Lothíriel was pleased to see that Faramir had done a very good job at plowing the field that she had asked. The ground seemed free of stones and clumps, and was a very thick, dark, fertile looking soil. Lothíriel had great hopes that her garden would bring to Meduseld fresh fruits and vegetables that could compliment the meat-heavy meals that they had been able to hunt in the nearby forest. She was pleased at the idea that they could be self-sufficient...that they would not need to depend on the nearby city for their survival. And this garden was another step in that direction.
She dressed in a pair of "jeans" and one of Éomer's shirts, grabbing the seeds that she had gathered from the store n town, and made her way out to her freshly-plowed garden. Falling to her knees, she spent the next few hours in the sun carefully planting her precious green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, and various other seeds, using a watering pot to moisten each one. She loved the feel of the sun, the smell of the dirt, and the idea that from her work life would spring and they would eventually benefit from it. It was hard work, hot work, but somehow more satisfying than anything she had ever done before.
