The Case of the Flowerless Garden

**The Case of the Flowerless Garden** is the twenty-first episode of Season 1 of Fishtronaut and the twenty-first episode of the series.

## Summary

The episode opens with Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek at a garden where flowers are taking long to grow and Zeek is very impatient waiting. Marina tells him that he must be patient for the flowers to grow, but Fishtronaut tells him that it has been two weeks, four days, five hours, and six minutes when they try to grow the flowers and the flowers are not growing. Fishtronaut tells them that they must be more patient, like what Marina did to Zeek. Marina and Zeek are curious what is wrong with the growing problem. All of a sudden, a P.O.P. arrives to the trio.

**P.O.P. Clues:** a tiny bird's feather and a bucket of water

Receiving the clues, the gang decides to get more water to water the flowers several times and days later, the flowers are still not growing after a lot of watering. Marina tells Zeek that there must be a missing ingredient for a flower as Fishtronaut tells them that it has been seven days, three hours, and one minute and decides to go to Happy Plumb for help while Marina and Zeek decide to check on the garden. While talking to Happy Plumb, Fishtronaut explains to him that he with Marina and Zeek have watered the flowers many times and the flowers have not bloomed. Happy Plumb gives him a riddle: "The bird eats food that also needs food and this food's food is the soil". Fishtronaut is confused with the complicated case and the riddle he listened to reminds him of the feather clue.

Returning to Marina and Zeek, Fishtronaut tells them that they must find the missing birds and find out what they like to eat by investigating at the forest. Seeing a flock of birds, a hummingbird arrives towards the gang and Fishtronaut asks him what do birds like to eat. The hummingbird explains to him that birds like to eat papaya, bananas, and earthworms. Fishtronaut found out that the birds were eating the earthworms that were supposed to grow the flowers that did not grow for a long time, which reminds him of Happy Plumb's riddle. Marina also explains that birds eat earthworms and earthworms eat soil by digging little holes, loosening the soil and leave castings behind after eating, making the soil more nutritious and more nutritious soil produces happy seeds. The gang decides to find some earthworms so the flowers can grow.

Finding an earthworm, Marina and Fishtronaut tell the earthworms to go on a trip to get to the garden where flowers didn't grow at the middle of the park and the earthworms agree to be brought to the garden. Fishtronaut brings them to the garden so the earthworms start eating the food given by Zeek and Marina tells them to start digging lots of holes, loosening the soil and leaving castings behind. They decide to follow what Marina said and the flowers start blooming days after a help from the worms. After waiting for a few days during the process, the flowers started blooming and the trio is satisfied with the flowers in the garden. Fishtronaut decides to ask Dr. Green for help to see all the flowers, so he starts making a hot air balloon so they can see the the flowers that form an image of Fishtronaut, in which Dr. Green likes. All of a sudden, another P.O.P. appears

**P.O.P. Rewards:** different flower seed packets

Receiving the rewards, Dr. Green explains to Marina that the seeds are for rare flowers. All of a sudden, the hummingbird that Fishtronaut talked to arrives and is very happy that he saw the beautiful flowers in the form of Fishtronaut in the park.
