What are you growing around the house now?

[nearlychosen]

Nothing new, yet. But most of what's there now probably won't survive in the winter. If someone gets themselves kidnapped, we shouldn't be limiting our resources.

[cruxofapotter]

Good point. A steady source of dittany is handy to have around. [An really, having some devil's snare is a nice precaution, but he won't mention that.]

[nearlychosen]

[Oh, that was going to get a little pot in his bedroom regardless of the weather.]

You've been here longer than I have, Harry. How cold does it get in the winter? [He half-knows the answer is, but it's always better to get a second opinion to confirm suspicions.]

[wildconqueror]

[...wait what go back, that entry says what]

Cold?

...How cold does it get here?

[nearlychosen]

It was February when I arrived, and it was cold enough then for the lakes to have frozen over. I'd reckon that it's a bit colder than that in the earlier months.

[wildconqueror]

Frozen? Aww...

[That could...be a problem]

...ya said ya keep plants?

[nearlychosen]

I'm looking into a way to keep them all from dying off in the winter, yes.

[lotusgatekeeper]

You're a gardener too?

[nearlychosen]

It's something of a hobby of mine. [You know, the kind of obsessive hobby that's Better Than Air.]

[lotusgatekeeper]

That's really neat! I kept a garden back home!

[nearlychosen]

Really? [Well that pings his nerddom~]

What did you grow in yours?

[derek_bliss]

I was thinking about that too. And yeah, we're going to need a greenhouse before too long for the stuff that keeps living over winter. I know there was snow when I got here in January.

[nearlychosen]

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. Has nobody thought to build one before now?

[derek_bliss]

Don't think folks had much of a need until recently, really. After all, there's plenty of food in the shops usually, and not a whole lot of folks seem interested in decorative plants from what I've seen. And the wildlife sure doesn't need the help.

[nearlychosen]

I suppose... But there are so many other things you can do with plants -- with a proper set of herbs alone! Are people just not in the habit o growing useful things?

[likevegeta]

Spell? [Ping! ... wait, cold. Ahhh.]

[nearlychosen]

Well, my friends and I could probably add some warming charms to a room in the house, but it would be terribly uneven and could do more harm than good, I think. I'd been thinking the magic from another world might be able to help more.

[likevegeta]

I know somebody that does magic that could probably help, but, uhm, she's kind of not doing it anymore.

Maybe you should just make a greenhouse?

[nearlychosen]

Voluntarily, you mean? [What. Why?]

That seems like it might be the best way to go about things... It's just the matter of how that still needs to be worked out.
