"The Beans of Wrath" is the 8th episode of the fourth season of Pepper Ann. It aired on February 9, 2000.

Synopsis[]

Pepper Ann and Janie compete in a floral competition against Dieter, but Pepper Ann doesn't think she and her aunt stand a chance.

Plot[]

Pepper Ann learns a lot about horticulture from her Aunt Janie and becomes obsessed with organic gardening. In school that day, Mr. Carter assigns the class with setting up their own garden outside for the upcoming fair. Pepper Ann has already decided on an all organic garden, while Nicky wants to make a hedge maze and Milo wants to make a carnivorous garden. As the plots of land are first come first serve, everyone races to get their land. Dieter steals Pepper Ann's plot, forcing her to get one that is situated next to a garbage dumpster with a hobo living in it.

Pepper Ann becomes determined to grow her organic garden and challenges Dieter to the upcoming fair. Unfortunately, the less than ideal situations causes Pepper Ann's crops to not grow as well. Meanwhile, Dieter fills his plot with cement, uses a variety of harsh poisonous chemicals and ridiculous amount of other unsafe things. With no other option, Pepper Ann decides to go to the store to buy bug spray, but runs into Janie who tells her that she does not need to garden by herself and that she will help her. Using things like manure, ladybugs and homemade bug attractants, Pepper Ann's garden flourishes.

The day of the fair arrives and Pepper Ann comes out to present her organically grown produce, but Dieter arrives with his mammoth sized ones. The judges hate the taste of them and a large carrot explodes in a mini mushroom cloud. Pepper Ann's produce is well received and she wins first place, Dieter admitting defeat by stealing her produce. Pepper Ann meets back up with Milo, whose giant venus flytraps have supposedly eaten Nicky, though Pepper Ann deduces that she simply dropped it. It is revealed that Nicky got lost in her own hedge maze.
