1
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful day to be outside. It sure is.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: I'm glad we decided to come to the park today.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: Me too, I'm glad too. I wanted to bring you

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: to the park today to show you a very special place.

5
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 3: What is this special place?

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: It's a surprise welcome to Storytime Bye, where we discover

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 2: fascinating facts about the world around us and the fun

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: of play learning. Join us today as we learn all

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: about gardening.

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Oh, look over there, what are those people doing?

11
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: Hey looks like they're digging or doing something in the dirt.

12
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Are they looking for treasure?

13
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 2: They're gardening. This is the special place I wanted to

14
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: show you. This place is a garden, and not just

15
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 2: any garden, but a community garden.

16
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: What is that.

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: Well, a garden is somewhere where people can plant all

18
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: kinds of plants and vegetables, and a community garden is

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: open for everyone to come and garden together.

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: How would people do that? It looks like a lot

21
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 1: of work.

22
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: Well, gardening can be hard work, but it's also fun

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 2: and rewarding, and doing it together is a great way

24
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: to socialize and even make new friends. Let's get closer

25
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: and see what they're doing.

26
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: Look at everyone working in the dirt. Isn't dirt dirty?

27
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, that dirt on the ground is actually called soil.

28
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: It's true that it has a lot of bacteria and

29
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: germs that we wouldn't want to eat, but it also

30
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 2: has a lot of nutrients that are really good for plants.

31
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Soil is very important because it's good for plants, and

32
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: plants are where we get a lot of our food from.

33
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 2: That's right, Billy. It's still good to use gloves when gardening,

34
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: and always wash your hands afterwards, and of course wash

35
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: the fruits and vegetables before eating them.

36
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 4: Why are they moving the dirt around with that little rake.

37
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: That's called tilling the soil. It helps loosen up the

38
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: soil and mix up the nutrients so that it's.

39
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: Ready for planting. What things can we plant?

40
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: Well, just about any kind of fruit and vegetable that

41
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: you can think of. Since it's our very first steps

42
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: as gardeners, let's think of something that's quick and easy

43
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: to grow. I can think of sweet tomatoes, juicy lettuce,

44
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: and kale. What else can we plant? Lingo, kids, listeners,

45
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: I want to plant some marshmallows.

46
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: I want to plant some chocolate chip cookies.

47
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: Marshmallows and cookies are not things you can plant. You

48
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: can only plant well plants like fruit and vegetable trees.

49
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: Oh, I want to plant some apples. I want to

50
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: plant bamboo. I want to plant some blueberries.

51
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: And how about we plant something that cows, pandas and

52
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: boxes can all eat like what. I'll give you a hint.

53
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: They're orange and hard and crunchy when you bite them.

54
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: Can you guess what they are?

55
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: Carrots?

56
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: That's right, we can plant carrots too. They're healthy and

57
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: good for your eye health too. Oh yeah, I have

58
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 2: a question though, Yes, Lisa, why should we grow a

59
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: garden when we could just buy.

60
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: Veggies and fruits at the supermarket?

61
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: Well, Lisa, fruits and veggies that are grown in a

62
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: garden can be even healthier and tastier, and they're always organic.

63
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 3: What is organic? Is it like a piano of big pipes.

64
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: On the wall?

65
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: No, Elliot, you are talking about the organ. Organic refers

66
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: to growing food in a natural way without adding any chemicals.

67
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

68
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: I see.

69
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: Gardens aren't just good for our health, though they're also

70
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 2: good for the environment. Gardening is a way of growing

71
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: food in a sustainable way. What is that it's when

72
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: something is done in a way that doesn't hurt the

73
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: environment or impact it in a negative way. That's great,

74
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: great idea, Billy. Let's go plant our carrot seeds in

75
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: the garden. There are some seeds over there.

76
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 1: I've got mine, me too, Me three?

77
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, dig a little hole in the soil, place

78
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 2: your seed in the hole, and then cover the hole

79
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: with the soil, and then add a little bit of water.

80
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: How fun. I'm going to wait here and watch my

81
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: seeds grow.

82
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: Well, Cowie, we might have to wait a while. Our

83
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: carrots should germinate in about two weeks or so.

84
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: We don't want our carrots to have germs.

85
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no. Although it sounds like germs, germinate

86
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: means when a baby plants start sprouting or growing from

87
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: a seed.

88
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Ooh, two weeks is a long time.

89
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: It will go by quickly, elliot. And the good thing

90
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: is we can come back to water our seeds. They

91
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: need plenty of water and sunlight to grow into a

92
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: healthy plant.

93
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: Yay, I want to come back and wander these seeds.

94
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: It's exciting to see the results of your hard work.

95
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: All it takes is a few weeks and you can

96
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: see your plant grow from a seed that you planted yourself.

97
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: How fun.

98
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: I would like to have my own garden one day. Well, Lisa,

99
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: we don't have to wait. Growing your own garden is

100
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: actually easy. All we need is some open space like

101
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: a backyard to build our garden in.

102
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 4: Let's grow our own garden at home. Yeah, let's do it.

103
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: Okay, we can pick up some soil on the way

104
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: back home and start making our own garden. Hey, well,

105
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: lingo kids listeners, we had a great time today. Thank

Speaker 2: you enjoyed it too. In our next episode, we will

108
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: continue play learning together.
