Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

After Jon gets his groceries delivered to the house, he looks at the bill and then says that groceries are too expensive. He then decides to grow his own vegetables in the backyard, like he used to do when he grew up on the farm. After a few days the vegetables don’t appear to be growing, so he goes to a garden shop and buys seedlings.

After he plants the seedlings, several wild animals show up to eat the vegetables; Jon then orders Garfield and Odie to protect the garden. A gopher appears to be causing most of the trouble, and after he steals vegetables and then disappears down a gopher hole, Garfield and Odie use the garden hose to “flush him out”. The strength of the water causes the entire garden to flood and then ruins it.

Jon scolds Garfield and Odie for ruining the garden, but then he apologizes when he sees the gopher angrily leave. Odie then points out a head of lettuce and a few radishes that had been salvaged from the flood. Later, they go into the kitchen and eat the vegetables, and Jon calculates how much money he saved. Along with all the supplies he purchased, he concludes that the lettuce actually cost him $200 per leaf, and the radishes cost $300 each.

Spoilers end here.

  • Jon gets his groceries delivered from Roman Mart.
  • Odie is the only one that doesn’t appear upset when the vegetables don’t start to grow.

Jon: I bought lettuce seeds, tomato seeds, radish seeds, cucumber seeds…
Garfield: What? No nacho seeds? No chocolate layer cake seeds? Huh! Call me when it’s food.
