The Herbs

Parsley is wandering around the garden minding his own business when he decides to surprise Sir Basil...disaster...Sir Basil is so startled by Parsley's roar that he falls back and fires his gun accidentally shooting his tail off. Poor Parsley does not know that he has lost his tail and pretends to be hurt. Sir Basil panics and calls for his wife Lady Rosemary. She realizes Parsley is acting but soon everyone realizes that Parsley's tail has indeed been lost. All the Herbs (Sir Basil, Lady Rosemary, Dill and Bayleaf try and help poor, poor Parsley but Sage (the wise owl) comes to the rescue. All's well that ends well, alas for poor Sage this is not true.

After the missing tail episode, Sage finds that his nest has fallen out of the tree. Sage is not very impressed at all, in fact he is very very angry especially as it is now starting to rain. All the other Herbs come up with ideas to get the nest back in the tree again. Here we meet one of the rarer Herbs - Pashana Bedhi. Parsley believes an Indian herb may hold the key to the problem. In the end Parsley is correct and returns the favour (remember - Sage helped Parsley when his tail had been shot off), by helping sort the problem using Pashana's tricks.

The evil Bella Donna turns up in the garden and fairly soon she has most of the Herbs under her scheming spell. She casts a spell turning herself into a harmless little old lady (amazing how you can change your appearance by placing a scarf over your head). Only Parsley and Dill the Dog can save the day provided Dill wakes up from dreaming about bones - Wake up Dill.

Another rare sighting in the Herb garden was Tarragon the Dragon. He turns up in this story after Bayleaf accidentally spills some super fertilizer on the ground which causes a giant beanstalk to appear. The top of it vanishes into the clouds and it is up to brave Parsley to climb the beanstalk to discover what is at the top. After falling down the stalk he places a bucket on his head and climbs again. At the top he discovers a large egg which he brings down. When it hatches, out pops Tarragon the Dragon.

Parsley rings the School bell. It is time for the chives to go to school. Whilst doing their sums they all start sneezing and coughing. The Chives have caught a cold. Parsley rings the bell for Aunt Mint to come. Aunt Mint think Parsley has messed up the knitting wool when really it was Dill the Dog. Aunt Mint though saves the day by knitting the small chives jumpers to keep them warm.

Pashna lives at the back of the Herb garden. He is showing Parsley how to charm his snakes, although he is now very tired. During one of his show, he falls asleep just as the snake comes out. The snake escapes into the Herb garden. Confusion reigns supreme as a very fierce Parsley thinks Bayleaf's hose pipe is the missing snake.
