I've filled most of a notebook talking to local gardeners and botanists about plants that can grow in small spaces. I've got photographs and samples and I think I'm going to spend the evening planning a good layout for the balcony outside my room, if anyone would like to join me at the cafe on the ship.

	I'd very much like to, if you wouldn't mind the company. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Please do. I wouldn't have offered otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks. Have you learned anything particularly interesting about the plants here so far? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There's a reason I managed to fill so many pages! I did pay attention to which ones are used for making teas and soaps and things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That'll be handy. It'll be nice to have something green to take care of. Do you work with plants at your home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have a garden where I spend a lot of my time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you have a favorite thing to grow? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm glad you were able to get some information that will work for you here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's much greener here than what I managed to see of Atlantis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Considering the author for it that does not surprise me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I never got underwater there, either, so I'm not sure what kind of plants they might have had down there. But you're right, Tolkein's well known for his descriptions of the environment. Seeing it in person is wonderful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of those that did may be able to give your more accurate descriptions of the ones that were there. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'm interested. I'll be there. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Good. I saw you've been out in the forest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_forestry998 2018-02-18 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I have been. ~~You remember me?~~ There were trees that spoke and trees that were just trees. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easterly 2018-02-18 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	Ents? I think I remember those. There are a lot of cultural traditions of tree spirits on Earth as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_forestry998 2018-02-18 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? Do you know any that you can tell me about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easterly 2018-02-18 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	I know the Greeks have dryads, which are female spirits that are connected to a tree. For Bantu it's more that the spirit is in the tree. If you're making a drum you have to be careful to keep the spirit in the wood so that it still has its voice, and the same with boats because the spirit will protect you from drowning.

	That's really fucking cool. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'd love to, but I'm going to be out for the evening. Perhaps we can speak at another time? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	easterly 2018-02-18 01:30 am UTC (link)
	Of course. I'm intending to come back to the ship every night for the rest of the stop, so whenever you have time is fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-02-19 10:33 pm UTC (link)
	I look forward to it. Have you come across a favorite here? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	burningwings 2018-02-18 01:22 am UTC (link)
	If I were coming back to the ship, I would join you, but I've been camping out. I'm going to bring back lots of samples and my own notes, though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	easterly 2018-02-18 01:31 am UTC (link)
	I'll just look forward to seeing them when you're done then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-02-18 01:35 am UTC (link)
	I'll definitely be willing to show you. What have you been using or thinking of using for potting them on the ship? That's the only part I haven't figured out, mostly because I've been out in the woods since we got here. I could bring back some wood to build boxes, but if there are pots or boxes already available in any of the shops that would be easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easterly 2018-02-18 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	There are shops that have differently sized pots and a few planter boxes. It's not as wide a variety as some places might have, but it should be at least adequate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-02-19 02:08 am UTC (link)
	Oh, good. I was hoping there would be. I'll make a stop there soon, before I bring anything back. (Reply to this) (Parent)
