Episode 9 Harvest Time! Picking Fruits & Veggies the Right Way

It’s finally harvest time in the garden! 🧺🌱

In this exciting episode of Rooted Together, Father and Son head into the garden with their baskets to learn how to tell when fruits and vegetables are ripe, ready, and perfect to pick. Captain Sprout and his garden friends are cheering—it’s time to enjoy the rewards of all that hard work!

What kids will learn in this episode:
What the word “ripe” really means
How to tell when fruits and veggies are ready using color, size, smell, and touch
How to gently harvest plants without hurting them ✂️
Why picking at the right time helps plants keep growing
How patience makes food taste even better!

We explore how to harvest:
Tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers
Leafy greens and herbs
Carrots, squash, and more
Plus kid-friendly tools and safe harvesting tips

Hands-On Challenge for Kids:
Check your garden (or a grown-up’s garden) and look for ONE ripe fruit or veggie.
Ask yourself:
Is the color right?
Does it feel ready?
Does it come off gently?

This episode encourages patience, responsibility, and pride in growing your own food—perfect for young gardeners, homeschooling families, classrooms, and nature-loving kids.
