While Toot is away, Puddle decides to plant a vegetable garden. He enlists Opal's help and together they plant tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers--all the right ingredients for a salad. They gather supplies in a big wheelbarrow, they measure out their garden and dig out rows. They rake the soil, add fertilizer, and plant seeds all afternoon.
