Um. Hullo.

Since the weather's started to change, I find it necessary to ask about what's normally done to care for the plantlife here in colder seasons? I've noticed a handful of gardens around the village -- is there a spell to seal the temperature around them? I've been growing a few things that I'd rather not lose...

If not, then this place could probably use a greenhouse before the ground gets too cold to sustain anything.

And, um. I guess that's all. Thanks.

Well, my friends and I could probably add some warming charms to a room in the house, but it would be terribly uneven and could do more harm than good, I think. I'd been thinking the magic from another world might be able to help more.

Don't think folks had much of a need until recently, really. After all, there's plenty of food in the shops usually, and not a whole lot of folks seem interested in decorative plants from what I've seen. And the wildlife sure doesn't need the help.

[Oh, right! They probably didn't have those available in Merlin's time.]

A greenhouse is a climate-controlled space that makes it safe to grow things year-round.

Of course it can. Magic can do anything. [Aww, muggles are so cute.]

Well, if you find something would you let me know? There are some flowers I'd like to help. The book I looked them up in said they'd grow back next year, but if I could keep the snow off them that would be great!

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

Really? [Well that pings his nerddom~]

What did you grow in yours?

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

I suppose... But there are so many other things you can do with plants -- with a proper set of herbs alone! Are people just not in the habit o growing useful things?

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

Flowers! Lots and lots of different kinds of flowers. What about you?

[Voice/Filterd]

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to keep you updated, Mr...?

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

Oh, I tend to grow things from my homeworld... I don't think you'd be familiar. But flowering genuses do have their particular uses too.

Oh! My name it's... it's Frank! [Stupid Legato, he's going to miss giving out his real name.]

[wildconqueror.livejournal.com]

Frozen? Aww...

[That could...be a problem]

...ya said ya keep plants?

[Voice]

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

It seems that a good number of people would be interested in seeing one be built. I think we might be able to pull together something that works before it gets too cold to do anything! [BRB geeking out.]

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

I'm looking into a way to keep them all from dying off in the winter, yes.

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

Well now would probably be the best time to start making arrangements.. Did you already have plans laid out? I'd love to help if I could!

[wildconqueror.livejournal.com]

Do ya know anythin' about tropical plants?

Well normally with a garden the size of ours, we'd have to work on transplanting it to the greenhouse around this time of year. I don't think you lot would really appreciate it if I brought everything inside, so I thought it might be best to see what everyone else is doing for the colder months. [Even though, in the greater scheme of things, the stuff he's growing is of a much higher priority than the grumblings from his housemates. But he is trying to get around inviting the Devil's Snare indoors if he can help it.]

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

I know enough to make some educated guesses... Why do you ask?

[wildconqueror.livejournal.com]

Well, I've got a friend who won't do so well in that sorta cold weather...

Don't you think so? If we enchant it properly, we could probably maintain even more exotic types that wouldn't survive here in a normal cycle. We'd get to discover plantlife from everyone's worlds! [Pardon the excitement. It's a little unbecoming.]

[Voice]

[esper-flight.livejournal.com]

That would be wonderful! I admit I've never tried to build anything, but I'd still be glad to help.

[voice]

[loyalotter.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, the Devil's Snare has to stay well away from people after what happened in St. Mungo's with it being used to kill people.]

Right. We might be able to use enchantments to stabilize their temperature or set aside a corner of the house for the more important ones.

I don't think I've met Flonne yet. [Or, for that matter, most of Luceti. He really doesn't get out much.] But she certainly sounds like the type of person who'd be the authority of things like this. If we could get a space together, I'm fairly sure it would be easy to charm it properly to maintain the temperature needed... Even if that'll probably be easier said than done, now that I think of it. Hm.

[nearlychosen.livejournal.com]

And by friend, you mean a plant of some kind?

[lotusgatekeeper.livejournal.com]

Of course they do! The Mistress has to have a luxurious courtyard after all!
