[Open] Farming Club Shenanigans

Who: The Farming Club! Also open to anyone who wants to come by and harass them.
What: Agricultural avengers assembling to till some soil, plant some crops, water the ones they've already got, and converse amongst themselves in a lively fashion.
Where: A large patch of open space between House 11 and the edge of the woods.
When: Day 79-81 (please indicate which day in the thread header!)

Ned's not really one for leadership, but it isn't quite so daunting when he knows he's just acting as a kind of deputy. Erik was the one who said he should get everyone together, and so get everyone together he shall. He put out a message on the network the previous evening, naming a time and place and politely (and a little awkwardly) requesting that everyone whose name is on that trusty list for farming duties show up to help get some more things planted.

They won't be able to accomplish it in one day. Some things will need to go in other places with different soil types (according to Lydia, anyway), and some things will need to wait for the greenhouse to be built. But in the meantime there are plenty of things to be done. Grass needs to be cleared, to give them a larger plot to plant in. Someone mentioned irrigation systems. He thinks there are other things - ways of regulating sun and shade, of keeping the crops safe from birds or other dangers. He hopes he'll have enough willing hands to help do them.

Ned's brought all the tools he can find - shovels, trowels, gloves, seeds, and assorted other items. He has also set up a wobbly table that he found in the church basement, with a few pitchers of cold lemonade and a dozen or so glasses on top. There is a social component to this too, he knows. It's part of all of them working together, against the people who brought them here, looking into a future in which they aren't starving and at one another's throats, but dependent on one another to keep all this going.

Rat just nods peacefully, and rubs his back a little, grateful to have set his load down. If he's bitter at Dilandau, he's not about to go on about it. "Yeah, Balthazar's a nice guy, whatever else he is, and I'm not hurt. Just need a few more days for my lungs to sort themselves out. I guess cutting back on cigs won't hurt me, anyway."

She smiles a little. "No, I suppose it won't. It may be a good thing, after all, since I hear those are hard to come by." She glances at the supplies Rat had brought. "I'm glad that you aren't hurt. I assume you're alright to do... whatever this is, what have you brought along?"

"That's nothing new, for me." He gives a lopsided little smile. Food is more important than cigarettes, and sometimes he has to choose between them. Then he gives a shrug, but tries to stifle his next cough for her sake. "I'm on the mend. Anyway, this needs doing. The pipes are for an irrigation and water filtration system." He gestures to the collection he's hauled here.
