Lisa's Vegetable Garden

Episode Number: 56    Season Num: 2    First Aired: March 8, 1967    Prod Code: 056
According to Oliver, every farm wife should be growing her own vegetables so Lisa starts her own garden. Armed with useless pamphlets from Mr. Kimball and a flask of perfume, Lisa begins work.
