[Indistinct chatter]
Elmo: Bye, Julia. Bye, Nat. Julia: Bye!
Oh! Oh, hi. Welcome to Sesame Street's
community garden.
Oh. That's where everybody can enjoy nature
and grow flowers and fruits and veggies.
Come on! Let's see what's growing, shall we?
Ha ha ha!
Norbert: Yes. They are doing very well, Alfred,
thanks to you. Alfred: Bark!
Elmo: Oh! Hi, Norbert. Hi, Alfred.
What are you 2 growing?
Norbert: Greetings, Elmo. Elmo: Greetings.
Norbert: Alfred and I are growing flowers.
We love them because they are so beautiful to look at.
Elmo: Yeah. They are really pretty.
Looks like you have lots of different kinds
of flowers here, too.
Norbert: That is true.
These are roses. Alfred: Bark!
Norbert: These are mums. Alfred: Bark!
Norbert: And this is hyssop. Alfred: Hyssop!
Norbert: When they are fully grown,
we want to give flowers to everyone on Sesame Street.
Elmo: Oh. Norbert: We hope they will make
everyone's electrical circuits light up
and they will be happy.
Alfred: Happy! Elmo: Aw.
Well, that's very kind of you 2.
Have fun. See you later!
Norbert: Oh, yes. That is guaranteed.
Alfred: Bark! Elmo: Ha ha ha!
Norbert: Oh, who's a good dog?
Elmo: Hey! Looks like Ernie and Bert
are growing something, too.
Let's see. Ha ha!
Ernie, Bert! Bert: Oh. Hi, Elmo.
Ernie: Hi, Elmo. Elmo: Ha ha ha!
Hi, you 2. What you doing?
Bert: Oh. I'm growing blueberries
because pigeons like berries.
Elmo: Oh, and Bert likes pigeons!
Bert: Correction. Loves pigeons. Ah ah ah!
I planted this bush here where there's lots of sun.
Most plants need a lot of sunlight to grow.
Ernie: That's true, Bert, but other plants
like this fern here, see, they need shade to grow.
Um, OK. Uh, how's that, fern?
Bert: Oh, don't be silly, Ernie.
You can't talk to a fern and--
Fern: Oh, that is nice and shady, Ernie.
Well, the way you take care of me makes me
very "frond" of you.
Ernie: Heh heh heh! Fern: Get it, Elmo?
Elmo: Ha ha ha!
Gonger: What are you doing?!
Elmo: Gonger?
Gonger: If I told you once, I told you a thousand times!
Oh. Hi, Elmo. Elmo: Hey.
Gonger: Don't eat the signs!
Cookie Monster: Ooh. Right. Yeah.
Elmo: Uh, Elmo will leave you 2 to it.
Gonger: Good idea. Elmo: Oh, ho ho ho!
Zoe, Rosita, Miss Kayla, hi!
Zoe, Rosita, and Kayla: Oh. Hi, Elmo!
Zoe: We are helping Alan with his vegetable garden.
Rosita: What she said.
[Splash]
Elmo: What?! Water?
Where's that water coming fro--huh?
Slimey: Whee! Ha ha!
Elmo: Uh, Tamir, is, that, um-- is that Slimey
in a helicopter dropping water?
Tamir: Oh. Yeah. Sorry about that.
Thanks, Slimey, but I don't think
we'll be able to water the whole garden that way.
It's--it's not enough water.
Slimey: OK! Tamir: Thanks.
Elmo: So what are Tamir and Slimey trying to do exactly?
Tamir: Well, you know, the plants in this garden
need 3 things--sunlight, soil, and...
[Splash]
Elmo: Water. Tamir: Right.
Again, Slimey, thank you, but I think
we need another plan.
Slimey: OK. Tamir: Thanks!
Kayla: All right. I'm off to work, honey.
Oh, and don't forget you have robotics camp
in just a little bit.
Tamir: Yeah. OK. Thanks, Mom. Bye!
Kayla: Bye! Elmo: Bye, Miss Kayla.
Kayla: Bye!
Tamir: So the problem is
how do I keep the garden watered
when I'm at robotics camp?
I've had a few ideas.
Oh. I'll show you, I'll show you.
Elmo: OK. Tamir: First idea was
Slimey in a helicopter.
Actually, that was mostly Slimey's idea,
but as you can see, it didn't work
because Slimey can only bring 1 teeny, tiny bucket
of water at a time.
[Splash]
Slimey: Ha ha!
Elmo: Yeah. You know, um,
Slimey's aim's not very good.
Uh, he--he keeps missing the plants.
Tamir: Yeah. Elmo: Mm-hmm.
Tamir: That, too. Again, Slimey, thank you,
but we need to think of a new plan.
You can go and park the helicopter now.
Slimey: See you later!
Tamir: Bye. OK. So then I thought of another idea.
I could put some watering cans on a clothesline,
but I didn't know how I could fill them back up,
so instead, I had another idea.
I thought I could use some old paint cans
with holes on the bottom.
They'd go into this tub of water
and then travel up over the plants
and then back to fill up with more water.
Only it didn't work because I didn't have
a way to make it go.
Elmo: Oh. Tamir: I just love this garden,
and I want it to stay healthy.
How am I gonna solve this problem?
[Popping, splashing]
Voice: Oops-a-daisy.
Ooh. I sat on your water bottle, Tamir.
I'm so sorry.
Tamir: That's O--eureka!
You helped solve the problem.
Porcupine: I did? Elmo: She did?
Tamir: She did! Watch this.
Tape. Elmo: Tape.
Tamir: Garden hose. Elmo: Garden hose.
Tamir: Water bottle. Porcupine: Ooh. OK.
It's got holes in it, but sure.
Tamir: Yeah. Thank you.
Phew!
[Clattering]
Ahh. Elmo: A hose?
Porcupine: With a bottle full of holes taped to it?
Tamir: Right, but also...
Elmo and porcupine: A sprinkler!
Tamir: Right. Porcupine: Who knew my bottom
was a so smart?
Good work, bottom.
Tamir: Only it's still just in 1 place.
Those plants will get too much water,
and the other plants won't get any.
Elmo: Hmm. True. Tamir: Huh.
I wonder if there's a way to move it around
so that all the plants get water.
Norbert: Good boy, Alfred. Alfred: Bark.
Norbert: Who is a good dog? Alfred: Woof!
Norbert: That is correct.
Tamir: Wait a minute. That's it. Alfred!
Elmo and porcupine: Alfred?
Tamir: Clip that right on there, and done!
You sure this is OK?
Norbert: Oh, yes. Absolutely. Alfred just loves
helping in the garden,
and because he is a robot, he never gets tired.
Alfred: Bark! Woof!
Norbert: Go ahead, Ms. Porcupine.
Porcupine: You got it, Norbert!
[Water running]

Elmo: Yay! It works! Tamir: Yeah!
Elmo: Alfred is watering all the plants.
Norbert: Indeed. Alfred: Woof! Bark!
Fern: Oh, oh. That's--wow!

Tamir: Problem solved! Now I can--oh!
Elmo: What? Tamir: Uh-oh!

Norbert: Oh, no. The hose is getting tangled!
Tamir: Ohh!
[Clattering]
And right over there. Phew. All cleaned up.
Elmo: Yeah, but Tamir still doesn't have
a way to water the plants while he's away at camp.
Tamir: I know.
Porcupine: Hoo, am I tired. I got to sit.
Elmo: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Watch out!
Porcupine: Huh? What? Oh, the hose.
Thank you, Elmo. Elmo: Yeah.
Porcupine: Oh, you got to be careful where you sit
when you're covered with pointy quills.
Elmo: Ha! Tamir: Wait a minute.
[Chime]
Eureka!
I have this old hose we aren't using anymore.
Now, Ms. Porcupine... Porcupine: Hmm?
Tamir: Please sit on that hose.
Porcupine: Sit? Tamir: Mm-hmm.
Porcupine: On the-- on the hose really?
Tamir: Really. Put lots of holes in it.
Porcupine: Ooh! Well, uh, if you insist. OK.
[Pop]
Ooh! That's bouncy. Yeah.
[Popping]
Oh, my.
Elmo: Tamir, what is, uh-- what is this for?
Tamir: Just wait.
Porcupine: Ooh, ooh! Oh! Oh! Whoo!
Ha ha! Ho ho ho!
Tamir: Just leave that right there.
OK. Now I just ran the holey hose
through the planters, and ta-da!
A drip irrigation system.
Elmo: A drip what?
Tamir: A drip irrigation system.
Elmo: Oh! Tamir: That is a hose
or a pipe with holes in it that gives plants
a slow and steady drip of water. Elmo: Oh.
Tamir: Hit it, worms.
Worm: Ahh. Uhh! Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Elmo: Whoa! It's working!
Porcupine: Ooh. Would you look at that? Ooh!
Tamir: We did it! Thank you, Ms. Porcupine.
Porcupine: I'd like to thank my bottom
for making all this possible.
My bottom says, "You're welcome."
Tamir: Ha ha! And thank you, worms.
Worm: You're welcome!
Elmo: Just one question. Tamir: Hmm?
Elmo: Where's Slimey?
[Splash]
Slimey: Whee!
Elmo: Elmo just had to ask.
♪
Ha ha ha!
Kids: I wonder, what if, let's try!
Elmo: Oh. Hi! Looks like Xenia and Kolby
have some plants of their own.
Kolby: That's right. We want to make sure
they're watered while we're away.
Xenia: We both figured out our own way to do it.
Kolby: I'm keeping my plants watered while I'm away
by putting a pot of water just above my plants.
Then I take these cottons strings
and lead one string down to each plant.
The strings suck the water up,
and it flows down to the soil around the plants.
That way, they get just enough water--
not too much and not too little.
Xenia: I filled a plastic bottle with water
and stuck it in the dirt.
Kolby: Both ways work!
Elmo: Good work, gardeners.
Yeah! You know, taking care of plants is fun,
and it's a kind thing to do.

One part of the cactus we eat is the tender leaf

In Spanish, the cactus is called nopal,

The cactus has leaves that grow
on the bigger part called the pad.
