They grow wild, back home. Maybe I will be fortunate enough to find a few here and transplant them.

It would be nice to think they carried lupins, wouldn't it? They are a bit of a weed back home -- but a whole field of them can be very pretty. And at sunset...! [ a light gasp caught in her throat at her own description. ]

If it's lupins you're looking for, now would be the time to plant them. I don't reckon the domestic lot grows well very far past the Spring.

[Voice] i am so excited for this slatebreaker March 18 2011, 18:16:00 UTC

They seem do to best in May and June. Have you seen any here?

[Voice] LOL wait why? nearlychosen March 18 2011, 19:11:58 UTC

It's not the sort of plant I normally keep an eye on, but perhaps there's something round the shop here.

[Voice] for some reason i think these two would make adorable friends. slatebreaker March 18 2011, 20:10:48 UTC

You're familiar with plants, then? Do you farm?

I see no reason why dey would not.

[voice] slatebreaker March 18 2011, 20:09:35 UTC

Ah. Have you seen them here?

[ was that an accent? she is anxious to hear more of it. ]

[voice] andallaretrue March 18 2011, 20:39:53 UTC

[It was indeed an accent, although Tia herself might not admit to it.]

I cannot say I know de names of all de flowers, but de land is fertile enough for such t'ings.

[voice] slatebreaker March 19 2011, 16:09:35 UTC

Fertile enough, hm?

[ a contented, brief silence. ] Then perhaps it will be a good pastime to start up a little garden.

[Ami is not familiar with Herbert, but she's fond of poetry.]

Those lines are very beautiful.

[Voice] slatebreaker March 19 2011, 16:07:26 UTC

They certainly seemed very apt with the coming season.

Re: [Voice] no_use_running March 19 2011, 21:55:34 UTC

They are apt. Could you recite more, please?

[Voice] slatebreaker March 19 2011, 23:02:15 UTC

[ she hesitates. ] Oh, I'm not sure. It gets a bit...dark. Not so dark as to be depressing but it certainly does not quite match the tone kept simply in those words.

I kept a vegetable garden last year, and there seems to be a lot of people interested in starting their own this year. As long as you know the requirements for whatever you want to grow, shouldn't be too hard.

[Voice] slatebreaker March 19 2011, 16:06:58 UTC

A vegetable garden. [ she thought about this and it sounded awfully nice. ] And then I could make dinners truly from scratch. That sounds like a lovely idea. [ ... ] When you say kept, do you mean that you don't keep it anymore?

[Voice] derek_bliss March 21 2011, 00:17:42 UTC

I've been...wandering for a little while. Can't really keep a garden going when you're not in one place.

[Voice] slatebreaker March 21 2011, 15:16:44 UTC

I suppose that truly would be difficult. Is anyone looking after it for you in your absence?
