As strange as this sounds, I need you to not throw away seeds, leaves, or cuttings from fresh fruits or vegetables. I can grow more food stores from them. Seeds and roots are most helpful, given that they're already primed to grow.

I'm not promising an orchard or a rice paddy, but I can at least extend our supply of fresh food if needed.

Edit: I'll set up a system to collect the seeds and cuttings on at least a daily basis. Remember, they need to be fresh. I can't use dried, freeze dried, or spoiled materials.

	I have leaves and cuttings from Middle Earth and the Enchanted Forest too. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	If they're edible, I can use them. Preferable for plants that remain small. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Some of them are, yeah. I prioritized edible and medicinal ones. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I might be able to encourage a few extra medicinal species to grow. I wish we had more soil to spare. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have some soil too. Not a lot, but I got more for my planters than I really need. If you want to just work with my plants directly and put some more in my planters, you can do that instead of using the cuttings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as you don't mind. It would be more efficient that way. The less energy the plants need from me to sustain them, the more I can do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-24 03:21 am UTC (link)
	There won't be any harm to the plants after you're done, right? I mean, you're trying to keep them alive and keep us fed. That's what I want too. So I don't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 03:23 am UTC (link)
	No harm at all. In fact, if we get out of this soon enough we don't need the spares, or if we've taxed the soil to the point we need to conserve it, I can simply ask the extras to return to seeds. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	burningwings 2018-03-24 03:48 am UTC (link)
	Then you can go ahead. If you can help me carry the planters, you can put them wherever you're doing your thing and then I'll take them back when this is done. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	controlmyown 2018-03-24 05:13 pm UTC (link)
	I do, as well. Most are either medicinal or edible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 05:23 pm UTC (link)
	Keep them with you for now. Regina and I ware going to see what we can do to establish something more permanent than I can maintain with my powers alone. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	poisonedheart 2018-03-24 04:38 am UTC (link)
	I have a small garden that I'll give you access to. Most of it's medicinal, some edible, all of it I use in my spellwork. If you get some kind of community garden going, you can have whatever you need from mine. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 05:14 am UTC (link)
	The more we can grow in its own soil, the better. I can create individual fruits or vegetables, but it's time consuming with this many mouths to feed. I'd rather put that energy toward creating mature plants that can be asked to produce on a large scale. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonedheart 2018-03-24 05:26 am UTC (link)
	What would you need me to do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 12:45 pm UTC (link)
	That depends on your resources. If we can gather enough planting space, I can establish the garden that you mentioned. Encourage small trees to produce a yield every day, coax root plants to self-divide, and so on. It won't necessarily save a great deal of energy, but I won't have to individually grow every apple or orange. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dump the pool water, use that space. What do you think? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 12:54 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe. We would need to coordinate with anyone who has the ability to work with water, find out if they were planning to use the pool water in an way as reserve drinking water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonedheart 2018-03-24 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	Let me go harass the water kids, they have their own post going. If anyone can find a way to filter it, it's them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	If they can spare some fresh water to keep the plants going, that would also help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonedheart 2018-03-24 04:41 pm UTC (link)
	They can get it filtered. You want to take over a part of the upper deck for the garden? I can create a canopy that can be adjusted for however much sun we want hitting the plants. We should get Ronan involved too. He's got a way with plants. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	I can't say that I've met him, yet. If you feel he would be willing, then by all means. The upper deck and canopy should be suitable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	poisonedheart 2018-03-24 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	I'll see if I can get a hold of him. I'll go set up over there in the meanwhile, while you gather whatever you need. I'll keep an ear open for more volunteers for your garden. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxtale 2018-03-24 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	It's appreciated. I'll begin planning out the space once you've set up and we can determine what should take priority. (Reply to this) (Parent)
