0:01:35 > 0:01:38Well, you've come to the right veggies.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- We love helping, don't we, Colin? - Helping bean.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45I've been looking everywhere for my sunglasses.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50- Why do you need them, Joan?- I need them for the party we're having,
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- and I just can't find them anywhere. - Right. What do they look like?
0:01:54 > 0:01:59Well, they're pinky-red, sort of squarey-round,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01er...dark, dark glasses.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06- Colin, could you help me look for my sunglasses?- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Finding bean! Finding bean, finding bean, finding bean...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Raymond.- Hmm?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Can you see them anywhere around here?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Yes, yes, I can. - Oh, that's marvellous.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I was starting to worry I'd never see them again.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Well, your sunglasses are on your head.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Really? Where?- You're wearing them.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Oh, yes! So I am. Thank you, Raymond.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40It's OK, Colin! I've found them!
0:02:40 > 0:02:41RAYMOND CHUCKLES
0:02:41 > 0:02:42COMPO TOOTS WHISTLE
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Oh, the tiddlers are coming, Compo.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49I hope they can come to our party.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Hello, Namosi. Hello, Sajid. It's nice to see you.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01I was thinking we could make a salad from the veggies in the nursery.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- How does that sound?- Great.- Perfect.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Right then. Here's our first salad ingredient. Feel this lettuce.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- How does it feel? - Very lumpy and bumpy.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Lumpy and bumpy, yeah. All these funny-shaped leaves.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Vegetables grow in all shapes and sizes and different colours.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Namosi, can you think of anything else that'd be nice in our salad?
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- Tomato.- That's a good idea, isn't it? - That's what I was thinking.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- Were you? I think we should go on a tomato hunt.- Yeah.- Come on, then.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Let's go.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Look. Here are my tomato plants, with lots of tomatoes on them.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50- Can you see some of these tomatoes are different?- They're small.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- Some are small and some... - Some are green, some are red.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56We're got red ones and green ones.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Do you know why they're different colours?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03When they're red, they're ripe and when they're green,
0:04:03 > 0:04:06they're not ripe. If they're green,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10they won't taste very nice if you eat them.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13That's right. Some fruits and vegetables,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16when they're growing, they're a certain colour.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21When ripe, they change colour to let us know they're ready to eat.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Do you two fancy playing the tomato game?- BOTH: Yeah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I'm going to pick a tomato,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32and I want you to look at it and tell me if it's ripe or not ripe.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Do you get it?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Yeah.- All right, here we go. Watch my hands.
0:04:36 > 0:04:41I'm going to pick a tomato. I'm going to pick a tomato.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47OK, here it is. Sajid, is this tomato ripe or not ripe?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Ripe.- That's right!
0:04:49 > 0:04:52It's red, so it's ripe and ready to be picked.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Namosi, it's your turn now.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I'm going to pick a tomato. I'm going to pick a tomato,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01which one will I pick? I'm going to pick this one.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02Is that ripe or not ripe?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Not ripe.- And why's that? - Because it's green.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09It's green as it's still got growing to do.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Now we know which are ripe and not ripe,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16we know which ones to pick. Let's get picking.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Wow.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28The top came off!
0:05:34 > 0:05:36The top came off again!
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- There you go, Mr Bloom.- Thank you.
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Come on, tiddlers. Follow me and we'll get these washed.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Give it a good wash.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52We have to make it...very clean!
0:05:55 > 0:05:56One.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Right, tiddlers, let's make that salad. I've got some cucumber too.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Chop, chop, chop, chop!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- That's one bit.- There's one. - And put it in there?
0:06:08 > 0:06:13I'll chop a few up, then I'll pass them to you. Pop them in the salad.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17What do we need? We've got our lettuce, cucumber...
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- Tomatoes!- Tomatoes!- My tomato!
0:06:21 > 0:06:25We picked the right ones, didn't we? These are all ripe.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Hello, Mr Friendly Tomato for me!
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Oh, heck! Put them in the salad. - CHILDREN LAUGH
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- We've got these spoons. Can you give it a mix?- Yeah.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- There we go. I'll hold the bowl. - Really go mixy?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Yeah, we'll mix it up. Very good. Well done, tiddlers.

0:13:58 > 0:14:05Green bananas. Oh no! That means I'm not dressed properly for the party.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11I'm in yellow and I should be green. Oh. Won't be a minute.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14We should take them to the doctor straightaway, Mr Bloom.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16I think they're poorly.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19There's nothing wrong with them.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Bananas should be yellow.
0:14:22 > 0:14:29Not until they're ripe. You tiddlers, what would you say?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Are these bananas ripe or unripe?

0:15:01 > 0:15:04You didn't have to change into a green costume.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08The bananas are green now, but they will change colour to yellow
0:15:08 > 0:15:10when they're ripe.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Well, I wish they'd make up their minds.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17Some fruits and vegetables start off one colour when they're growing
0:15:17 > 0:15:20but they change colour when they're ripe.
