This week, with spring just around the corner, planning is underway for what to plant in the garden, but there are far more ideas than the garden can fit.

I wonder what they open? If it’s not the Club or the garden shed, what could it be? Along the way, Little Dazzy Donuts keeps everyone entertained with three poems read by this week's poets: Elena, Kuhu and Madeline.

| 13 Mar 2023 | Pets Finale! | 00:19:06 | |
This week, a strong wind keeps everyone pinned down at the Club.
