Hello! I don't know too many of you yet, so we can just call me your Resident Gardener A.

I've been waiting impatiently for the weather to get better - I know there are some old orchards here, and so I was curious... Is the fruit in this place similar to what you knew, back where you came from? Anything different? Exciting?

I was thinking of trying a little bit of everything, but if you have a favorite - describe it to me!

Or something that tastes awful - also describe it to me! Tell me about what your tongue likes~

[Uh-huh.
...Needless to say, he can... kind of see through the username. So.]

Sounds like you're up to something other than waiting for spring.

[bloomly]

Something like what? Harvesting?

[bravers]

[Well, yeah.]

It's dangerous out there. Cywld nests're getting closer and closer to the city. You know that, right?

[If that doesn't tip her off to the responder, nothing will.]

[Uh-huh. As if it isn't obvious who this is.]

Gardner A, hm. Are you planning on putting fruits in your garden, too, now?

[bloomly]

Do you think it would be a good idea?

I like the idea of a sanctuary. A place where people can go to relax and feel good. Fruit is nice for that, don't you think?

[grandspark]

Sure. Fruits are good. You should plant some if you want.

A sanctuary huh. Is that what you thought of your place back home?

[Her garden at home, the church in Sector 5.... those were her sanctuaries, huh. Not that the Turks ever gave her that kind of peace.]

I like really sweet fruit - like strawberries! That doesn't grow in an orchard though, does it?

[bloomly]

Strawberries are lovely, aren't they? I like it when they're sweet, but a little tangy, too...

They grow on plants! They look like vines, but they aren't really. A strawberry tree would be cute though, wouldn't it?

[justabaddream]

A strawberry tree would be so cool! But I like them being on vines, that means they're easier to eat!

i think the apple trees here are just the same ones as the other ones i've seen in other worlds!

but you know, i really like growing my own stuff lately too. i've got a bunch of herbs and lettuce and tomatoes growing inside in pots right now. it's pretty tough learning how to grow all of it.

but i like growing stuff a lot! somehow home grown stuff tastes way better.

[bloomly]

Oh my gosh, that sounds like a whole garden! Are you using seeds? Do you have any others?

I've mostly grown flowers, but I'd love to learn how to do vegetables...

What's the most challenging thing you've found so far, about growing them? I'd love to learn from your expertise!

[oathkeeper]

yeah! i use seeds and i've been trying a few things out. i'm pretty new to all of this and i thought i was going to screw it all up but so far my tomato plants are looking pretty okay! and not dead!

i think the hardest part is just making sure to get the sun and water right. every plant needs something different, you know?

but i'm a puca so it's pretty fun and tasty to grow my own stuff! haha i like eating flowers too, though. what's your favourite flowers to grow??

[Food is always relevant to his interests.]

I've found many things here to be 'flavour adjacent' to what I'm used to.
It makes cooking a challenging experience.

[bloomly]

Ah, the type who enjoys cooking! We'll call you Chef S.

What's your signature dish? Does it use any of the new things here?

[claritatis]

My signature dish is a work in progress. You could call me a perfectionist in things like that.

I do use what I find here, given that I don't have alternatives.

[And the rest, Ignis.]

Is there a Resident Gardener B?

However, not to leave a question unanswered! Some fruits here are similar to what I know. The apples certainly have more variety than I'm used to. I have yet to find olives anywhere, they're the one thing I miss the most. That, and decent grapes for wine.

[bloomly]

There isn't! Would you like to interview for the position?

Oh, what sorts of colors of apples are there here? I think I've only managed to see red and green...

Do they make wine out of something else, here, I wonder? Or are the grapes hidden away somewhere? The mystery...

You're a gardener? I haven't done a lot with the edible plants here, but I've grown a couple of things my partner bought me.

If you find out good info, I'm game for going harvesting. I heard there were some questionable berries or something?

[bloomly]

Questionable berries? What's wrong with them?

I'd be happy to share all my information with you! What did you grow? I tend to do a lot of flowers, but I'd like to learn how to do fruit trees and vegetables, too.

The fruits are fairly standard. There are a few ones of interest, but it's a bit difficult to find anything farther than the orchards. On our way to establishing the Northern Outpost a while back, there were trees that looked perfectly fruit-bearing and innocuous, but eating the fruit was a highly toxic endeavor. So outside of what can be found at the vendors' stalls in the city, there's not a whole lot to be said - not what has been discovered, at least.

That said, there was also a Shade out by the orchards a while ago that was quite clever about luring people to their deaths by pretending to be a crying woman. If you're out that direction, while we did get rid of it, know that's what you're looking forward to.

[bloomly]

This is all very helpful information, thank you.

It's a shame that the trees out beyond bear fruit that's so toxic... Do you think there's something that could be done about it? I guess it's best to stick to the orchards, for now.

Hello Resident Gardener A. I'm Bishop. For the most part, the fruits and veggies I found here are things I have back in my world. Cabbages, apples, pears, lettuce, those are exactly as I know them to be in my world.. The ones that are NOT from my world are the ones that look like animals and move around too. Those were weird and a little annoying.

[ Mostly cause his bond brought a spinach owl to the restaurant and treated it like it was the most adorable bird in the room despite him being there. Rude. ]

Thinking about it, I haven't really encountered anything that tastes out of the ordinary. My ordinary, I mean. Don't know what it's like for most.

[bloomly]

Hello Bishop~ It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

I'm happy to hear that some of my favorites are still the same here, too!

But I might need you to...tell me about the ones that look like animals... Fruit animals? You don't eat them, do you?

Not going for flowers then?

[ You know. With the flowergirl name. ]

[bloomly]

I might be, you know. Double fisting. Produce in one hand, flowers in the other!
