the harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun
More at home in the greenhouse than anywhere else, naturally, Amhran steps into the space as if he was born to be there, already unravelling his scarf from around his nose and mouth and hanging his coat on one of the many hooks available. Similarly pulling his hair into a messy knot atop his head, he joins Deimos on their search for an unoccupied bed, pleased to find a space relatively easily. While the other man withdraws his plethora of seeds, Amhran is already kneeling with the tools he's brought (of course he has his own) to till the fresh soil and ensure it's good and ready for the planting.
"Oh, wow - you got so many," he trills, accepting the seeds and inspecting their labels with a visibly pleased smile on his face. "We can probably fix an area up for the aloe - it's a useful plant and will perservere, so we should make sure we choose a space where it can live permanently," he says. "It will produce child plants frequently, too, so we'll need to check often to make sure it doesn't try to take over the bed."
Setting the aloe to one side, he looks through the others. "We can plant the berries along one border - they're seasonal so they'll come back every year - and we'll plant melons and peppers in the centre to give them space to fruit. I'll divide a smaller space for the flowers so they don't get overwhelmed by the rest. Does that sound good?"
