant is Nero

with the color red, round shapes and a vine?

Well, maybe part of Nero could be red.

Yeah, but what could that red part look like?

Right, maybe round, like the shapes.

Well, what about the vine?

Maybe the round, red shapes could grow on a vine.

But what kind of plant grows something

that's round and red on a vine?

What could that be?

A tomato plant.

A tomato plant!

Yeah, because tomatoes are red, they're round

and they grow on vines.

Blue, is that it?

We just figured out Blue's Clues!

♪ We just figured out Blue's Clues ♪

♪ We just figured out Blue's Clues ♪

♪ We just figured out Blue's Clues ♪

♪ 'Cause we're really smart.

Come on, let's go to the garden and see Nero-- our tomato plant.

Oh, hey, Periwinkle.

Hi. Thanks for helping me figure out

what roots, stems, leaves and seeds do

so I could be a plant.

Sure. We figured something else out, too.

Come on.

Hey, Nero, looking good.

Nice leaves.

So you'll help me tell everyone the big news, right?

Great.

When I do this...

let's tell everyone that Nero is a tomato plant.

What is it, Steve?

We would like to announce that Nero is...

A tomato plant. A tomato plant.

Wow!

Steve, look!

Nero, you grew tomatoes.

You are so smart.

Hey, remember how we found Blue's favorite plants

and figured out what they did that was smart?

Let's pick some tomatoes.

Thanks, Nero.

Thanks, Nero.

I'll wash them.

We can have tomatoes for a snack.

Wow, plants do a lot of smart things

and so do you.

Thanks for all your help.

You're a great gardener.
