Old Mrs. Moody and Catbaloo are raking and digging and hoeing—getting the ground ready to plant a community pumpkin patch. 

As they begin to plant the pumpkin seeds, Catbaloo is reminded of her favorite story about seeds. It’s the story of Pipi Pumpkinseed—a wise big brother mouse. With no food at home to feed his nine baby brothers and sisters, Pipi must venture out into the world to find them something to eat.

When he returns with ten pumpkin seeds, he gives them sage advice: They can eat their seeds, and have full tummies for one night, or they can plant their seeds and have full tummies every night—forever. But they were too hungry to care about planting, or the future, and they each decided to eat their seeds at once. But Pipi didn’t. Pipi planted his seed. Soon his one little pumpkin seed grew enough food to feed every mouse in every house in the county!

This story is a story about the incredible miracle of seedtime and harvest. There is a lot to be learned from Pipi and his little pumpkin seed.

Come listen in and learn a little bit about gardening and a lot about hope, faith, and love.

It was pure joy to produce this episode for you and your little loves to listen to together.

It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow.
