[ Today is a Great Day. Double-capital letters, underlined with sparkles and everything. You could even call it the Greatest of days and it shows in Aidan's face as he flicks on the video function. ]

I got some great news, guys! I talked to th' wardens earlier today, an' it turns out they'll sponsor us with equipment and plants for th' memorial garden! I went ahead and claimed a spot in sector 4, so we should be able to get started any day now!

So, uh... yeah! That's comin' along! Lemme know if you've had any more ideas since th' last meetin'.

[ Aidan can be found down in the sector 4 gardening plots all afternoon, working up a sweat through weeding both his own recently claimed plot and the one for the memorial garden. Extremely amazingly good mood! Gardening does the soul good! ]

	Don't worry 'bout it, most people don't know this kinda stuff. I grew up on a farm so it was kinda my life before I even knew how t' walk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a really useful thing to know, though. [She smiled a bit.] So, once you have an idea of the acidity and everything, you'll figure out what we can grow here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-06 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	That's th' plan, yeah. Not that I think there'll be any problems, it looks like they've taken care of th' place pretty darn well. It's just... routine, y'know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-07 06:48 pm UTC (link)
	I can understand that. You just want to be sure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-08 06:50 pm UTC (link)
	Exactly. It feels better if I checked it m'self. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-09 02:50 am UTC (link)
	I can understand that. [It was like when she first started letting Paige brew potions. She felt like she had to watch her sister's every move.] I look forward to hearing the verdict. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-09 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	I'll, uh... I'll keep you posted! [ Smile! ] So do you have any ideas of what you want t' plant once we get goin'? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-11 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Something with flowers. I usually have leaves and foundation plants around because flowers I tend to kill. So, I want to make them work this time. This is special. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-11 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	[ Nodding. ] I like that... actually, I'm kinda thinkin' 'bout growin' some flowers too. I ain't ever done that before... not on my own, anyway. Kinda feel like it means more if you gotta make an effort, y'know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-11 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	[She nodded as well.] It does. [Now she had to think of colors.] Hm. I have to figure out the colors I want to use for what I have in mind. [Well, her part of it, anyway.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-12 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	If you need any help, you should talk to Hikaru. He's a wiz at designin' stuff... actually, I'm kinda relyin' on him m'self. Not really my strong point, colors an' all that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-12 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yeah? Maybe I will. Hikaru, right? [She made a quick mental note to ask him later.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-12 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Yep! He's 'bout this tall, real fashion kinda guy... he's th' team Captain of th' Flyin' Knights! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-12 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	[She chuckled. Sorry, Aidan, but you lost her on the sport reference. Piper wasn't a sports girl.] Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for him. Did you have anything in particular in mind for yourself already, or are you going to talk to him, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-12 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	[ A shame. They could use a bigger crowd! ] Well, he's been helpin' me out some so far so I think I'm gonna take his advice for th' most part. I wanna get some lavender in there though, if I can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-12 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	Lavender the plant specifically or just the color in general? [Lavender was a good potion ingredient and great for aromatherapy, relaxing, and healing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-13 07:11 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, the plant! My mom used t' grow them back home so it's kinda... I don't know. A tribute or a reminder or somethin' like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-17 03:45 am UTC (link)
	That's a good reason. Lavender is a good plant for a lot of things, too. The scent will be a good relaxing element for the garden based on that alone, and the clippings can be dried or oils can be extracted for a lot of different things like aromatherapy and pain relief. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-17 07:22 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, she'd dry 'em and stuff 'em in little satchels. Said it'd keep th' moths away if you tucked 'em into th' linen closet. I didn't know they could be used for all that though! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, yeah. [If there was something Piper really excelled at, it was anything to do with herbs and recipes. Potions were in that category, especially with their ingredients, instructions, and the cooking element that often came with them.] A lot of common plants have interesting properties that are good for all kinds of things beyond the normal being eaten and looking pretty.

	[ Nodding! ] I know some of that... like, some plants are good against nettle burns an' others keep th' bugs away. Nothin' but good ol' fashioned farmers knowledge though, 'm afraid... ain't a whole lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-21 05:30 am UTC (link)
	Well, I can always teach you what I know, too. [She didn't mind sharing.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-21 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? I'd like that a lot! Th' more you know, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trytobenormal 2013-07-24 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	[She smiled.] Exactly. I'll let you get back to this for now. Let me know when it's ready to start planting, okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-24 09:46 pm UTC (link)
	You can count on it! It was nice of you to drop by, Piper. (Reply to this) (Parent)
