Nice :)
I found some code details to improve.
At first, put this line somewhere before your main loop (before DO):

BG COPY 0,0,20,16 TO 0,0

This will show your background (the grass).

The next thing is that you don't need CLS in each loop, because sprites are overlays anyway and don't need to be cleared. You needed CLS because of the PRINT commands though, but you can replace them with the TEXT command. To clear the text in each loop, you can use BG COPY again, but this time it's enough to copy only the first two rows of it. Here are the first lines of the adjusted code starting with DO:

DO
BG COPY 0,0,20,2 TO 0,0
TEXT 6,0,"SCORE:"+STR$(SCORE)
IF SCORE<3 THEN TEXT 3,1,"EAT THE LEAVES"
