| Story |
| At the far end of the galaxy lies Astro Farm, an amazing mini-constellation of asteroids, where anything grows. Astro Farm is the home of Sam and Lizzie Foxwood, their son Tom and his best friend Dinko, the astro-pup. They spend their days rocketing from one asteroid to another in their astro-tractor, harvesting the crops that grow there. Daisy, the Big Moo provides milk, plain or flavoured in boxes or bottles and a flock of Clucks and their young Clucketts have the freedom of the farmyard, laying their eggs all over the place. |

Trouble lurks high in the sky above Astro Farm. Gorpdale, home of the miserable and lazy brothers, Splodger and Biff, is the wettest and most miserable planet in the galaxy. Only disgusting slime curd will grow there and as Splodger and Biff hate slime curd, they are always plotting how to get their hands on the Foxwood's delicious fruit and vegetables! |
