Gil, Kelly and the younger kids plant a fall garden. With so many opinions to juggle, deciding on its location, let alone what to plant, is difficult. Meanwhile, budding gospel country singer and songwriter Lawson heads to Nashville to effort his dream of a music career. With one published CD under his belt, he lands a meeting with a record label executive and gets a coveted session with a well-known vocal coach. Back at the Bates house, the garden finally gets planted with Chad’s help and the family eagerly awaits news from Lawson in Nashville.

Lawson, qui voudrait bien faire carrière dans la musique, se rend à Nashville pour y enregistrer une chanson et rencontrer un producteur.

Les Bates décident de créer un potager, mais la famille est plutôt divisée sur le choix du meilleur emplacement.
