ooc: Woo! Trying to get Skye a co-rank as a gardener : D anyone's allowed to join, but Skye will be gardening most of the thread!

Skye was in full gear to battle the weeds - well, not really. In fact, she wasn't wearing any clothes at the moment because she was battling with weeds - she didn't want her clothes to get dirty, so she had stripped down before getting on her hands and knees to take out the weeds that seemed to be infiltrating her beautiful garden. Her berry bushes were growing nicely - they weren't very large yet, but they were growing at a reasonable rate. She had splashed water on them previously so they'd take the warmth from the water, and it seemed to be working - none of them were dead, or even browning. In fact, she thought she could see some buds on some of them.

Happy, she took out some wooden sticks that she'd taken from her house. They came from loose boards all around, and she just pried them out and fashioned them into spikes. She'd mark the plants now - it was important to know which was which, for all had different names and uses. She took out her knife and the first spike and carved 'Red Berry Bush' on it, stabbing the spike just behind the red berry bush that was growing. Pixie had given her that berry, and she had thanked her for it; it had helped her realize her love for gardening and growing things.

She took out another spike and carved 'Blue Berry Bushes' and spiked it in the middle of a cluster of bushes that were growing. She knew they weren't actual blueberries, but she'd tried some in a neutral territory and they tasted quite good. They were also blue, so - viola! Blue Berry Bush.

She spiked the sticks all around the garden until every plant was labeled. She took a step back and grinned at her budding garden, glad it was growing and not dying from the cold that was seeping in.
