About this episode

One of the delights of summertime is the chance to grow your own vegetables in a garden. It’s a little tricky with the weather, a need to water, and a constant battle with the bugs. But nothing tastes as good as a fresh tomato from the garden. Wish us luck, and happy harvesting.

Dialogue

A: Parece que a sua horta tá indo bem. Tá uma beleza!

B: Obrigado, eu plantei a ervilha um pouco tarde este ano, mas o feijão está ótimo.

A: É, a ervilha pode ser mais complicado, principalmente porque aqui faz tanto calor.

B: E os meus tomates e abóboras começaram bem.

A: Eu desisti dos tomates, os esquilos e os insetos comem eles o tempo todo.

B: É por isso que eu gosto de cenoura, batata e batata doce.

A: Que esperto, todos crescem no subsolo. Você com certeza tem dedo verde.


A: Looks like your vegetable garden is taking off! Looks great.

B: Thanks, I got my peas in a little late this year, but the beans are coming in strong.

A: Peas can be tricky, especially with how hot it gets around here.

B: And my tomatoes and squash have a good start.

A: I gave up on tomatoes, the squirrels and the bugs get them every time.

B: That’s the main reason why I like carrots, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

A: Smart, they all grow underground. You’ve definitely got a green thumb.
