The Smurfs are tired of Chef Smurf's disgusting food (except for Greedy Smurf, who eats it anyways). When Papa Smurf takes matters into his hands, he notices the food looks disgusting indeed, to which Chef Smurf tells him it's the best he can do with the vegetables he gets, so Papa Smurf goes to Farmer Smurf for an explanation. Farmer Smurf doesn't have one; the plants get love, water, sun, everything, so Papa Smurf takes a carrot to examine it and finds tiny parasitic fungus that impede the vegetables' growth. Papa Smurf gives a plant growth formula and a fungicide to Farmer Smurf, yet warns Farmer Smurf to not use more than a few drops each day.
